📅 Planning a June visit? Check our calendar first!

June is a busy month at the Play Yard! We've got several school and group field trips coming through, which means there will be a few gaps in the day where we're closed to open play to give those big groups room to run. The good news: we reopen as soon as each trip wraps up, so it's only a portion of the day and not the whole thing.

Before you load up the crew, take a quick peek at our events calendar so you can plan around those windows and catch us when we're open. A 30 second check helps you time your visit just right!
