Adults and children alike remove their shoes before entering Toddle Town & More, a clean, air-conditioned play place for tykes aged 6 and younger. Divas-in-training might sport dress-up clothes before modeling styles for an audience of plush dolls and shadow puppets of Coco Chanel, a make-believe runway worthy of a few flashbulbs. Building blocks allow budding architects to try out their designs, share materials, and practice collaborating with peers. Explorers venture through the little village or settle into playhouses, whipping up pretend meals or painstakingly caulking windows to prevent imaginary drafts.

As tots play, parents can watch from nearby or kick back to soak in the view from wall-mounted mirrors, confident that their kids are in plain view. Though parents can bring snacks for themselves, peanut ingredients are forbidden in order to maintain an allergy-free environment and to prevent circus elephants from crashing the party. Though not included with this Groupon, Toddle Town & More also offers memberships, along with art and music classes.
