Apple Seeds

Your seedling will blossom at this Chelsea play space, which includes a 2,500-square-foot indoor playground featuring a soft-play climbing area, a shape-sorter garden, a sports section and nine permanent exhibits that mimic the Big Apple. Your child can ring up friends at the New York-style deli filled with fake organic food and flowers, or design her own skyscraper out of colorful geometric shapes. The space also contains a boutique, a combined bookstore and reading room, a café, a birthday room and a hair salon (a haircut for your child will set you back $32). Classrooms at the facility offer lessons in music, art, cooking, science, yoga, dance, sports and Spanish in 16-week sessions. A Red Apple Seeds membership ($945) grants you unlimited access to the cheery playgrounds and a 10% discount on classes, camps, haircuts, events and purchases at the boutique and café. Ages newborn to 5 years.
