We're open. Come play.

Hide and Seek, Ann Arbor's calm indoor playground and play café, is open again under new local 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 comfortable spot for caregivers, with a café coming soon. We're adding a few upgrades we've wanted to build for a long time.

First open play: Saturday, September 26, 3:30–5:30 pm. Sessions are capped to keep the rooms calm, so please book ahead. Walk-ins are welcome if there's space.

Planning to come often? The first 35 families can claim a founding membership: six months at a price we won't offer again.

That works out at $35 a month against the regular $65 — you save $180 per child. Your six months start when you join.

  • Unlimited open play — one session a day, booked ahead
  • A free drip coffee every visit, once our café opens
  • 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 the regular $30. Members book sessions in advance like everyone else. Claim your spot with our short form, and you'll get the payment link as soon as you submit it.

What's new

Same Hide and Seek, with a few upgrades.

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 $65 a month. Come about four times a month and it has 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 schedule as dates are confirmed.

The play floor: a wooden climbing ramp and arch on soft rugs, with a play kitchen, market stall and salon set up under white house frames along a mint wall.
The play floor. For letting them get on with it.
The cafe counter: a butcher-block bar with metal stools, looking across a low gate into the play area, with a sofa and bookshelves beyond.
The café side, coming soon. Good coffee, and a seat where you can still watch them play.
The mindfulness room: a glowing blue bubble tube in the corner beside a grey bean-bag lounger, a white wave rocker along the far wall, soft foam blocks on the floor and calming cards hung at child height.
The mindfulness room. For the days when it's all a bit much.
