General
-
We’re designed with ages 1–6 in mind, but some gentle players may enjoy it even longer. Babies under 6 months are free if they’re accompanying a sibling.
Wonder Village is a Montessori-inspired indoor play space in Austintown, just minutes from Canfield, Boardman, and the greater Youngstown area.
-
Nope—Wonder Village is a shared experience. Grown-ups stay and play (or relax close by). For a little help during playtime, ask us about our Wonder Guides! (Wonder Guides coming soon)
-
Absolutely. Our space was thoughtfully created for little ones—with open visibility, gentle materials, and carefully curated play stations.
-
If all the children visiting are siblings, you’ll never pay more than the posted family max price—no matter how many kids you bring!
Open Play
-
Yes! You’re welcome to play alongside them or sit back and let them explore while you recharge nearby.
-
○Yes—for adults only. We just ask that you keep it out of little hands and help us keep the space tidy.
-
Yes—but food must be enjoyed in Nunnie’s Nook only. No food is allowed on the play floor or in classrooms.
Classes
-
Because our classes run once a week, we’re currently unable to offer make-up sessions. As our schedule grows, we hope to offer more flexibility in the future.
-
We ask that only the registered child attend class to help keep the environment calm and focused. If you have a baby in tow, reach out—we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Parties
-
If you’ve booked a Village Celebration or The Signature Celebration, decorations are included by That Balloon Girl and vendor swaps aren’t permitted.
If you’ve booked a Wonder Party, you’re welcome to bring your own simple decor—just no glitter, confetti, or anything difficult to clean up.
-
Each party comes with 30 minutes of setup time. For Village Celebration and Deluxe packages, setup is included—just show up and enjoy! If no party is scheduled before yours, we may allow extra time (to be discussed during booking).
-
For the play floor, we ask that all toys and materials be picked up and placed into any bin within one hour of your party ending.
For the event room, please remove all personal items and clear the room within 30 minutes. We’ll handle the rest!
-
Absolutely not. Anyone can book a birthday party at Wonder Village! We’re proud to be a top-rated birthday party venue for young children in Austintown and the surrounding area.
