The Plae House is a modern indoor play café in Ajax, Ontario, at 334 Rossland Road East, Unit 303 — a thoughtfully designed space for children ages 0 to 6 and their families. Founded by two brothers and parents, Omar and Saeid Del Angel, The Plae House was created to bring something distinctive to Durham Region: a calm, beautiful, open-concept environment where children explore through Montessori-inspired play while parents relax with freshly brewed coffee and great food. All café menu items are prepared with halal ingredients. Ages 0–6

The Play Space

The Plae House’s play area is designed exclusively for children ages 0 to 6, with a custom play structure, themed playrooms, a soft play area, a ball pit, and a dedicated infant zone for the youngest visitors. The open-concept layout provides clear sightlines from the café seating area, so parents can keep an eye on their children comfortably without needing to hover. The sensory-conscious design draws on Montessori principles, prioritising calm, creative, and unstructured play over overstimulation. Each reserved play session runs for two hours. Grip socks are required for all children; regular socks for adults. Socks are available for purchase on-site if needed. All guests must complete an online waiver before entering — sign in advance at theplaehouse.ca.

Reservations are strongly encouraged and often necessary. The Plae House operates at limited capacity to keep the experience cozy and calm, and walk-ins cannot be accommodated when sessions are fully booked. Reserve your visit at theplaehouse.ca/online-booking. Sessions can be rescheduled once with at least 24 hours’ notice.

The Café

The on-site café serves freshly brewed coffee, specialty drinks, and kid-friendly snacks in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere designed for families. All menu items are prepared with halal ingredients. The café is positioned with the play area’s open sightlines in mind, so parents can sip a latte, catch up with a friend, or simply enjoy a quiet moment while remaining close to their children. The café is not open to the public during private birthday party bookings.

Birthday Parties & Events

The Plae House offers three all-inclusive birthday party packages — Petit Plae, Classic Plae, and Grand Plae — each providing exclusive private use of the entire facility for a 2-hour party window (with 30 minutes for setup and 30 minutes for cleanup).
