About the Venue

Little Village in East Walnut Hills is a free stay-and-play location for families with children from birth to 5. The program centers on early-learning play rather than big structures, with areas for art, science, movement, dramatic play, reading, and infants, and families can come during posted open-play hours without reservations. It is a helpful resource for caregivers who want no-cost indoor play and community connection in a younger-kid setting.
