A caregiver-and-child sensory experience where little explorers ages 12 months–6 years dive into the colors, textures, and magic of fall — scooping, squishing, splashing, and discovering at their own pace. Every station is designed for hands-on discovery — crunchy leaves, vibrant fall colors, and natural materials that invite little hands to touch, feel, and experiment with the season. The kind of morning that builds sensory skills and creative confidence without any of it feeling like learning. Just pure, unhurried, gloriously messy fall fun. Come together. Explore together. Get wonderfully messy together. Cost: $25

A drop-off art party where kids ages 3–9 spend three fun-filled hours sculpting their very own clay puppy — floppy ears, wet nose, wagging tail, and every adorable detail completely their own. Every puppy is completely one-of-a-kind — no two ever look the same, and every single one looks exactly like the dog only they could have imagined. The kind of take-home masterpiece that gets carried to the car like it's made of gold and sleeps on the nightstand that night. Drop them off, enjoy a well-deserved night out, and pick up a proud little artist carefully carrying the most important puppy in the world. Cost: $45
