Not your day? You can come anyway! If we have an event on a day that’s not your regularly scheduled day, your child (with an adult) is welcome to join us! You may also add the day to their schedule (daily rates apply) if space allows.



Please note: event dates, times, and locations may change for any number of little reasons we’ll be sure to keep you updated!
We also have plenty of other special events planned throughout the year!
