A Playspace For Kids Where It's 72 Degrees And Sunny: Cloudbound Opens Its First US Location In New Rochelle

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — If the weeks-long spell of frigid weather has your small children bouncing off the walls, we might have just the place for you.

Cloudbound has officially opened its doors in New Rochelle, offering area families "a magical destination to play, connect, and create lasting memories." The 18,000-square-foot playspace, located at 80 Nardozzi Place, is specifically designed for babies, toddlers, and young children ages 0-6.

During its recent grand opening event, Cloudbound hosted over 1,600 kids, parents, and loved ones — signing up 1,000 annual memberships in just a few days.

From the company behind Sky Zone trampoline parks, and designed in collaboration with the nation's leading childhood development experts, Cloudbound says that it "combines the energy of a playground with the wonder of a children's museum."

The space has everything from giant spiral slides and castle-inspired obstacle courses for preschoolers to sensory-rich interactive zones for babies and toddlers. The company says that "every corner is crafted to spark curiosity, imagination, and growth."

"As a company, we listened to our guests seeking more meaningful play for their children during the most formative years," said Dave Hoffmann, CEO of Sky Zone. "After intentional research in this area, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Cloudbound, the newest space for kids to play. Focused on both mental and physical development in the crucial early stages, Cloudbound delivers engaging experiences for young children while giving families a new way to connect and build community."

Cloudbound says that as the time parents spend with their children has doubled over the past 20 years, they designed their space to "ensure that time shared is comfortable for parents, enriching for littles, and joyful for the whole community."

Here is what Cloudbound says you will find when you visit:
