About the Venue

The Treehouse: Retail & Play Space blends an indoor play area with a family retail concept in south Champaign. It is aimed squarely at the 1-to-8 crowd, with a calmer community feel than a giant play center and a mix of imaginative, sensory, climbing, and bounce-style play. Parents who like smaller-scale open play, flexible stay-as-long-as-you-like pricing, and birthday options that feel manageable will find it especially appealing.
