This new kid-friendly playspace coming to Dumbo sounds like a thing of dreams. It features trampolines, a massive bead pit, a Magna-Tile building zone, scarf-blowing machines, a bedazzling room and a three-level playground with slides.

When the new multisensory indoor playground opens in early September, it will be the third iteration of Space Club, joining two fellow Space Clubs in Greenpoint and Fort Greene. Find it at 256 Plymouth Street as of September 8 (Space Club members get early access starting September 1). A pass, which covers one adult and one child, costs $39 for two hours of fun.

Space Club promises that its Dumbo location will "elevate the play experience with a variety of immersive installations and family-friendly amenities." In addition to the immersive activities for climbing, jumping, bedazzling and exploring, the Dumbo venue will also feature multiple party rooms and a café. A rooftop greenhouse is set to open in 2026.

Also launching in 2026: Space Club Dumbo's after-school program, which offers structured time for homework, open play and enriching classes like arts and crafts. It's designed for kids ages Pre-K through 6th and even includes school pick-up options.

"Our mission has always been to provide 'space'—both literal and imaginative—for children to explore, express, and be free in an urban setting," Max Friedman, co-founder and president of Space Club said in a press release. "We can't wait to see these families light up as they climb, build and imagine in their new home away from home."

Space Club was designed for parents by parents. With big, open areas for exploration, kids of all ages are invited to roam, club, build and dream. Given Friedman's background in scenic design on Broadway, it's no surprise that the design of Space Club is especially dazzling—and that kids seem to love it, as you'll see in the photos below.
