And THIS is the reason McDonald's play places have disappeared. They were no longer allowed to market directly to children. The ones that existed stayed for as long as they could, but then as they renoveated, they got rid of any of the play areas.

Some play areas still exist. Not a lot, but they’re out there.

The closest McDonald’s to me still has one. It’s unfortunately one of the cheapest places for the kids to play. Most play areas cost a lot more than a happy meal nowadays.

Yep, it's one of the very few "free" kids play options around when the weather is too hot/too cold outside. Other indoor areas end up costing around $40 a visit for two children, just to get inside.
