Getting ready forthe Plymouth Community Center Sensory Room and K.U.B.E.
A City of Plymouth community center that is KultureCity Sensory Inclusive certified, with a Sensory Room on the first floor (ask staff for a key card), sensory bags with noise-canceling headphones at the front desk or indoor playground, and the K.U.B.E. indoor playground for kids ages 2 to 12. Low-Stim Sundays reserve the K.U.B.E. for kids with sensory needs, at no cost; register ahead.
K.U.B.E. indoor playground: Monday to Friday 9 am to 8 pm, Saturday 9 am to 7 pm, Sunday 11 am to 5 pm. The building opens Monday to Friday at 7 am (its weekday closing time is listed as both 9 pm and 10 pm) and Saturday and Sunday 8 am to 8 pm. Hours are subject to change, so call 763-509-5200 if you're planning a late visit.
“A space for guests who feel overstimulated, the sensory room offers a quieter environment to recharge, complete with calming amenities, such as lights, colors, activity panels, soft sensory objects, a tactile art installation, weighted lap pad and more.”
“Visitors looking to use the sensory room must check out a key card from a Community Center staff member.”
“Guests may check out a sensory bag from staff at the front desk or indoor playground.”
“It is not a requirement for your child to be quiet or still” “loud voices, fast feet, and big feelings are all welcome here.” mnplymouthweb.myvscloud.com
The sensory bags hold noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools and verbal cue cards, and they're for any visit, not only the sensory events.
The City calls these evenings Sensory-Friendly Sundays at the KUBE, and the booking site lists them as Low-Stim Sunday. Register through the City's ticket link for each date below.
The free KultureCity App doubles as the center's social story, with photos of what guests may experience.
The Plymouth Community Center is KultureCity Sensory Inclusive certified; the City says it was the first community center in Minnesota to be certified.
The Sensory Room is on the first floor near the Event Wing doors and Fieldhouse entrance; check out a key card from a staff member to use it.
Sensory bags with noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools and verbal cue cards are at the front desk or the indoor playground.
