Join us at Recess for a Tiny Town Explorers event. Recess is advertised as a 3rd space for parents. They offer drinks, lite bites, and a play place for children. I've never been and I'm excited to check it out! Per the website, kids over 1 are $10 for an hour of play, while under 1 is free. Per usual, I'll have a Tiny Town Explorers sign on my diaper bag or you can keep an eye out for me and my daughter near the toys.
