About the Venue

Whirlygig is a more boutique indoor play space than a giant playground, mixing open play, crafts, camps, and private events in a 4,500-square-foot San Jose studio. It is designed for younger kids and families who like a more neighborhood, community-feeling play date. Visits work best when you are happy planning around its posted open-play windows rather than expecting long daily drop-in hours.
