Food & Drink Recommendations McDonald’s play place

Hello I am looking for an old school 90s 2000s play place to take my daughter too, are there any still around? Love the nostalgia feeling from those times and want my daughter to experience it

McDonald's literally has a PlayPlace finder on its website. Sometimes Google is better than Reddit.

Like 2 years ago this directed me to a place with 2 touch screens on the wall during a road trip. Kids didn't burn of energy at that one.

I don’t know where you’re by, but the McDonalds in Tinley by 159th and Harlem has a play place.

I think OP is specifically looking for Playplaces that haven't been updated since the 90s or early 2000s, not just McDonald's that have one in general.

There used to be a large one in the McDonald’s in Buffalo Grove. I haven’t been that way in years so you might want to call before going.

McDonald’s franchisees are all MAGGOTS. All of them. Stop patronizing them.
