Created by moms, for Ann Arbor families.
Hide and Seek was created by moms to bring a calm, sensory-friendly, inclusive community space to Ann Arbor-area families with children 0–6.
We provide a clean, safe, developmentally appropriate indoor play space built around imaginative, Montessori-inspired play, and a café side where caregivers can relax within view of their kids. The café counter serves coffee, smoothies, muffins and kids' snacks. We're not just a play café: we also host special events, classes, birthday parties and photography sessions.
The little things that make a morning out easier.
