What is Unpluggits Playstudio?
Unpluggits Playstudio was started as a place where children and parents could have it all – a place to work on arts and crafts, and to play and unwind after. Unpluggits offers over 3,000 square feet devoted solely to crafts and creative activities and over 2,000 square feet to our play area. We give our customers all-day access to painting, play-dough sculpting, magnet wall and more.
For an additional cost, Unpluggits also offers a variety of crafts which can be painted and taken home the same day. Children can choose from an assortment of ceramics, including banks in the shape of robots, frogs, cupcakes and more, or they can take advantage of Unpluggits’ collection of wooden items, toys, picture frames, or wiggly toys.
Once the little artiste is satisfied, they can get down to the business of playing on the two-story play indoor playground. This area includes a giant pirate ship, slides, tunnels, air hockey, foosball, an area to play dress-up, and a toddler area with only 2 and under allowed.
You can monitor your child’s fun from either their side or from a work counter that faces the playground. Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a guardian. For the the busy mom and dad, Unpluggits offers free wifi.

The Story
A full-time working mom wanted a place to “chill out” with my kids. They frequented the local parks, art festivals, children's museums and but wished they could enjoy this type of experience more often. They also frequented amusement parks, movies and arcades. But sometimes felt these were the only options besides movies and video games.
One day this mom had a brilliant idea that her and her 3-year old son would paint a coffee mug together at a ceramic studio. It would be this incredible bonding experience for them. Three to four swipes of paint and the little artist was done. While she tried her best to hurry out of there, he proceeded to run circles around the studio and crawl under the tables while she endured glares from the shop employees and other customers.
I doubt anyone would ever classify her as a tiger mom. But she felt guilty about how much she and her kids watched TV and played video games. It's important for kids to have time for some unstructured activities and play time to figure out who they are and how to get along with others.
She tells people this business was her mid-life crisis. Instead of buying that brand new Sky Blue Thunderbird convertible and heading to the California coast to learn how to make wine, she started Unpluggits Paint & Play. She wanted an inviting place to create with the whole family in mind. She designed it with windows into the playground and low shelving so parents could easily spot their kids while in the studio. This way if mom wants to paint a coffee cup while her rowdy son plays, she can!
