About the Venue

Carlson Center Playzone is a simple indoor play area inside the Carlson Center built for younger kids who want room to climb, tumble, and move around without committing to a long structured class. The setup includes kids' carts, tunnels, foam blocks, slides, and tumbling mats, making it a practical low-cost option for babies through early elementary ages. Caregivers stay with children throughout the visit, and the borough also offers birthday-party add-ons tied to Carlson Center party packages.
