Open now for private parties · open play returns late September Founding memberships (734) 773-3317
1954 S. Industrial Hwy · Ann Arbor

We're not gone. We're getting ready.

Hide and Seek, Ann Arbor's calm indoor playground and play cafe, reopens in a few short weeks, under new ownership in collaboration with the founders. For the most part things stay the same — Krista still here, the same pretend-play stations, limited-capacity open play, a low-stim environment, and a cafe that's genuinely for caregivers. We're adding a few upgrades we've wanted to build for a long time.

Private parties are running right now. The building is yours for two hours, and the autumn weekends are filling.

And until open play returns, the first 50 families can claim a founding membership — six months at a price we won't offer again.

Founding membership

Six months of unlimited play, paid once.

$210 / six months, per child

That works out at $35 a month against the $45 it will be afterwards — you save $60 per child. Your six months start the day we open.

  • Unlimited open play — one session a day, booked ahead
  • A free drip coffee every single visit
  • One buddy pass a month, for a friend
  • $25 off any birthday party
  • First pick of class times before we open to everyone
  • No auto-renewal — nothing is charged after the six months

Each additional child is $150 for the same six months — $25 a month against $30 after. Members book sessions in advance like everyone else. Claim your spot below and we'll send you a payment link.

Limited to 50 families

We're capping this at 50 families so the rooms stay as quiet as they've always been. When it's full, it's full.

Open now

Private parties never stopped

We are booking them today. The whole place to yourselves for two hours, packages from $395, and a host who does the setting up and the clearing away. October, November and the holidays are filling — the good weekend slots go first.

What's changing

Four things that will be different when we open.

New room

A STEM lab

The old nursing room becomes a proper building-and-tinkering space — a light table, a magnetic wall board, gears and ramps. The nursing room moves somewhere quieter.

Cozier

The mindfulness room

Low light, soft textures, nothing that beeps. It now offers comfy seating for adults and kiddos — the room families asked for most.

New

Memberships, finally

Unlimited play from $45 a month, with a coffee included every visit. Come three times a month and it has already paid for itself.

More to come

Classes and events

Character events with Starbright, plus storytime and STEM classes — all in the works. We'll post the full schedule before we open.
