Sensory help, in Hunny's words

“Lower lights, calm/low music, and no extra noise for a calmer play environment.”

“Walk-ins are always welcome. Reserving ahead is optional, but if we reach capacity for a time slot, we can only welcome families who booked online.”

“Socks are required for all children and adults entering play areas.”

“Kid snacks are okay. Please avoid full meals or strong-smelling foods.”

  • The Sensory Friendly Afternoon is every Thursday from 1 to 4 pm, inside regular open play hours: reserve an afternoon open play time online, or walk in.
  • Hunny's lists Bubble Dance Parties every day at 11 am and 1 pm, so one may land at the start of the Thursday afternoon.
  • Hunny's grippy socks are for sale, and shoe covers are there for grown-ups.
