In the case of inclement weather, if Springfield Public School is cancelled, we will be closed in the morning and will make an announcement on our Facebook page about whether or not we will be able to open in the afternoon.
- Why do I have to sign a waiver for my kids?
- Because our insurance company says so. Visiting Itty Bitty City is no more dangerous than visiting a park to play (probably less dangerous, actually), but our accident insurance policy requires that all visitors have a waiver on file. We strongly recommend filling out the waiver here on our website prior to your visit.
- How do you keep the City clean?
- Our exhibits and structures are cleaned and sanitized on a continual basis using cleaners that are kid and earth friendly. We have “yuck buckets” placed throughout the center to collect toys and other items that get into kids’ mouths or other germy places. Items from our yuck buckets are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before being returned to the play areas.
- Do you have security in place?
- To keep our visitors safe we require all children to be accompanied by an adult at all times. We do not admit adults without a child present. We also monitor the exit of the play area, but it is ultimately the adult's responsibility to watch over their children. Our Playologists monitor our play areas to make sure that visitors stay safe.
- Can I have my child’s birthday party here?
- Yes. We offer two birthday party package options with several features that can be added à la carte.
