Play Create Imagine
Welcome to Gathered Play + Create! We have lovingly created a one of a kind space where you can enjoy a magical world of imagination, creativity, and old-fashioned charm. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and safe place for parents or relax, enjoy some coffee, or work, while their children play, create, and imagine with us!
WALK-INS ARE WELCOME BUT RESERVATIONS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
Our dramatic play spaces were just flipped in early September to include our take on an apple market, a miniature Luke’s Diner (from Gilmore Girls), and a vet clinic! Come imagine with us!
