Build. Play. Together.
For kids—and the grownups who jump in
We’ve created a hands-on space—and a thoughtfully stocked shop—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.
Our store features carefully selected tools and kits so the creativity can continue at home. Whether working together or letting kids take the lead, the focus stays simple: curiosity, creativity, and the joy of making.
What's a makerspace and how much does it cost?
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.

Wait what about the grownups?
Every adult who walks in says the same thing: “I wish there was 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. Check out our Corrugated-U workshops or swing by and join one of our Sunday group builds.
