Welcome to the Nest!
Come play in our learning environment for infants, toddlers, and their caregivers!
Where: The Nest, adjacent to Kidzu.
We now offer Open Play Nest Sessions (3 hours) and One-Hour Nest Sessions - see descriptions below for more information!
Open Play Nest Sessions: Come anytime within the 3-hour window and enjoy an hour of child-directed play, collaborative art projects, and STEM activities with your child. Storytime will happen on the hour within the session. Older children are welcome to join their younger siblings for the weekday afternoon Open Play sessions from 2:00-5:00pm! Siblings of any age are welcome, with the understanding that the space is designed for infants and toddlers and older children should play with care.
Please Note: Nest pre-registered ticket holders are guaranteed immediate access upon arrival. Registration remains open online for one hour after the beginning of the sessions (9:00am/2:00pm); after that time, tickets can be purchased at the door as space allows. Advance registration is highly encouraged!
One-Hour Nest Sessions: Each hour-long session is facilitated by a Nest Educator and includes time for child-directed play, collaborative art and STEM projects, and group story time. These sessions have a set start and end time to accommodate other programming.

Please note - In The Nest, one ticket is required for each individual entering. This applies to infants, children aged 0-3, and their adults.
