Play Hollow is an amazing find in downtown Ballston Spa featuring quality gifts and essentials for babies, toddlers, and parents too! Natalia is knowledgeable and passionate about supporting young families and the entire Ballston Spa community. We love the open play room and unique finds!

Super delayed because im having so much fun with my new purchase! Cutting baby food has never been so entertaining!

What pleasant people they have here! My online order had a shipping issue which I was unaware of and they proactively offered a more than generous solution and a handwritten note apologizing for the issue in my package.

It was such a surprise seeing as I wasn't even aware there was an issue. Can't wait to visit this store in person! I see from all the other positive reviews that it's the perfect place to bring little ones.

Play Hollow is such a sweet spot for families. The back play room is adorable and open for free play often. My toddler had the best time playing! The retail side of the space is so thoughtfully stocked with sustainable options. My most recent purchases include a natural bug spray (which is incredible) and an adorable, submarine swim shirt and hat for my tiny, vehicle-lover. We love Play Hollow!

THE BEST! Not only is the store full of carefully selected, high quality kids clothing, educational toys, and accessories, but the back play room is an absolute treasure. My toddler loves free play and attended space summer camp here. The summer camp was well-organized, playful, joyful, and educational. Sign up early- they sell out fast. This place is truly a treasure, full of high energy, passionate, and kind staff.

Such a fun and cute shop! The store owner, Natalia, is so friendly and is very passionate about creating an engaging environment for kids. I especially love the focus on community and nature. I could have bought everything in the store, but left with "the kids gratitude kit" that my daughter already loves. I will certainly be back soon for other gifts!

I have a kiddo I work with that struggles with socializing, so I take him to Play Hollow's sensory and social class whenever we get a chance. The staff at Play Hollow have been so incredibly accommodating to him. They had adaptive scissors available for him when we were completing a craft. They make sure he's comfortable and remind the other children to be mindful of their volume. They offer him a quiet place when he needs it. They really try so hard to make sure every kid can participate and feel welcome, which is not a common experience in community spaces. I honestly can't say enough good things about Play Hollow and the people that work there!

I stopped in while visiting the area, and found a beautiful selection of children’s toys, clothes and accessories. It’s clear that the owners carefully curate and really care about their choices! There was also a sensory table to keep my toddler occupied, and found that they actually hold classes and playtime in another room. They were extremely friendly (which is wonderful considering I find that a lot of children’s stores don’t want kids touching anything 🤣!)

We will absolutely be back for play time when we’re back in town, and I plan to order a few things for upcoming baby showers since they give such great suggestions, so I can trust them to pick things for me!!

Play Hollow has the best wooden toys. There are so many imaginative toys for children to engage in curious play! There are a bunch of Spanish, French books for kids, I've stocked up! Natalia has so many cool class offerings too! This store is a little gem of Ballston Spa.
