🚀 Blast Off to a Great Back-to-School Month! 🌎✨

Our theme this month is SPACE, and we’re ready for an out-of-this-world adventure! 🌙🪐

With the new school year comes more fun and more opportunities to play! We’re adding more events for Wednesday early release and Saturday afternoons, along with more open play on the weekends.

And we’re excited to announce that Saturdays are now open until 5 PM! 🎉🚀 That means even more time for your little astronauts to explore, play, and have fun. We are also returning to our school year hours; Opening at 8am and short Monday and Tuesdays, Wednesday/Thursday/Fridays are back to 6pm closing time. 🩷

As always, we recommend checking our reservation system and calendar before heading in, as we may have occasional closures for private events.

Get ready to explore, discover, and blast off into a fantastic back-to-school month! 🚀⭐
