It’s definitely a cute place that I appreciate! However, i took my 3 year old and of course, also brought along my 5 month old baby who literally does nothing but sit in her seat and I was charged for her being there. Not too happy about that. Just wish I knew why.

My 3yo loves it here! She has been talking about it and asking to return almost every day. I am so happy to have this space nearby!

There are little trays set up all over with different activities so the kids can play quite independently. During weekdays it’s not too busy so it felt relaxing and quiet.
The space is adorable and it’s the perfect outing for a little one, especially during the winter!

A traveling parent's dream!

The perfect pit-stop for traveling parents with little ones who need to get their wiggles out. Staff members are so welcoming and knowledgeable about the activities/toys they have available for every age. And the complimentary coffee! Amazing.

I have an 8 month old and I am in that awkward space where I want to get out and do things with her, but it's hard to find a place where we can both have a good time, especially when the weather isn't great. Joujou is the answer. It's such a welcoming environment and absolutely perfect for both littles under one and toddlers. We had an amazing time, and I cannot wait to make going here part of our routine. I cannot stress enough - if you have a little anywhere from a few months to a few years, this place is an absolute must-go!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my daughter's first birthday at Joujou, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I made the booking, I was impressed by the level of service I received. The payment process was straightforward and convenient; I was only required to pay a deposit of half the fee upfront, with the remainder due before the party. This flexible payment arrangement made everything more manageable for me as a parent.

In the weeks leading up to the party, I received a comprehensive email containing all the necessary information for organizing an event at Joujou. This thoughtful gesture was immensely helpful and eased any pre-party jitters I had. On the big day, Amanda, one of the owners, was personally present to oversee the entire event. She took the time to understand my vision for the party and immediately jumped in to help with the setup. The amenities provided by Joujou, including plates, cutlery, napkins, and various other essentials, made the party planning process significantly less stressful.

Amanda not only assisted with the setup but also went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly during the event. From greeting guests to keeping the party area tidy and ensuring the food and drink stations were well-stocked, Amanda's attention to detail was remarkable. She even took the initiative to keep track of all the gifts my daughter received, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration.

After the party concluded, Amanda continued to impress. She assisted with the cleanup and thoughtfully packaged any leftover food items for us to take home. It's been a month since the party, and I'm still receiving compliments about what a fantastic experience it was. My daughter's joy on her special day was made possible by the exceptional team at Joujou, particularly Amanda and Jenny. Their dedication to creating a delightful and stress-free environment for families is truly commendable.

If you're considering hosting a party at Joujou or have yet to visit, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Amanda and Jenny have created a one-of-a-kind space where children can have an incredible time. Thank you, Amanda and Jenny, for making my daughter's birthday unforgettable!

Visiting from out of state and absolutely love this place! My 20 month old could play all day here if I let him, it’s the longest he’s ever played anywhere and was so sad when we had to leave. My 8 week old also was able to play and was content the entire time we were there (normally he’s crying if not held and he was so happy laying and playing in the smaller baby area). We can’t wait to come back during our stay and all our future visits. Thank you for being part of our village when we are away from home

We absolutely love Jou Jou. From the beautiful & thoughtful Montessori design of the space, the fine & gross motor toys & activities, & the owners are so kind & welcoming. Our two year old has been playing here since he was one & we recently celebrated his second birthday here as well which was an amazing party thanks to the staff. Jou Jou is simply the best play space in the metro!
