If you have littles ages 1-6, add this to your Chicago suburb bucket list this summer! ☀️

We spent the morning at The Playpen Glen Ellyn and with the new ownership, it’s still the same great spot and one of our favorites.

Filled with imaginative play stations, climbing structures, slides, ride-on toys, and a dedicated space for babies and toddlers.

Why I personally like this spot:
- I have gone here a handful of times in the past year and it is always very clean.
- It’s great to have a coffee spot in the same vicinity. ☕️
- Plenty of parking in the area.
- Great lunch options nearby that are walkable and toddler friendly. We like 2toots Train Whistle Grill + Blackberry Market
- A great spot if you have flexible work and want to get some work done as well.
- I love the size of this space. The layout allows you to see your child from anywhere you are sitting in the room. The room is quite spacious too.
- Great spot to beat the heat! 🥵

We are elated to introduce you to our General Manager, Erin Robertson!

Erin will be the welcoming face of The Playpen, overseeing daily operations both behind the scenes and in person. She brings years of experience in customer relations along with a background in early childhood education, making her a wonderful addition to our Playpen family. Her passion for creating meaningful experiences for children and families shines through in everything she does, and she is incredibly excited for what’s ahead at The Playpen!

Hi! I'm Erin and I am so happy to be here. I have four sons—16, 14, 12, and 12 (yes, twins!)—who keep me incredibly busy with sports, activities, and nonstop social calendars. We have a German Shepherd named Vada, whom we are all obsessed with. I live in Westmont with my boyfriend, John, and our gaggle of children. I love to travel, especially to Disney, and when I’m not cheering on the sidelines at a game, you can usually find me at a country music concert or at our lake house in Wisconsin.

I am looking forward to meeting all of my new Playpen pals!

It’s shaping up to be a great week at The Playpen with lots of opportunities for fun and play!
