We might be known for our play kitchens, dollhouses, and swing sets… but we like to think that play sets are one of the things we do best. We love playsets for their ability to appeal to kids with all types of interests. They’re the perfect dollhouse alternative for kids who don’t want an actual dollhouse but love pretend play. So whether your little ones are into cute-cuddly-animals, fire trucks, or aliens, we’ve got a playset that will spark their interest and foster imaginative play. We’re highlighting our favorites to help you quickly find one that’s perfect for your budget and your kiddo!
For Toddlers Who Love Astronauts & Outer Space
Rocket Ship Playset $89.99
Astronauts, aliens, and robots team up (or fight against each other!) in this multi-level rocket ship. A working crane, removable top, and tubs of “radioactive” waste make for a harrowing and interactive outer space experience.
Get ready to go warp speed ahead on your next imaginative adventure with the KidKraft Ultimate Spaceship. This immersive experience allows kids to make believe in a spacecraft bursting with out-of-this-world innovation. Lights, sounds, a projecting galaxy map and rocking motion create an exciting atmosphere ready to be explored.
Have a little naturalist or aspiring equestrian on your hands? These are the playsets for them!
These horse stables feature stalls, grooming rooms, outdoor areas, and jumping hurdles… everything horse-loving kiddoes need to spoil their toy horses! The Sweet Meadow is sized for larger horse toys (like the size a Barbie would ride).
Part riding toy, part African Safari set, this playset is a must for kids who love the zoo or nature shows!
Is it just us, or do most toddler TV shows eventually have a pirate episode? If your little one can’t get enough of those scalliwags, we made these playsets with them in mind!
Think dollhouse but pirate-themed! A rope ladder, jail cell, cannons, crane, and more make the four-level hideout a favorite with all little pirates. And of course, a pirate’s not a pirate without a ship – this one is made to last with wood construction and fabric sails.
This playset skips the pirate hideout but makes the ship even cooler! It opens so kids can have the included pirate toys explore inside the ship as well as on the deck.
Drive. Race. Wash. Repeat… we’ve got your car lovers covered.
Three levels of twists and turns and a helipad make this the coolest car wash you’ve ever seen!
The elevator and spiral ramp are pretty cool… but the real wow factor of this playset is the racing ramp that launches cars into a daring jump!
If your little ones love the flashing lights and sirens of firetrucks, police cars, and ambulances, one of these playsets is bound the be a hit!
A helicopter, cool police motorcycle, firetruck, and some trusty canine helpers – oh and a pole for sliding down the firehouse! This set has everything kids love about firefighters and cops!
A smaller version of the Hometown Heroes set, this one focuses exclusively on the fire station.
Another multi-level fire station complete with a sliding pole…but this one comes with a few extra features like an ambulance and space for the fire fighters to play basketball or work out!
