About the Venue

Bee's Backyard is one of the region's most recognizable classic indoor playgrounds, built around a huge multi-level play unit, soft play elements, inflatables, and a dedicated toddler area for children 4 and under. Because it sits inside The Marketplace at Steamtown, it works well for a downtown errand-plus-play stop or a longer rainy-day outing with food available on site. Families looking for traditional indoor playground energy rather than classes or a trampoline park will find it an easy fit.
