Come in & Build your happy place

A Creative Maker Space for Kids of All Ages

SUMMER MAKER CAMP IS HERE!

A summer full of building, inventing, creating, and making new friends awaits. Our small-group camp is limited to just 8 makers per week for maximum creativity and fun. Learn More →


Open Build hours will be Saturdays only throughout the summer.

We’ve created a hands-on space where kids turn cardboard into anything they imagine. During open build and guided workshops, they explore, experiment, and build side by side with family—gaining skills, solving problems, and growing in confidence along the way.


Looking for kids gifts that aren't from Amazon? Our ("physical" world only) store features carefully selected tools and kits so the creativity can continue at home.

The space 

1000 square feet of creative space full of visual inspiration along with 4-large work tables, and a place for adults to chill.

Materials

Enough cardboard to build a large model of the Taj Mahal , along with all the materials to decorate it

Tools

Safe tools including bandsaws from Beaverbot and tools and fasteners from makedo

So, what's a makerspace and how much does it cost?

We feature the latest generation of kid-safe cardboard tools — from powered band saws to innovative hand tools and fasteners

A makerspace is a fancy way of saying "come on in and use our tools and materials to build stuff" Open build time is time set aside for folks to come in and make whatever they want. Purchase your $15 admission online or simply pay when you walk in. Stay for an hour or the whole day - no pressure - just make stuff.

We do parties

No matter the age, we’ll help you create a custom experience you’ll remember for years. Build a piñata, a cardboard castle, a magic forest, or even an adult maker project — whatever you imagine, we’ll design the event around it.

Wait what about the grownups?

Every adult who walks in says the same thing: “I wish there something like this for me” There is. Adults need creative play just as much as kids. Making with your hands— builds skills, sparks curiosity, and creates real connection. Especially alongside other adults who are there to learn and experiment.
