🎟️ Pay-to-play, reservations encouraged (walk-ins welcome when space allows).

☕ Our café is always open, play not required! We are an indoor play cafe designed for children ages 0-9 to explore, create, and imagine — while parents and caregivers can relax with a delicious cafe beverage in hand. Our space features engaging play areas like play

houses, a rock pit, ride-on track, STEM room, and a large gross motor zone. Enjoy our menu of flavored sodas, cold brew lattes, lemonades, and snacks — whether you're here for playtime or just stopping by for a cozy coffee break. With memberships, free weekly activities, and a variety of parent-and-me classes, we're creating a space where families can connect and the whole community is welcome. Come sip, play and enjoy your day!

📚 Calling All Book Lovers! 📚

We're looking to grow our little reading library at Dorothy's Playhouse, and we'd love your help!
If you have any gently used children's books for ages 0–5 that your family has outgrown, we'd be so grateful for your donation. Your books will help spark imagination, encourage a love of reading, and give little ones even more to enjoy during their visits.

📖 We're especially looking for:
• Board books
• Picture books
• Interactive or lift-the-flap books
• Beginner storybooks for ages 0–5

Donations can be dropped off during our regular business hours.

Thank you for helping us create a cozy space where stories can be shared and loved by so many families!
