Peek-A-Brew Play Cafe
My son loves this play place! It has so much for little ones to do! Multiple themed rooms and very clean! They have an amazing star program that gives you two hours of play a day for just $49 a month!
AmAdon Adventures
I have a hard time with open play at some place because they have such a wide range of ages that they allow! I love that kidcity has a designated space for younger toddlers that has age appropriate activities, gives my son some autonomy to explore
Kidcity Children's Museum
This place was awesome! They have so many cute activities for kiddos to do! They are so inclusive of kids of all ages I brought my son when he was like 9 months old! They also have a great trial program if you are not sure that you want to commit to ...

We love how much there is to do here! I come from a family that has a lot of kids ranging from 8 years old to 6 months old! We love coming here because there is something for all the kiddos to do and is educational!

My son loves the water tables at the science center! Sometimes it’s hard with all the older kids at the museum but the science center does hold toddler tuesdays which helps your little one explore without worry!

My son loved looking out the window seeing all the trees pass! Also during Christmas time they do a “polar express” train that is soo much fun and so magical for littles

Noah Webster Library
We like the Cromwell Library for the library play dates they hold, it’s a great way to get out the house and get you and baby socialized. The only part I don’t like is that the play dates are always held around 10 which are prime nap time in this hou...
