IKEA has many family-friendly features. They offer a supervised play area and a very reasonably priced restaurant. If your kids can wait to eat breakfast until 9:30am (the store opens at 10), this is a great place for pancakes! They have a great play area for kids in the cafeteria, too. You can order breakfast and lunch for as little as 99cents, a hot dog for 50 cents or a cinnamon roll for $1.00! They offer 99 cent lunch deals for kids, too. Uff da…even the Swedes eat mac and cheese.

    There used to be a great space for toddlers upstairs…the “berry basket” ball pit. It was convenient for parents who wanted to watch the little ones play while their companion did a little browsing and then trade duties. Well, no longer. IKEA’s management has chosen to move the ball pit downstairs into the customer service area and furthermore, it’s no longer a ball pit, but a sorry pool of stuffed animals with a television (!) playing overhead. UGH! The only way two adults can share a trip to IKEA now is if one stays segregated in the “customer service” area and the other enjoys the shopping; no more shared browsing because you need to exit the store (a.k.a. go through the cashier lines) before you can meet up.
