Kidcity is temporarily closed so that we don't add to the coronavirus crisis. We'll re-open when things are getting back to normal! Imagination play for kids from 1 to 7 and their favorite grown-ups. Picked by Yankee Magazine in 2012 as the "Best Indoor Adventure" in New England!

Great pretend play experience for 2-5 year olds! Had two 2 year olds, one 3 year old, and one 4 year old. Loved all the play areas that allow kids to imagine! The dinosaurs tucked into an alcove were a hit when the older two needed a break from the crowd. The boat and fish were popular although the boys fought over the fish! Never enough! The block room was a nice place to calm down and create as well as share with other kids. The oldest boy loved the medieval room, flinging the balls and building with blocks. We brought lunch and had plenty if room to eat and drink before returning to play. I am sad that COVID has limited these play spaces, but look forward to returning when safe. I hope our family membership is pro-rated! I have not checked. Great space, miss KID CITY!
