IKEA Bistro Aarhus

02/10/2024: Really good, especially the area for small children - only downside to it all is that you are not allowed to take food and drink from home, as everything sold in the playland is overpriced. Possibly could the prices be lowered.

18/09/2024: We had an overall positive experience. Much larger than expected. There were a lot of innovative initiatives. Easy for adults to watch the play, and to intervene and "climb up and get" if necessary (we went with 2 1-year-olds). Even though it was summer vacation, we had large parts of the playground to ourselves. A bit of a shame that adults pay for entrance fees, especially if you take 2 or more parents, as it is an experience for children. Something could be done about paying for one adult per child, and that other adults can accompany them for free. It was a plus that it was clean and tidy. The place was huge, and you can sit down in several places, so you are always close to the children's play. However, the food was under all criticism. Poor quality and very expensive. Any fast food chain or hot dog stand will always be tastier. And now that you are not allowed to bring your own food, some healthier choices should be offered, which are at the same price level as French fries. It felt a bit strange to buy French fries for a 1-year-old😅 (it's my own choice, after all). But in principle you didn't even have to bring water yourself. Sandwiches could easily be offered at reasonable prices, so that you are not forced into a burger or wrap and salad with deep-fried chicken (nuggets). So if the food got a make-over in terms of quality and taste (tastes like cardboard without any kind of spices or similar) and if not all adults had to pay to observe play, we would come more often. Because despite the aforementioned, you get a lot of quality for the money. In addition, we found the staff to be nice, helpful and interested in their jobs.
