The restlessness, the whining, the endless demand for snacks. Don’t you wish you could take them to the playground and let them run out all that pent-up energy? We get it. That’s why we’ve set aside this time for you to bring your little ones in and let them play. We have two large open floors where your kids can be kids. Let them yell, let them run (sign a waiver of course) and let them play games. We encourage you to bring toys (no balls, bats, or expensive toys please) We do not supply toys (yet). We do offer snacks and drinks for sale at The Refinery drink bar. We even have Hot Ice Cream for the kids in regular or non-dairy. Parents/guardians must remain with children. This is not to be used as a babysitting service. Just like at the park, if you keep an eye on your littles, you can grab a comfy chair, sip a nice hot coffee or tea, and let your kids run around while you relax. It’s a great way to get to know other parents, catch up on a great book, work on a craft, or whatever makes you happy. Bring your phone, tablet, or laptop and enjoy our free WiFi. We are excited to offer this little sanity break for our hard working stay-at-homes. Check out any of our kid-friendly events on Mondays for $5/family, or try all three for just $10.
