About the Venue

The Play Hut is a Lebanon pediatric therapy and play-gym business founded by an occupational therapist and built around play-based development. Families can book two-hour open play sessions, join developmental playgroups, and host birthday parties in a space that emphasizes sensory engagement, imaginative play, and fine- and gross-motor development. It is especially appealing for parents who want a more intentional developmental lens than a standard indoor playground offers.
