About the Venue

MY Play Café in Gardner blends a small-kid indoor playground with the comforts of a neighborhood coffee spot. It is designed primarily for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, with open play, memberships, special events, and private birthday parties built around that age range. Families who prefer a calmer, parent-friendly setting over a giant climbing park will likely find this one a better match.
