What is the Playseum?

A Place all Ages can Enjoy!

The Playseum is an indoor play venue designed for busy parents and grandparents to slow down and make memories with their children or grandchildren through quality time and quality play.

Sometimes its really nice to put the screens away, set the phone down and watch the wonder and curiosity in your little one's eyes.  

A Place to Connect!

With over 20 thematic and interactive play areas we call "Cityshops," the Playseum offers a supportive and innovative play space where your child's imagination can thrive, making education and creativity fun for both child and parent.

We offer story times daily (all locations) and interactions with live animals in the Maryland locations.

A Place to Make Memories!

Add to the experience through our pretend economy; Playseum Dollars are available for purchase and lets your child choose where and what they want to "spend" their dollars on.

They can use the dollars to mix up something fun at the Soap & Science Bars, paint together in the Art Shop, decorate a sweet treat in the Bake Shop, or purchase a children's book or toy in the Toy Shop.

A Few Words About Us

Meet the owner, Ms. Gina!
I'm a wife, mother of four, and grandmother of one who deeply cares about people, and if you look around I'm sure you'll notice my love for stories, music, yummy treats, antiques, friendly animals, and all things crafty and creative too! In 2006, I was filled with a dream to create an environment that would save the imaginations of children while giving parents an opportunity to answer the cry of every child's heart, just to be with them.
The Playseum reaches beyond our local children here in the USA, our mission is to help children across the globe as well. When you come in to play, the funds support children far away!

What Parents Say

Don’t just take our word for it! Hear from parents that have spent a day at the Playseum creating special memories together!
I loved decorating cookies with my sons! Oh, and the camping area was a hit. We pretended we were fishing up at the lake!
Mark Richardson
Dad of 3 Boys
We could spend all day here, the boys never want to go home! There is so much to keep them busy!
Sara Kim
Mom of 2 Boys
Creativity spills into every inch of this place! I've never seen anything like it. It has a very friendly family vibe and great staff that are always very helpful.
Emily Nguyen
Mom of Girl
“More than just a museum for children, the Playseum encourages children and their caregivers to play together while seeing, touching, hearing, smelling and tasting.”
Washington Parent

“These concepts blur the line between play, discovery, and commerce, as well as resetting the stage from one of passive storing, to active exploring. Such concepts should help malls and centers as they transition from what was to what will be.”
Forbes
Magazine
"The Be With Me Children's Playseum offers that chance to be a kid again and unplug from the world in order to focus on family."
