Getting ready forPlay Street Museum Colorado Springs.
A small children's museum for ages 1 to 8, built around the great outdoors: a treehouse, a life-sized jeep, a lakeside cabin, a general store and a pretend fire pit. Play happens in 90-minute reserved sessions.
Know before you go. The museum doesn't list a quiet room, and its Sensory Friendly Playtime has no dates open to book. Here's what it does say about sessions, rules and the room.
Hours
90-minute sessions, Monday to Friday with some weekend times. The booking page shows each day's session times.
Sensory Friendly Playtime, a 90-minute session at $14 per child ages 1 to 8: “During this time sensory stimuli is limited so kiddos can enjoy the museum without feeling overwhelmed!” “Maximum of 12 children.” book.playstreetmuseum.com
“1.5 hour play sessions - reservations recommended (walk-ins allowed at start of each session if capacity allows).”
“We do not allow food in the play area.” “Outside drinks for children and adults are permitted and encouraged.”
“Re-admission is not permitted.”
“Parents and caregivers must stay in the play space and supervise their children at all times.” A waiver is needed for each child.
“We reserve the right to ask children that are being disruptive to leave if they are interfering with the learning & play of others.”
“If at all possible, please do not bring strollers into play street museum.”
The museum offers private playdates too. Call 719-377-9779 to ask what a private session costs for just your family.
Because there's no re-entry, a break outside ends the session. A quiet spot in the car can be the plan B.
The museum can ask a child who is disrupting others to leave. If that worries you, a private playdate means only your family is in the room.
Admission is $16 per child ages 1 to 8. Babies under 1 are free with a paying sibling. Grown-ups don't need a ticket. A 5-visit pass is $65.
Reservations are nonrefundable, but you can pass your spot to a friend; they just tell staff at check-in.
The restroom has a changing station. There is free wifi and a gift store.
Inside: a treehouse, a life-sized jeep, a lakeside cabin, a general store, a park ranger station and a pretend fire pit. The Discovery Rug theme changes every two months.
