Grand Opening 3/20!

We are thrilled to announce that our beloved Little Gem will soon be transformed into a fantastic new café! March 20th, we will be opening Playgrounds Café, a place designed to delight both children and adults.

Inspired by the concept of healthy, imaginative food, Playgrounds Café will offer a variety of delicious and wholesome choices for the entire family. Our menu will cater to picky eaters, as well as those with allergies and other dietary challenges. Grown-ups will be treated to an equally tempting menu that includes specialty coffee drinks and other grown-up delights, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Just like the museum itself, Playgrounds Café will focus on empowering children to make their own choices. We are committed to clean ingredient guidelines and will feature organic and sustainable foods wherever possible. We can't wait to share this new and exciting space with you!
