Gaston County's Indoor Hands-On Play Lab for Kids

The Activity Playhouse is a reserved play lab geared to ages 18 months to 6 years old.

We provide open-ended play opportunities through purposeful play by harnessing and nurturing the innate curiosity, creativity, and imagination of little ones with hands-on and oftentimes messy experiences that challenges them to grow.

We welcome little ones of all ages and abilities and encourage them to collaborate with children over instruction.

Featured Words From Our Parents

Nyetta is an amazing host. Not only is she creative and skilled, but very welcoming, patient, and inclusive

Lex M.

This event was awesome. My son loves books, crafts and meeting new kids. He loved the dance breaks most of all and cried when it was time to leave.

Kiara S.

This class got my children and I out of our comfort zone and normal environment of at home learning to care free but intentional learning. My boys warmed up to the new environment fast, enjoyed creating with new textures and seeing new faces. We will definitely be back!
