"We love giggles! A great place to stimulate your child's mind, encourage physical activity and socialize! Giggles not only offers a clean and safe place to play but also diverse toys, Montessori inspired play spaces and fun classes! Giggles is also a wonderful atmosphere to meet other parents and caretakers."

"A beautiful space full of wonderful interactive play areas. I love coming here with other friends and children since it is such a nice area to hang out in. I also appreciate that the price is for full day so we can come and go. Bonus points that owner Jessica is so friendly!!"

"My toddler and I have been going to Giggles for about a year now, and we always have so much fun! The classes and events are always super well thought out and engaging, and the space itself is beautiful, clean, and welcoming for all ages. The owner, Jess, is also super easy to talk to and one of the nicest human beings you will ever meet! Highly recommend bringing your littles to Giggles :)"

"I love this place!! They have many sections including one for crawlers, pikler’s triangle zone, little wood house, kitchen toy, block table, etc. It looks beautiful and cozy. They also have snack area. Even more good thing is you can see trains across the street! If I lived a little closer, I would have come everyday🤩"

"Giggles is the perfect place for toddlers. My almost 3 year old loves this place because they have alot of toddler-appropriate toys and it changes periodically. You're able to bring in your own food and the play area is gated and so you don't have to worry about him getting out. They have very high quality toys and my kid can play on his own for hours here."

"Three cheers for Giggles! Really enjoyed bringing my 9-month-old daughter to open play. The owner Jess thought of every single detail to make it a safe, fun and creative space for even the youngest of kiddos. Can’t wait to bring all our friends to this new favorite spot!"

"Giggles has become one of our favorite "go to" places for me and my 2.5 year old! Jess is wonderful and created a beautiful, clean place for children to explore and learn so close to home for us. We love the little snack tables, perfect kid-friendly bathrooms, and tons of fun toys and play spaces that are both safe and promote independence for our child."

"We love going to Giggles not only to play, but for their special events as well! My 2.5 year old never wants to leave. The space is bright, clean and inviting, and there are so many activities for parents to actively engage with their child, whether the child is 6 months or 6 years old."
