We inspire learning...
Through imaginative play, through language, through STEAM oriented exhibits, through educational exhibits, through gross motor activities and exploration, through fine motor skills activities, through art activities and exhibits. We inspire community...
Through a public, neutral space that welcomes all, that is accessible to all
cultures, incomes, abilities. Through a space

and activities that show we
value different cultures, through a space that both encourages birth and growth of
friendships and strengthens family bonds through play together, through an organization that has a presence outside of our building in the community in area family events. We inspire health...
Through an emphasis on healthy eating, active play, and social interaction. We also encourage mental/emotional health through maintaining a space to meet and interact and staff that pursues relationships to encourage spiritual, emotional, and mental health.

First time visiting The Village? 👋

Not sure whether a day pass or a membership is the better fit for your family?

We make it easy.

✨ Try before you buy!

Come play with a day pass, and if you decide you’d like to become a member before you leave that day, we’ll apply the cost of your day pass toward your membership.

That way, you can experience everything The Village has to offer before making your decision.

Have questions about memberships or planning your visit? Send us a message—we’re happy to help! 💙

We're OPEN today from 11 AM-2 PM!

These extra play hours are made possible because of our amazing community.

Stop in, play, and help us keep creating special days for local families! 💛

👨‍🚀 Mission accomplished! 🚀

Yesterday’s astronauts explored, discovered, and let their imaginations soar at The Village. 🌎✨

Thanks for making our space adventure one for the books! We loved seeing your smiling faces.

⭐ What was your little astronaut’s favorite part?

“If I buy a day pass in the morning, can I come back later that same day?”

Absolutely! 🎉

Your day pass is valid for the entire day, so you’re welcome to leave for lunch, nap time, errands, or anything else and come back for more play.

When you return, simply stop by the front desk and show a photo ID that matches the adult who originally checked in.

We know little ones don’t always run on a schedule, so we want your visit to be as flexible as possible. 💙
