RECESS!
An Interactive Playground for Adults


Just like when we were in grade-school, recess was about fun and socializing.
We're creating a playground atmosphere in our 14,000 Sq. Ft. space.

Anything artists can think of or want to do.
RECESS is a time for play.

Interactive Attractions:

A Treehouse, Skee-Ball, Video games, Cargo climbing nets, multi-level slot-car racing, Swings, Slide, Giant Twister & Jenga, Entrance maze, Paintball shooting gallery, Basketball, Graffiti wall, Four-Square, Hopscotch, Frisbee,
and much much more!

PLUS

A massive Half-Pipe for skateboarders!




RECESS begins Friday September 8th and continues through Saturday October 7th.
