Welcome to Bloom

Two sisters dreamed of a place where children's curiosity is taken seriously, and where their parents feel right at home too. So they built one.

Bloom is a STEM learning center designed for play. Children experiment, build and discover through hands-on activities, in a calm, light-filled space made with love and purpose. You're never far away: the café tables sit right beside the fun.

What they'll get up to

Science, tech, engineering and math, disguised as play.

Play tables with building sets and the wooden tree

Science

Sensory tables, little experiments and endless rounds of “what happens if…?”

Technology

Cause-and-effect toys and first steps in coding that show how things work.

Engineering

Tracks, ramps, blocks and our giant peg wall, for building things that roll, stack and tumble.

Math

Counting, sorting, shapes and patterns, hiding inside everyday play.

And plenty of pretend

A play kitchen, little houses and a big wooden tree to gather under. Imagination counts too.

Inside Bloom

Calm, light and full of things to try.

Before you go

Four little things for a great visit.

  1. Book ahead

    Space is limited, so every visit is reserved online. Sessions end on time, even if you arrive late.

  2. Sign the waiver

    Every guest signs our waiver before playing. You can do it online before you arrive.

  3. Socks on

    Shoes come off at the door for everyone, grown-ups included. Grip socks are best.

  4. Stay close

    Children are supervised by their adults at all times, and kindness is key.
