Why We Love Indoor Play at Stemville
We LOVE Stemville for a variety of reasons and we want to share our top five with you!
- We LOVE that in each Stemville location you can see your kiddo at all times. This isn’t common in play spaces, and for those of us with younger kiddos, it can provide real peace of mind when you bring your kids to Stemville. No matter where you are, you’ve got eyes on them at all times.

- Rotation of activities. Activities are rotated often. That means when you visit Stemville more than once you’ll have a totally different experience. Everything is selected with intention to engage your child in play that is skill building, whether they’re running a pizza shop, or driving a robot, it’s all building towards something amazing!
- Cleanliness. Cleanliness has to rank on our top priorities. When you’re in an indoor space you want to make sure it’s clean for your kiddos! Nothing is ever out of place too long at Stemville and their amazing team is quick at sanitizing a toy and resetting play areas so that everyone can enjoy!
- Cafe. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the cafe at Stemville because it is amazing! While outside food is can not be inside, the cafe is AWESOME! You can grab a coffee for yourself and if your kiddo needs a quick snack they have a variety of foods available that your kids will love.
