D.I.Y. Slime
2A East Avenue, Larchmont, NY
|
D.I.Y. Slime in Larchmont is a new, one-of-a-kind experience for kids and families. It allows them to take an hour or so out of their busy lives to sit together and be creative. Where else do you get to have fun making a mess and then get to walk away and let someone else clean up?!
For those parents who may have tried to make slime with their kids but failed, D.I.Y. Slime staff takes the guesswork out it! They walk your child through each step and check in along the way to make sure everyone leaves with a "perfect slime." Also, it is very important to the owners, Stacey Sarver and Nicole Fiftal, to make it affordable to all families and so they prices start at $10 and go up from there. It also can be an "impulse activity" since there is no reservations needed during drop-in hours; just drop-in, find a seat, and enjoy some creative time with your child. This place is truly a great addition to the Lower Westchester area. |

Tig & Peach
125 Wolfs Lane, Pelham, NY

Tig & Peach believes a children’s indoor play space can be fun AND beautiful. In fact, they’ve set out to make it their mission.
This is a place where young kids can get away from the screen time as they refine their little engineering skills by rearranging wheels and tubes on our gigantic magnet wall. Or focus on fun by sliding, climbing, hiding and seeking on our custom designed playground. They’ll use their imagination as they experiment with our pivoting wind tunnel, get creative and make a mess in the art room or take in a good book inside their custom wooden tent. In addition, they have a kitchen and market place center, a tool bench with wooden tools and cars and a dress up corner in their open play space. The art room is constantly revolving each day with different arts and crafts projects. One day they’ll be painting and the next making rocket ships out of boxes. You never know what you’ll find day by day! No matter what your kids are into, they’ll find something fun and exciting at Tig & Peach. It's open Monday-Friday 9am-6pm and weekends 9am-1pm, so stop in whenever (weekend afternoons are reserved for birthday parties)! Open play at Tig & Peach is open for open play ALL DAY 7 days a week. Families and caregivers can drop in anytime for $30 (plus $20 for each additional sibling. Siblings under 9 months are FREE) and play for the entire day. If you plan on using Tig & Peach more than 4 times a month it makes sense to buy a membership which is $129 for 1 child, $209 for 2, and $299 for 3 children. They also include story time and crafting every Monday at 10:30 AM for members only, you will receive 10% off of classes as well as lots of great monthly perks and exclusive to members! If you’d like to take a class at Tig & Peach you will also receive an open play pass for the entire day of the class (if a child takes a class at 10 AM they can leave and come back at 3 PM or whenever they’d like that day). |

Zen Zone Sensory Gym is a progressively designed indoor play and learning space that inspires everybody to be truly present while having fun! Open Gym and Birthday Parties are specifically designed for children from birth to 5 years old.
Little kids can enjoy swings, a traverse rock wall, tricycle track and more all in a "zen" setting, with the comfort of soft lighting, soothing colors, gentle sounds, calming scents, and sensory-rich textures. There are three connected zones to play in: Big Zone with indoor playground equipment, Little Zone with soft play for infants and toddlers and Life Zone where kids can play dress up, drive to the store, take a walk in the park. While they do offer open gym for $20 a session (see site for additional pricing information for siblings and packs), it only accommodates 20 children at a time so it is recommended you call ahead.
