Play & Childcare

A place where the kids get to be the loud ones.

Open Play is our indoor play village in downtown Calistoga — climbing, pretend shops, kinetic sand, a baby-safe corner — with a tasting bar ten steps away. Come for an hour, stay for the afternoon, and leave with everyone's needs actually met.

Open daily 10am – 6pm · Tuesday 10am – 4:30pm · Closed Wednesday

Children playing in the indoor play village at The Village Calistoga

What's inside

The play village

A little town to run: market stall, kitchen, climbing structure, reading nook. Built for ages 0–8, with a soft, gated area for babies and new walkers.

Sensory stations

Kinetic sand, water table, light table and pourables, rotated so it never feels like the same visit twice.

Saturday Drop-In Childcare

Saturdays 1–5pm, ages 10 months–13 years. Leave them with our team and go taste, nap, hike, or answer email in peace.

Sensory Sessions

OT-informed hours at 11am and 3pm on Mondays and Fridays for babies and toddlers, focused on regulation and fine motor play.

Wine for the grown-ups

Kintsugi flights and glasses poured at the bar beside the play space — so nobody has to choose between Napa and naptime.

Snacks and reality

Coffee, snacks, changing tables, a place to warm a bottle, and staff who have all been the parent standing there sweating.

Need a few hours to run errands, enjoy lunch, get some work done, go wine tasting, or simply have a little time to yourself?

Drop-in childcare is available Saturdays from 1–5 PM at The Village. Children can stay for up to four hours in our supervised play space while grown-ups step out and enjoy a little uninterrupted time.
