Kid Zone
ENJOY A WORRY-FREE WORKOUT
Kid Zone is a safe, supervised play space where your children can have fun, explore, and make new friends while you focus on your health and wellness. Whether you are lifting weights, swimming laps, or taking a group exercise class, our caring staff ensure your kids are happy and engaged.
Kid Zone serves children ages 6 weeks through 11 years. With a large indoor playground structure, age-appropriate toys, craft stations, and a secure outdoor play area, your children may never want to leave!
Reservations are required for kids under the age of 1.
What your child will experience
We design our spaces so every age group feels comfortable, safe, and excited to play:
- Indoor Playground Structure: Kids can climb, slide, and burn off energy in a multi-level indoor playground.
- Dedicated Infant and Toddler Zones: Little ones have their own soft, quiet play areas with age-appropriate sensory toys, jumpers, and books.
- Creative Crafts and Activities: Daily hands-on crafts, puzzles, and games keep growing minds active.
- Secure Outdoor Playground: On nice days, children ages 3 and older can head outside to run and play on our enclosed playground (weather permitting and at staff discretion).
- Attentive, Caring Staff: Our team members greet your children by name, assist with comforting arms when needed, and lead engaging group games.
