About the Venue

Play Street Museum Columbia is a boutique children’s museum centered on pretend play, small-group sessions, and hands-on exploration for younger kids. Instead of warehouse-style equipment, families get a calmer mini-town environment with reservation-based playtimes, themed events, art add-ons, and private party options that suit toddlers through early elementary ages.
