  My daughter loves coming here, for both after-school and summer camp, and she's met some really good friends here. The adults are amazing leading all these games with the kids!

  The New York Society of Play does great after-school programming for children. As a teacher myself, I appreciate the way play is approached and framed through the Social Contract, which helps create a safe and inviting environment for growth. The instructors are dedicated, passionate, and fun, and I give it my wholehearted recommendation.

  I have been taking my children to the New York Society of Play for 3 years. They have a great experience every time! They love the activities, the counselors, and the location. Their staff are incredibly professional, friendly, and easy to work with. I can’t recommend it enough!

  My son has been doing NYSOP’s Sunday Pokémon club for a few months and it has been a wonderful experience. The teachers are very patient and supportive with all of the kids and it’s become one of his favorite places to go!

I’ve also had the pleasure of being around during one of their kids MTG and Pokémon classes and the way the instructor engages the kids and teaches them the mechanics is such a delight. I wish I ha

  I can't express my happiness with New York Society of Play enough! We live in a world where children often get leftover resources, and New York Society of Play really steps up to the plate with their programs. Both of my sons have had a blast in their virtual programs. Especially D&D! They love it! As an Ohio parent, I'm elated that there are easily accessible children programs that do more than just 'take up time'. My boys do not realize how much they are learning about diplomacy, genuine conversation, and team-based problem solving at NYSOP, while having a blast and meeting new people

  I have attended NY Society of play’s adult gaming, MTG and D&D events. Every time I go I have a blast. Everything is organized and everyone always seems to have a great time. Also, everyone is always so nice and patient regardless of everyone’s playing level. They make everyone feel welcome.
