Raising Astoria

Haven’t visited lately? What are you waiting for? This awesome space acts as a dedicated educational, play and classroom spot for local families. Two separate rooms are available to visitors during Open Play: One is an activity room with a padded floor that’s great for toddlers (it often has a mini bouncy castle and giant foam blocks), and the other is a sensory classroom that includes a magnetic chalkboard wall, a wooden playhouse and a custom-built wooden sensory wall with a bead maze, shape-matching toy, vintage telephone and a concave blowfish-shape mirror. There are even classes for expectant parents and the option to host a baby shower in the venue. Ages 2 mos–12 years.
