Imagine a world where your kids can step inside their favorite stories and interact with their best-loved characters in entirely new ways. Netflix Playground is an all-in-one app designed for exactly that — bringing the worlds of Sesame StreetDr. SeussPeppa PigStoryBots, Gabby’s Dollhouse, and Bad Dinosaurs to life through fun, enriching, and age-appropriate activities.

As parents, we know the find is only half the battle; too often, a great digital discovery is ruined by unexpected ads, hidden fees, or unwanted in-app content. Netflix has made it easier to say “yes” to playtime by putting these premium experiences all in one place — with no in-app purchases, no additional fees, and zero ads. Now get ready to play and explore the world of Netflix Playground!

What is Netflix Playground?

Netflix Playground is your destination for an ever-growing library of instantly playable games for kids aged 8 and younger, available exclusively to Netflix members. The mobile app is full of enriching experiences designed to spark creativity, laughter, and fun with your kids’ favorite characters — all ad-free with no in-app purchases or extra costs. 

Getting started is a breeze. Just download the app to your smartphone or tablet, sign in, and you’ll find a bunch of games and activities ready to go. You’ll see familiar faces from Dr. Seuss’s Horton!Peppa PigBad DinosaursSesame Street, and more. Netflix Playground keeps our growing catalog of games in one place, giving you more peace of mind and your kids more enjoyable time to play. What’s more, everything is playable offline, so your kids can continue to enjoy the fun on long airplane rides or grocery trips.

How do I use Netflix Playground?

Using Netflix Playground is easy. All you have to do is find it on the Apple App Store or Google Play, download it to your smartphone or tablet, and sign in to your Netflix account. From there, you’ll find games and activities in a familiar interface, arranged by the familiar characters your kids know and love.

Managing installed games is a cinch, too. In Settings, a graph shows how much storage the games occupy on your device, and deleting games your kids aren’t playing anymore only takes a tap.
