Kids today don't know what they missed out on. Back in my day, those playplaces were the jam. Complete anarchy and fun lol. Guess they're just part of the Forgotten Fast-Food Lore now. Rip

DUDE YES! My kids lived in those playplaces in the 90s. No photos (ppl didn't snap pics like today) but trust me they existed. Totally un-germophobic days lol

aight so i went deep dive into eBay, talked to a couple of old McD's managers, even checked those retro facebook groups... nada. it's like a McD's conspiracy to erase the 90s playplaces from history lol😅 if sum1 finds it, it'll be like finding the holy grail fr

Very interesting question! From what I understand, many of these playgrounds were dismantled and the parts were recycled or trashed. It's a real shame because those play areas are a huge part of fast-food culture from that era. I read an article once about how the designs were changed due to safety regulations and changing public attitudes towards the child play in fast-food joints. maybe someone's got old VHS tapes of birthday parties at McD's with the playground in the bg?

I've been collecting old McDonald's memorabilia for years & trust me, the hunt for McPlayPlace stuff is tough! The HamBurglar maze thing your cousin mentioned might've been a smaller, less common design cause it's not ringing any bells. 🤔 There were a bunch of regional variations, so it's possible it was only in select locations. I'll def keep an eye out for it tho!
