Out of an abundance of caution, the Change Center will be closed on Friday January 19th and Saturday January 20th. We greatly value the safety of our guests and the young people that work here. For those of you that have birthday parties scheduled this weekend, our staff will reach out today about rescheduling your party. Thanks so much for understanding, and please be safe in the weather! We'll see you all again soon!
