Alara+Zane

This place is a DREAM!
Whoever came up with this concept is a genius!
And as soon as I entered the young ladies at the front were super friendly.

Not only do they have wonderful products, including Plan Toys, they have some very unique selections that you won’t find at your local Target.

I noticed that someone had set up a birthday party and they used an event planner. I met her…She was so delightful.
I included a video describing her business.
If I had a little one and needed to plan a birthday party, I would definitely use her!
Stop by Alara + Zane & support local & enjoy 💕

We had our baby girls first birthday party at Alara & Zane this past weekend and it was the best experience all around. First off, The Owner, Sanaa, was very professional and very accommodating. She and her staff went above and beyond to make sure our little girl and our guest had the best time. This place is a parents dream. The play area is super clean and organized. Sanaa and her staff made sure the flow of things ran smoothly. lastly, the decorations were beautiful. We asked for spring time bunnies theme and they delivered!!! I can’t say enough about our experience. Thank you Sanaa for everything.

OH MY GOSH!!! This shop is amazing! I don't even have kids, and I wanted to buy stuff for every niece, nephew, neighbor, or friends' child! They had THE absolute cutest baby/children's clothing that is boutique unique without being pretentious. 🥰 The staff even help you put together super adorable outfits (with accessories if you want! Ahh, tiny sunglasses kill me with cuteness)! They also have fun games and gifts for kiddos. ANNNND they have excellent play and craft areas that can be reserved for parties and events! If you have little ones in your life, you HAVE to come visit here!

A cute concept and cute play place for kids! My girlfriend and I took her 21 month old and he loved it. They had multiple areas/rooms for different types of play (art room, dress up room, main room, etc). Montessori style toys. The slide in the main room was a big hit! $15.00 for 90 minutes. Extremely clean! They also have a store attached to it with really cute clothes and toys!

Amazing indoor play room for kiddos under 5! Lots of high end montessori, waldorf and developmental toys, beautifully designed to spark interest in kids, and it was sparkling clean! My one year old and his friends loved it so much that we actually could sit down for a minute. That's the other thing, the space was designed so well that you don't really have to chase after your toddlers. They can roam from one room to another and run around with it not being so big that they would get lost. The owner and staff were very friendly too! Highly recommend. We are a huge fan and will definitely go back.

We just recently hosted a one year birthday party for our daughter and the staff did such an awesome job taking care of every detail in the party. We loved just showing up and having Alara & Zane staff take care of all of the details!! It was so pretty, my daughter had the best time during music and bubble time. The staff is knowledgeable and very very hard working! I so recommend for anyone looking for a fun filled party for kids and adult to consider this place!! 10/10 for the best staff, and the prettiest play area in Raleigh!

My daughter enjoyed her time here today and so did this mama! Super cute play space, clean, and amazing staff! The staff member took her down the slide and helped put her shoes on at the end. We love this place and will be getting a monthly membership for the colder months ahead!

Alara+Zane is an oasis for kids and adults who need a break from their normal routine. The staff go out of their way to make your visit memorable. You can't beat a giant indoor slide. Their inventory is constantly rotating to the newest, most creative things available. Playtime coupled with some shopping on the way out and this place will make your day.

I'm so happy we picked Alara + Zane for our daughter's first birthday party. They went above and beyond to make sure her party was special. The entire party planning experience was completely stress-free and the play space was so well decorated for the party. All the kids (and even the adults!) had a great time. Plus, the store itself is ridiculously cute. Very tempting to buy one of everything.

A gem that is an absolute delight for both kids and parents. Featuring a spacious and bright play area, this one of a kind space is the perfect place to allow children to explore, play and have a fantastic time. There’s a fun slide, dress up area, craft area and even an infant play area for babies to enjoy. Plenty of space for parents and caretakers to relax and enjoy a magical day. The staff is so absolutely sweet and wonderful with kids. They also have a store that features the most gorgeous and unique children's clothing and accessories. THE perfect place to go for a truly exceptional day.

I brought my daughter here last weekend and she had a blast. The staff was extremely helpful in assisting with crafts we were interested in and the play area was exceptionally clean. It was not overly busy which made for my daughter having plenty of freedom to explore. Highly recommend and we will be back:)

WOW! This is the GO TO place for everything kids! The play space is so amazing and so creative! The kids will never run out of things to do! The owner Sanaa is so kind and loving towards every child that walks in the door. if you were debating about coming to Alara + Zane you need to experience the wonder!!!

Amazing concept of play and shop. The assortment is curated with quality brands and good taste. I found these super cool matching tennis shoes (parent/kid) and I was so happy with that! The staff was friendly and helpful and my little one had the best time playing at the indoor playground (which is Montessori inspired and made for quality play time).

Alara+Zane hosted the most amazing birthday party for my five year old girl. Sanaa and her team perfectly planned crafts, games, and activities that made sure the kids were having a blast. Not only is the play space beautiful, filled with interested toys, dress up, arts and crafts, technology, and more, it is such a wonderful setting to talk with other parents while kids have fun. The setting is very clean, and large making it feel like a very safe place to play during COVID. We already can’t wait to go back and play at a timed play time! Oh, and make sure to shop the beautiful curated selection of clothes in the shop attached!

What an amazing experience! The shop is adorable, the play time was such a great experience to help my daughter adventure outside of the house, and the team (shoutout to Anna) was absolutely amazing. We are definitely team Alara + Zane - so lucky to have found this place!

Alara+Zane is the ultimate Children's play place and Mama's shopping oasis! My boys got to dress up, play and do art while I shopped around. The clothing pieces are unique, affordable and the BEST quality I have found locally. This was a one of a kind place that provided this Mama with an exceptional shopping experience!

I brought my son here and he really enjoyed it. Lots of fun cool rooms such as a music room, an art room, a dress up room, etc. Cool train table area, playpen thing with balls, big slide. Staff was really nice. Environment was clean and well organized. My son is 23 old and I imagine this place is ideal for kids his age. Will be coming back for sure.

We celebrated my son’s birthday there. He loved it. Sanaa made his party extra special with cute craft projects. Such a nice, cute and fun place for young kiddos.

This is a piece of heaven. The staff was so nice and hands on. Not only did my girls (3 and 1) get to run around and get energy out but they even got to do two crafts led by an employee. The boutique is beautiful with great prices and the snack bar is kid heaven with snacks parents would approve. The rooms are open, clean, organized and filled with high end offerings. I cannot wait to visit again!

Sanaa planned the most amazing birthday for my four year old! Everything from the decorations to the activities to the food was planned to perfection. Working with Sanaa was easy and seamless. We are so grateful for everything she did to make the birthday absolutely perfect.
