The crawler area is targeted at crawlers and early walkers 2 and under. It is a safe and developmentally appropriate space that includes soft play mats for climbing and crawling on, a baby mirror, manipulatives, a ball pit, and a tiny slide. Crawler admission is free with a paying sibling or discounted if by themselves.
The Kids ONEder Club, targeted at children under 1 year old, offers a deeply discounted membership with free admission every day, half price access to our Big & Lil'Play mommy and me classes, and many other discounts.
The Lil’Town is popular with all kids as soon as they learn to walk. Like a childrens museum, it provides pretend play that encourages imagination, social skills, communication, conflict resolution and exploration. Lil'Town is made up of a Daycare, a Pizzaria, a Grocery Store, a Cafe, a Construction Zone, a Fire Station, a Pet/Vet Adoption, a Theater, a Home, a Bank, an Airport, a Library, a Post Office, a Coffee Shop, EV charging station, and a School. Park benches, vehicles, flower pots, and mailboxes line endless opportunities to shop for dinner, make and serve food, build a house, put out a fire, take care of your sick pet, go on a trip, drive around town, and take in a puppet show. It offers unlimited opportunities for children to unleash the power of their imagination.
Whole Body Play is a large room which allows for full movement of a child’s body and imagination. Large inflatable bounce houses encourage physical development, stress reduction, balance and coordination. Not to forget social cooperation, fairness and conflict resolution. Like found in larger children's museums, Kids Wonder is excited to share Whole Brain Blocks. These blocks create opportunity for dramatic, constructive, and gross motor play. Unlike toys, which often are limited in the number of ways you can play with them, blocks are open-ended. They empower children to use their imagination to build their own world, rather than inhabit one we create for them.
Our Snack Bar is full of a wide variety of healthy and tasty options. Careful consideration was used to find fresh treats you'd recognize. Bigs and Lils can select from a light snack or treat to a healthy breakfast or lunch option. Selections will change seasonally, but in general Kids Wonder will have coffee, juices, sodas, tea, yogurts, cheese sticks, snack-packs, and a wide variety of snacks, crackers, energy/nut bars, chips and treats. Kids Wonder is not an allergen free environment. No outside food or drink.
Adults are responsible for supervising their children in the various activity areas and we encourage Big & Lil interaction for family friendly play. However, your child will benefit from unstructured play, so please encourage them to meet and play with new friends and give yourself a break! Adults can relax with nutritious and tasty snacks, a coffee, a Colorado craft beer or premium glass of wine, or even a non-alcoholic mocktail in the cafe, or take advantage of the free WiFi to catch up on social media or get work done. The main entrance has a tall gate restricting child usage and all other exits are emergency alarmed to keep kids safe.
Yes, our littlest ones 2 years and under have a huge area of their very own to play. There is a baby standing bar with mirror, a small slide, a little ball pit, and lots of blocks, balls and soft things to climb and explore. We also have climbers, a playhouse, and a small jump house targeted at kids 4 and under. Early walkers quickly make the transition to exploring Lil'Town.
Fun! Our Big & Lil Play mommy and me classes are held once a week in the activity room. Please see the Learn tab or ask a Team Member at the front desk.
In the back of the center is a room designated for kids to use their whole body and brain. Two large inflatable bounce houses allow for jumping, climbing, and laughing. Physical play is not only great for a child’s health, but it encourages communication, confidence, motor skills and problem solving.
Kids Wonder is very excited to offer Whole Brain Blocks, huge soft/firm blocks that allow for all kinds of creations. By building towers, ramps, forts and masterpieces, kids can use their limitless imagination. This open play encourages resiliency, conflict resolution, concentration and cross-age collaboration and connections.
Kids Wonder is targeted for children 6 months to 6 years old. Older children can play if they play safely with the younger kiddos and for the safety of younger children will have restrictions when on the inflatables. For this same reason, teens and adults are not allowed on the inflatables.
Kids Wonder is dedicated to finding the safest equipment for kids. Over two years were spent researching, collecting, building, and even dreaming about what to offer kids. Our inflatables were made in the USA just for us. They exceed material and safety regulations. Our Brain Blocks are often found in children’s museums in large cities, but we’re the only facility that has them in Colorado!
Great question, thanks for asking. Cleanliness is of utmost importance to Kids Wonder. First, we ask our families to come and play when everyone is healthy and well. As a sock only facility, we reduce environmental pollutants and dirt. We also offer hygiene stations throughout the center, with tissues, trashcans, and hand sanitizers. Please take advantage of the Yuck Boxes by placing toys in them that have been slobered on, or are broken.
Our equipment and toys are wiped down multiple times throughout the day using professional strength Lysol. This is certified by the NSF, kills 99.9% of bacteria and is safe around children. Inflatables are fogged several times a week using Hypochlorous Acid which is known to kill COVID-19. Team members conduct 70 health and cleaning procedures three times a day. Thank you for your concern.
