What is a Playseum? I want to know.

We are a children's used bookstore in the design of a city, with hands-on fun! We want to bring family and community together under one roof in a great atmosphere, so parents and children can come in feeling good and leave feeling great! The playseum is set up like a mini-city where your child can roam from one "city-shop" storefront to the next. Kids are encouraged to explore, play and use their imaginations. The Playseum also offers several other activities....be sure to check out our photo gallery!!!

**Our DC Location will be closed all day Monday, January 30th for updating of our forest trees and our Lavagna Restaurant **

Our Cityshops!

CityShops are so much fun and set up to expand your child's imagination. Your child can make a pretend pizza, shop for groceries, or pet an animal at the pet shop...there is so much to see. We've just named a few.

Our Bookstore!

Each CityShop has several books that are related to that room. For example, you might find a children's cookbook in our bakery or a "Fancy Nancy" book in our beauty salon. Every book you see is available for purchase or you can just enjoy reading them to your child during your visit.

Story Time!

Our ONE scheduled event each day is our story time. Story times run for about 15 minutes each Monday - Friday at 11am on Saturdays 11am, 2pm and 5pm and on Sundays at 2pm and 5pm.

There is more fun!!!

You may want to purchase playseum money to do some of our "above and beyond" activities to enjoy more interactive fun with your child!
You can: create something new in the art room, paint a ceramic, make your own chapstick, have your nails painted, make homemade pasta (DC location only), toothpaste (Bethesda location only) whip up a strawberry smoothie or decorate a cupcake with yummy toppings, and so much more!

You Must Know!

Admission is $6.00 per person- siblings under 10 months are free. The playseum can be enjoyed by all, but targeted to kids 1yrs old to 11yrs old.

The best part? You do not need to call ahead, no resevations needed nor memberships. Come in on your own time and spend as long as you would like. Your admission covers the whole day and with a wristband you can go out for lunch and come back in on the same day.
