About the Venue

Goose & Giggles Play Cafe is a Dubuque play cafe built around imaginative, Montessori-inspired play for young children and their caregivers. Families can walk in or reserve play time, stay for coffee or a meal, join classes and community events, and book birthday parties in a setting that feels more like a neighborhood play lounge than a high-intensity entertainment center.
