A creative community hub for makers, dreamers, and families of all ages, where imagination, play, and innovation come to life.
Equal parts board game café, LEGO-building lounge, and STEM/STEAM makerspace, MindForge sparks connection, creativity, and lifelong curiosity through hands-on learning and play.
Why the name: Mind /mīnd/ — the seat of curiosity, creativity, and imagination. Forge /fôrj/ — a workshop of transformation, connection, and growth. Play /plā/ — to wonder, laugh, build, challenge, explore, and celebrate. Together, MindForge Play Studio is a modern workshop of joyful discovery—where minds are sparked, ideas are built, and play becomes the pathway to learning.

MindForge Play Studio is more than a place to play — it’s a space to connect, imagine, and grow. Built for curious minds of all ages, we blend hands-on creativity with screen-free enrichment through board games, LEGO®, STEM activities, and immersive social experiences. Whether you're here for a family game night, a creative class, or a themed party, you'll find a welcoming environment where play meets purpose.

As a homeschool parent and lifelong learner, our founder dreamed of a place where families could unplug, create, and learn together. Inspired by the idea that play is the forge of the mind, MindForge was born to fill a gap in our community — a hybrid studio that sparks curiosity, connection, and confidence in kids, teens, and adults alike.
From STEM labs and birthday parties to sensory-safe spaces and strategy nights, everything we offer is designed to be imaginative, inclusive, and ESA-friendly.

To empower families through hands-on, meaningful play and learning experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, and connection — one creative session at a time.

Play with Purpose – We believe the best learning happens through play.
Connection Matters – Whether it’s families, friends, or new faces, we build community through shared experiences.
Creativity First – Imagination is at the heart of everything we do.
All Are Welcome – Our studio is designed to be inclusive, sensory-aware, and accessible for every learner and guest.
Lifelong Learning – From toddlers discovering their world to teens exploring new passions, and from parents to grandparents continuing to grow — we create space for curiosity, discovery, and joyful learning at every age and stage.

We’re a team of educators, creatives, and parents who believe in meaningful play, inclusive environments, and high-quality experiences.
Each member of our staff is background-checked, safety-trained, and passionate about empowering learners of all kinds.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
