FAQ
1. What are “targeted play hours”?
These are special morning playtimes from 9–11 AM designed with specific age groups or themes in mind. They provide a more tailored play experience.
2. Do I need to reserve a spot?
No reservations needed! Just come during the time that best fits your child’s age group.
3. Are targeted play hours included in admission or membership?
Yes, they’re included with regular admission or membership—no extra cost.
4. Can older siblings come too?
Yes, older siblings are welcome, but the space will be geared toward the age/ability group listed for that day.
5. Are these open to everyone or members only?
All are welcome! Thursdays’ Coffee Corner is a little bonus for our members, but non-members can still come play.
6. What if my child is between ages (e.g., just walking but under 1)?
That’s okay! Choose the session that feels right for your child’s mobility and comfort level. If you’re still on the fence, give us a call! We’re happy to help.
7. Are the age guidelines strict?
They’re guidelines, not hard rules. We just ask families to be considerate of the day’s focus and younger kids playing. Play will be geared toward the age/ability for the time slot; anyone being too rowdy or rambunctious will be asked to take a break.
8. Can my baby come with my toddler?
Absolutely! We know families have kids of different ages.
9. What’s included in the Members Coffee Corner?
Fresh coffee is available for members to kickstart their morning while the kids play. Non-members can purchase drinks.
10. Do I need to bring my own mug?
Nope! We’ve got you covered with cups and lids.
11. What happens during Quiet Hours?
We reduce our capacity, turn off the lights, switch off the music, and create a calmer atmosphere—great for kids who prefer a quieter playtime or those with sensory sensitivities. Anyone yelling or playing too rowdy will be asked to take a break.
12. Are lights completely off during Quiet Hours?
Lights will be completely off, but we still have natural light from our windows coming in.
13. Is food or snacks available?
We have a few snacks and drinks available for purchase, but we always encourage bringing your own food or drinks with you. We have a water refill station at the ready! Please leave glass containers at home, we have concrete floors.
14. Can I leave and come back the same day?
Yes! Admission is good for the whole day.
