Two spaces. Two ways to make
and explore.
Choose the space that matches how your child wants to create today
The Exploratorium
An outdoor, large-scale play space designed for movement, problem-solving, creativity, and getting messy.
• Loose parts, real tools, water, sand, and natural materials
• Child-led exploration with no instructions
• Built for collaboration, curiosity, and confidence
The Makery
Indoor creative spaces where children and adults design, build, and experiment at their own pace.
• Craft Bar, Tool Shed, and Splatter Room
• Pay for a seat, choose what to make
• No templates, no cookie-cutter outcomes
No planning. No clean up. Just space to explore
We design and set up the space, provide the materials, and take care of the clean up — so children can lead their own learning and you don’t have to manage it all.
Step 1.
Book your visit
Choose a session and space
that suits your child.
Step 2.
We set it up
Tools, materials, and spaces are ready when you arrive.
Step 3.
Children lead the way
They decide what to make,
how to play, and when to change direction.
Why creative play matters
Children learn best when they can experiment, take risks, and follow their own ideas.
Open-ended creative play builds creativity, resilience, and problem-solving — without the pressure of a finished product or a “right” answer.
