GREAT PLAY, Stamford

The buzz among area preschoolers is that Great Play on the Stamford/Greenwich line is the hot new place for birthday parties. At least that's what I hear from my sources out in the field. My daughter is still too young to be invited to such exciting events so I rely on my mommy friends who are deeply entrenched in the birthday party scene to provide me with this information.

Great Play is actually a gym that offers parent/baby and K-5 classes, basketball clinics and an Interactive Arena, described on their website as a room where "...half a dozen computers control eight projectors, a directional sound system, and over a dozen sensing systems to bring the 3000 sq. ft. space to life." In this room, kids are encouraged to get moving while interacting with the company mascot, Buddy (above left) who apparently is quite popular with the kids.

Great Play's website is full of information about class schedules, birthday parties, membership, the philosophy behind this innovative new concept in fitness and upcoming events, including their Vacation Play Camp (December 26 - 28). Sign up early to secure your child's space!
