Due to circumstances beyond our control, Present Place will be closing its doors to the public on June 30th. We have had an incredible 6 year ride as Chicago’s Favorite Indoor Play Space. We have loved watching your families grow up and grow in number. We’ve seen first steps, heard first words, and celebrated firsts in all shapes and sizes. The Present Place Team is proud of the community we’ve built together. We couldn’t have done it without your support.
Open Play will continue from 9am-1pm Monday, June 26th- Friday, June 30th. Previously scheduled birthday parties will be held through Mid-July.
Our team is looking to sell all of our inventory together in hopes that someone is able to open another indoor play space for Chicagoland families to learn and grow as they have done at Present Place. If you or someone you know is interested, please email info@presentplacechicago.
We thank you for your love all these years.
Best wishes,
The Present Place Team
