Play Lab Yakima

Our Mission

Bringing families together through meaningful play to build a stronger and happier Yakima for all.

Hello! This dream started after talking to parents and other docs who also feel strongly that play is essential. We want accessible free play spaces for our children and community. Come and join us and help us build Yakima's first all free children's museum.

Our Three-Phase Plan

Phase 1 — Spreading Meaningful Play

Pop-up Play Labs across the Yakima Valley, mini-museum experiences, and hands-on activities that teach meaningful, child-led play. Online and in-person content for caregivers.

Upcoming Event: August 27th Downtown Summer Nights

Phase 2 — Temporary Children’s Museum

A small, walkable, bus-line accessible brick-and-mortar space with rotating exhibits and free museum experiences for families.

Do you have a space in your business you are willing to donate? Do you have rental property that would be a good fit? Call or text us with your ideas

Phase 3 — Full-Scale Museum & Community Hub

A large, collaborative children’s museum designed with community partners, offering meeting space, relationship-building programs, and play-centered learning.

Help Us reach our goal. https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/WSDS8EQUPJCYG
