Children's classes include a variety of popular creative classes, including Tippy Toes & Tea, Move Like a Superhero, Playful Readers, dance, music, art, and more.

A la Carte Art is available anytime there is no art class in progress; children can work with a parent or with a monitor (when available) on individual art projects, starting at $3. Regular storytimes and live music are also scheduled; see our calendar for more details.

All of the above can be enjoyed while mom takes advantage of spa services, like facials, manicures, and massage, or enjoys a bite from the terrific menu at the cafe. Sight lines are good for watching little ones while indulging in these luxuries. Spa services are offered Thursday through Saturday for drop-in, or by appointment.

As if this were not enough to achieve under one roof, the boutique has a fun selection of gifts, clothing, toys, and books.

Although visitors can pay by the day for open play, by far the better deals are the membership options. Monthly memberships start at $35 and include unlimited open play, a free guest pass, free class registration (normally $25), and priority placement in popular classes.

Six-month and annual memberships are also available, as are more expensive memberships that include perks like free manicures, more guest passes, and discounts on classes, gifts, and birthday parties.
