A Place to Grow, Explore, and Imagine
At little kidspace®, play isn’t just fun—it’s the foundation for lifelong learning. Watch as your child builds confidence, discovers new ideas, and enjoys the magic of exploration—one playful moment at a time!
Led by early education experts, every part of little kidspace® fosters sensory, social, and cognitive growth through play. And with thoughtful amenities like a private nursing room, family-friendly restrooms, and a lunch area, we’ve made it easy for caregivers to relax while their little scientists learn.
EXPLORE & PRETEND
A treehouse, farm, ambulance, and more! From caring for animals on the farm to driving an ambulance or climbing into a treehouse, themed areas inspire imaginative play while a controlled, staffed entryway keeps little explorers safe.
WATER PLAY ZONE
Splish, splash, experiment! Children engage with water wheels, bells, ramps, and more, discovering the properties of water through hands-on interaction. It’s a fun, sensory-rich way to learn through play.
THE POWER OF PLAY
Play is how young children learn! Pretend play helps kids understand the world, develop empathy, and express themselves. Don’t be surprised if you hear them repeating your words in their play—it’s all part of how they make sense of their experiences!
DESIGNED FOR YOUNG MINDS
A space built just for early learners. Young children learn differently than older kids. little kidspace® is a separate, developmentally appropriate area where they can explore safely without competition from bigger kids.
BIG KIDLAB
A space for older siblings to explore! Older kids (grades 2–11) tagging along with little kidspace® visitors can enjoy hands-on activities designed just for them in Big KidLab—a safe, engaging space just for big thinkers.
