Having children is one of life’s greatest privileges, but it’s not easy… especially in Manhattan. Let’s just say what every parent is thinking: Between rising care costs, inconvenient transportation and keeping a schedule amidst the hustle and bustle, doing it all is a struggle. It takes a village, and if you’re lucky, that village may just be in your neighborhood. Enter Kidville.
In case you’re not familiar with Kidville, prepare to meet your family’s new happy place. With locations around the globe, we’re here to highlight the particularly special Upper West Side branch (located at 205 West 88th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam).
Typically, a different activity requires a different venue, but this handy hack is a one-stop shop for busy parents on the go. Think award-winning classes, a dynamic indoor play space, iconic birthday parties, summer camp, a preschool alternative program and even a children’s barber! The best part? Everything is under one roof — so you can save time, energy and deal with less people. As New Yorkers, we consider that a major win.
But all jokes aside, Kidville is a remarkable operation. If ecstatic customer testimonials are anything to go by, they surely succeeded (check out this adorable love letter to Kidville here). At the moment, there are two especially exciting offerings on the Kidville calendar — and there are even enticing exclusive promotions to go along with ‘em!
