About
Welcome to our Happy Place!!! š Our colorful 750 sq ft playroom is a community space for friends, family, and neighbors to come together in playful celebration.Ā
No matter how you like to party, there is room for you in the Happy Place! The play side is a secret magical land covered with fluffy grass turf that offers a sturdy central play structure complete with stairs, slide, acrylic windows and hidden surprises like a lacing wall and ball run. The sitting area has 4 ADA-accessible picnic-style tables with plenty of room for enjoying snacks, reading books, and doing activities.Ā
The room is best suited to kids 1-7 yrs though infants and older siblings are welcome to come play too!! All we ask is that big kids please keep an eye out for the safety of little ones.
Kids must be accompanied at all times while in the Happy Place. Grown-ups are welcome to hang out in any area of the room. We even have wifi available for parents who need to get some work done while their little ones play!
Feel free to bring snacks! Outside food is welcome in the playroom but must stay behind the rainbow and in the sitting area. We are not able to provide any food, drinks, or snacks nor do we have any requirements for catering. Outfitting a party or in need of a snack? We're happy to recommend local businesses on request! Limited cold storage is available ā please inquire for more info.
