  • Think of Oaky’s Playgrove as an indoor sanctuary for childhood wonder. It’s a space designed for children to find their own footing through discovery-based play. While the environment is scaffolded by our 5 Roots philosophy to ensure it’s safe and developmental, the journey belongs entirely to the child. We provide the forest; they provide the adventure.

  • This is our version of open play, but with a Village touch. It’s a time for children to navigate the Playgrove at their own pace; imagining, building, and moving through our soft-sculpted landscapes. Our staff, Forest Friends, are always nearby to support the environment and help maintain a calm, welcoming flow, but the play itself is child-led and limitless.

  • We believe birthdays are big milestones! Your group gets a reserved private suite as a home base for your event. During your time here, your guests can explore the shared magic of the Playgrove at their leisure. We simply help manage the flow so your celebration feels intimate and stress-free.

  • No, Oaky’s Playgrove is a caregiver-attended environment. We believe the most meaningful growth happens when families find their footing together. While our space is designed to let children lead their own adventure and build independence, parents and caregivers remain on-site to witness the magic, offer a calm canopy of support, and connect with other members of the Village.

  • We treat our space like a living forest that needs to be refreshed. Between every session, our team performs a reset. We hand-wipe all high-touch surfaces using child-safe, non-toxic cleaners. We also utilize a fine-mist sanitization system in our off hours to ensure that every corner of the Playgrove is fresh and ready for the next group of explorers.

  • We encourage children to explore with all their senses! If a toy has been well-loved or tasted, simply place it in one of our "Tasted Toy Bins" located throughout the Grove. We collect these bins every two hours to deep-clean and sanitize the toys before they return to the floor.

  • Our facility is built on a safety-first foundation. We use professional-grade, impact-absorbing floors and soft-sculpted equipment designed specifically for little ones. To keep our floors clean for our smallest crawlers and walkers, we are a strictly socks-only space, and we require grip-socks for all children to ensure steady footing.

  • Wellness starts at the ground level. To keep our forest floor pristine for our smallest explorers, many of whom are still crawling and discovering the world with their hands, we transition to a shoe-free space before entering the Playgrove. This shoe-free model helps us keep outside allergens, dirt, and germs out of our play areas, ensuring a healthy environment for everyone.

  • Yes. To maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety, we require socks for all guests (children and adults) within the Grove.

    • For Children: We require grip-socks to help them find their footing. These provide the necessary traction for navigating our soft-sculpted landscapes and safely navigating without slipping.

    • For Adults: Any comfortable socks will do!

    If you forget socks, don't worry! We have custom branded grip-socks available for purchase at the front desk so your little one can jump straight into the adventure.
