90-Minute Open Play Sessions
Come explore, imagine, and play! The Playhouse offers 90-minute open play sessions where little ones can enjoy our play spaces, spark their imaginations, build new skills, and make memories with family and friends. From pretend play to exploring our sensory-friendly spaces, there’s something for every little adventurer!
Sessions are scheduled in 90-minute blocks, with time between each session for our team to thoroughly clean, sanitize, and reset the space for the next group. This helps us keep The Playhouse fresh, clean, and ready for every new adventure.
Need a little refreshment during your visit? Our simple snack bar offers a selection of prepackaged snacks and drinks for both kids and adults to enjoy while taking a break from play.
*To help keep The Playhouse clean, safe, and welcoming for every family, we are a shoe-free play space. Shoes must be removed before entering the play areas, and grippy socks are required for everyone entering the play spaces. This helps us maintain sanitation, protect our play equipment, and keep the space comfortable for all our little explorers. Grippy socks will be available for purchase for guests who need them and can be brought back and reused at later dates if you choose. Adult and child sizes are available.
Private Party Blocks
-
Celebrate your little one with two hours of fun, imagination, and play! Our private party blocks give your guests time to explore our play spaces, enjoy pretend play, and make special memories together.
Each party reservation includes 30 minutes before your scheduled party time for setup and 20 minutes after for cleanup and transitioning out of the space, giving you time to get ready and wrap up without feeling rushed.
