Fresh: A Place to Play

Think you’ve exhausted every possible play date? Think again: Growth Spurts is a new locally owned family cafe and indoor play space for children up to age 6.

The fun for little ones includes a crooked house and slide, a large-scale block building area, a doll nursery, a reading nook, a play kitchen and a train table, among other things. “It’s the play date you always want to have but never want to host,” says founders and sisters Ellen Darnieder and Devin McCue.
