🌿The wait is over—KidSpace Outdoors opens this Saturday, June 20! 🌿
Designed especially for our youngest scientists, ages 6 and under, KidSpace Outdoors is a brand-new nature-inspired play experience where curiosity, exploration, and discovery come to life.
This is more than a playground—it’s an outdoor laboratory for exploration. Young learners can climb through a towering nature-themed play structure, crawl and climb through a giant interactive bee hive, explore butterfly and pollinator habitats, stroll along a sensory nature boardwalk, create music outdoors, and engage with hands-on STEM experiences inspired by Connecticut’s natural world.
This exciting new outdoor extension doubles the size of our existing KidSpace outdoor experience, creating even more opportunities for young learners to play, imagine, investigate, and discover something new with every visit.
Join us this Saturday (or on Sunday for Father’s Day) and be among the first to experience KidSpace Outdoors. We can’t wait to welcome you outside! ☀️
