Announcements
Dear Kids Square supporters,
Since our doors opened in August 2017, we’ve been on an incredible journey together. Through the challenges of COVID and rising operational costs, your unwavering support has been unparalleled and incredibly encouraging (We have kept our price of admission the same, with no increase since Day 1). Today, with a mix of gratitude and responsibility, we’re sharing some important news.
Effective June 1, 2024, we’ll adjust our admission prices to ensure we can continue providing the enriching experiences you’ve come to love. Tickets will be $11 for anyone one year old and up. While change is never easy, please know that this decision was made with careful consideration and with our community’s best interests at heart.
Our commitment to accessibility remains steadfast. Our membership cost will stay the same, at just $190 for a full year of unlimited visits. For those preferring flexibility, our three-month membership remains unchanged.
We are not just raising prices; we’re enhancing value.
Introducing initiatives to make your Kids Square experience even more special:
1. **FREE STEAM Evenings**: Three times a year, dive into the exciting worlds of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics with hands-on activities and exploration—all at no extra cost.
2. **Community Partnerships**: Our collaboration with local libraries continues, offering free admission and reinforcing our belief in the power of community support. Check with your local library for more information.
3. **Special Fridays**: On the first Friday of each month, enjoy discounted admission of $9 and extended hours until 6 pm, creating more time for play and discovery.
4. **Monthly Make-and-Takes**: Complementing your visit, we’re introducing a monthly make-and-take program, free with admission. Stay tuned on Facebook for dates and details.
5. **Monthly STEAM Demonstrations **: Explore the wonders of STEAM with monthly staff/volunteer STEAM demonstrations included with admission. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates.
Our mission remains unchanged: to foster a love for learning and creativity in every young mind that walks through our doors. With your continued support, we’re confident Kids Square will remain a cherished destination where imaginations soar and memories are made.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’ll continue to inspire families to explore, play, and learn at Kids Square.

What our visitors have to say!
Incredible place to take kids for fun, interactive entertainment! This was one of my favorite places we have found on our travels. So many educational areas that just let kids explore. My daughter had a blast. They also sell some affordable costumes and toys which made it a little easier to leave.

This is a great place for a group of kids to go together, role play as if they were in the workforce.
It’s quite neat!
Rock climbing walls, rubber sand pits & large Lego blocks were the biggest hit for my 2 kids.
They hated to leave, but we will be back soon!
-Anthony F.
We love Kids Square! Such a great place to take the kids. Each area promotes learning through play as well as a climbing area that is perfect for my little ones. My daughter’s love the stage where they can dress up and pretend to put on shows.
