Sunny Day Play Space is designed to allow kids to be kids and adults to socialize, get a little work done, or simply have a place to play away from home. Their informal play space provides many developmentally appropriate activities geared towards infants, toddlers, and preschoolers age 6 years and younger. With a gentle nod to the “nature” of our area, the space offers a modern take on nature-themed play. From their large wooden playset to their indoor kitchen set, and all the gross-motor, fine motor, and imaginative play in between, they’ve got something for everyone!
 
 
 
📍 All ages are welcome within the facility, but the play area including the playset, children’s tables, play houses and toys are for children 6 and younger.
 
 
📍 Admission is good for the day, and there is no time limit for playing during open play hours.
 
 
📍 Parents and guardians must remain on-site at ALL times
 
 
📍 Socks are REQUIRED for adults and children.
 
 
📍 Admission is good for the entire day, and families are welcome to leave and re-enter the same day.
 
 
📍 They accept all major credit cards, but no cash.
