This space has been curated with Montessori-inspired toys that will encourage imaginative and independent play. It is a space for caregivers to gather and connect, for young to explore, and a place that will provide a sense of community through those early years of parenthood! We have a range of espresso drinks available and some baked goods. Head to our booking page to secure your time to come and play, or consider us for your next gathering.

I am Marlow, the owner of Paper Planes. I moved back to Orillia when I was 8 months pregnant to be closer to family and to be back in my hometown. Four months after my first son was born Covid lockdowns happened. This period of time was difficult and isolating- being a new mom, in a new town, with A LOT going on in the world. Through this time I craved connections and to get out of my house!

In 2021, we had our second son and I was back on maternity leave. The winters are long and the summer days are hot. This is when I started to plan the idea of having a relaxing play space, where I can sit down and not follow my child through tunnels and down slides.

What does it look like to have a party with us…

• 2 hour party rental with an extra 15 minutes at the beginning and at the end for set-up and tear down
• Use of the entire space to yourself
• 30 people capacity (including children and adults). The space is small and I cap my sessions at 20 for open play.
• Barista on hand to make drinks (cost of drinks are not included in booking fee), and serve alcoholic drinks
• You are welcome to bring in your own food, cake, etc. just no peanuts and no outside alcohol allowed.
• You are also welcome to bring your own decorations, you will be responsible for setting them up and tearing them down.
• There is a 6-ft folding table you can use, adult and kids forks, reusable plates, cake knife, lighter, cups.
• Parking is free on Sundays, but on Saturdays you may want to advise your guests that it is paid parking

Full payment is due at the time of booking and there is a $40 non-refundable deposit. If you, the customer, have to cancel for any reason with more than one week’s notice, you will lose a $40 deposit (this is due to a fee I get charged for refunding customers), however you can reschedule free of charge within this time frame (you cannot reschedule within 24 hours of your start time). If you cancel within 24 hours of your booking start time you will lose $100 of your deposit. This covers the cost of cancellation and having to rearrange staff. If cancellation has to be issued by us at Paper Planes Play Cafe, a full refund will be issued. Cafe items are not included in the price. A waiver will need to be filled out for attending children and can be filled out the day of the event. Staff are available to make drinks, however, they are not available to be supervisors. We recommend that if children are being dropped off for a party that there is a 3:1 ratio of children to adults.
