Where kids grow freely and families connect.

Little Grove is where kids get absorbed in open-ended play — and caregivers get to be present without running the show. An indoor + outdoor play center and coffee bar in Erie, Colorado.

Erie, Colorado 1,740 sq ft Indoor 2,000 sq ft Outdoor Ages 0–7
Kelsey Fromal, Founder
"Erie's outdoor amenities are incredible — but I was driving outside Erie multiple times a week for indoor play. I always thought someone should build one here, and then I realized I am someone. I decided to build it here, for our family and yours."

Our Philosophy

Give kids a place to lead. Give yourself permission to just watch.

Real things. Real mess. Real growth.

Mud kitchens, digging patches, water play, loose natural materials. The kind of play that looks unstructured but is actually where the deepest learning happens. We lean into the mess on purpose.

Your people are here too.

Comfortable seating, great coffee, and a room full of families in the same stage of life. Little Grove is as much for you as it is for your kids.

Something new every visit.

Rotating themed programming means no two months are the same. From Dino Digs to Winter Wonderland, there's always a reason to come back — and kids always have something to look forward to.

Rooted in Erie

Our coffee comes from a local Colorado roaster. Our programming features Erie educators. Every dollar spent here is designed to stay in our community.

The Space

Inside and out—one continuous playground.

1,740 sq ft indoors opens straight into 2,000 sq ft outdoors, so the day never stops when the weather flips. Think climbing and coffee on a snow day, mud kitchens and turf sprints when the sun is out—same visit, same ticket, same community.

Little Grove is designed for children from birth through age 7. We have a dedicated baby space for infants and younger toddlers, a sensory section, Kids City for imaginative play, and a rock climbing wall and play structure for older kids. Adults always get in free.

Drop-in play is walk-up friendly — no reservation required. Just show up. Birthday parties require booking in advance. Members get priority registration for workshops and events.

Your $20 goes toward your first month's membership. You'll get exclusive sneak peeks of the space as we build it. Your membership converts on grand opening day — and you can request a full refund anytime before the month we open, no questions asked.

We have three tiers based on family size — all include unlimited drop-in visits:

🌱 Seedling — 1 child (12 mo+) · $75/mo (founding members from $64/mo)
🌿 Sapling — 2 children · $110/mo (founding members from $94/mo)
🌳 Grove — 3+ children · $135/mo (founding members from $115/mo)

All memberships are month-to-month with no contracts. Cancel anytime.

We offer two party packages, each starting from the listed price with add-ons available:

🌱 Seedling — starting from $400 · 90 minutes · Semi-private party room · 10 children included · Your choice of indoor or outdoor play · Up to 25 total attendees · 15 min setup + 15 min cleanup included

🌳 Full Grove Buyout — starting from $750 · 2 hours · Fully private — no other guests · 15 children included · All indoor + 2,000 sq ft outdoor · Up to 45 total attendees · 15 min setup + 15 min cleanup included

Drop-in is $25 for the first child, $15 for each sibling. Children under 1 year are free when visiting with an older sibling, or $10 for a solo infant visit. Adults and caregivers always get in free — no exceptions. A 10-visit punch pass for ages 1+ is $175 — each punch covers one child per visit, valid for one year from purchase. We also offer a 10-visit infant pass for babies under 12 months at $80, also valid for one year.

The outdoor spaces are fully programmed and open from spring through fall. In colder Colorado months, we'll have modified outdoor access when weather allows. The full indoor space — including the play structure, climbing wall, sensory section, and Kids City — is always open regardless of weather.

Yes — we actively want to partner with Erie community organizations, playgroups, homeschool co-ops, and local businesses. Reach out at hello@littlegroveErie.com to tell us about your idea.

Community

Little Grove is Erie's third place.

Not a chain. Not a franchise. A neighborhood spot built with and for the families of Erie — and shaped by them every day it's open.

What We Stand For

Community is the whole point.

Erie doesn't need another play space. It needs a third place — somewhere between home and school where families connect, children build friendships, and caregivers find their people.

01

Radical Welcome

Little Grove is for every family in Erie. Adults always get in free. We'll never turn a family away for inability to pay during our community hours.

02

Play Is the Work

We trust that genuine, unstructured play is the most valuable thing a child can do. Our spaces are built to maximize it, not manage it.

03

Local First

Our coffee comes from a Colorado roaster. Our workshops feature Erie-based educators and local talent. Every dollar at Little Grove is designed to stay in our community.

04

Slow Down Together

No schedule to get through. No timer. Little Grove is one of the few places where lingering is the whole point — for kids and the adults with them.

Community Partnerships

Reach Erie's families where they gather.

Little Grove members are Erie parents with children ages 0–7 — a highly engaged, family-first demographic that makes purchasing decisions based on community trust and peer recommendations. A partnership puts your business where the recommendation happens.
