From bring-your-own-cake simple to fully hands-off, in a private space with the whole play floor to yourselves.
View PackagesA Room Built for Little Explorers
Mane Street, the climbing structure, the play tables, and a soft-play corner just for the under-twos. Everything in here exists so they can move, imagine, and make a friend, while you sit down with a coffee and actually finish it.
Little Lions Mane Street
A market, a doctor's office, a cozy house, a fire station, and a construction site, built for kids to imagine, play and explore.
The Indoor Playground
Our custom play structure anchoring the room, designed for safe climbing, sliding, and exploring.
Hands-On Play Tables
Building, tinkering, and taking things apart, for the child who wants to know how it works.
The Cub Corner
A dedicated area for kids under 24 months with age-appropriate toys and soft play, so the smallest lions have somewhere entirely their own.
A Sensory Space
When it is not booked for a party, the event room becomes a calm space with softer lighting and gentler activities.
Seating That Actually Works
Comfortable places to sit, with a clear view of the whole floor, and a cafe bar within reach.
The Café Is for You.
A play space that ignores the grown-ups is only doing half the job. Ours has comfortable seating, a clear view of the whole play floor, and a real espresso bar.
Rothrock Coffee
Espresso, lattes, and cold brew from a local roaster.
The Cakeshop by Tati
Fresh pastries delivered.
A Little Library
Borrow a book while they play. Just bring it back.
Loved by Parents and Kids
