What to Expect
Our indoor playground is different than a lot of indoor spots in the area. We want our kids to have fun, but we also want the parents, guardians, babysitters, grandparents etc to be able to sit have a coffee and relax as well. We will have a free coffee bar , free WIFI, and spaces to sit around the indoor playground so that you can possibly get some time to answer those e-mails or work while your kids stay busy.
Outdoor Playground
Not only will we have our Indoor playground, but we will also have opportunities for outdoor fun as well! We will have barnyard animals, slip and slides, and outdoor slides, power cars, and little bikes for when the weather is nice! It’s all just $12 to experience the inside or outside activities.
Private play
You can reserve the barn to yourself and for your friends for an hour for $100. We’ll be posting our calendar with available times and dates!
Classes
We plan on hosting free classes like baby yoga, reading time, music and more! We also will be providing paid weekly classes like barnyard animal time and more! Are you interested in providing classes at our center? Send us an e-mail and we would love to work with you!
Private Parties
So many parents ask if we could provide birthday parties and events at PDC and now we can when the Indoor Playground opens.
