Create an Inviting Space for All Ages
Stemville opened its doors in June, just six months after its inception, with a mission to create an inviting space for all ages. Moms and dads can enjoy the space too! It is equipped with large building blocks and color-coded toys to teach younger kids STEM basics, iPads, biweekly experimental robots, and more. Furthermore, 25,000 Magformers and 7,500 Clicformers – Michigan-made magnetic tiles that allow children to build anything from dinosaurs to roller coasters – are also available for creative play. Stemville is proud to be providing such an innovative and exciting atmosphere for kids of all ages.
Admission is only $20 for two hours of open play, and there are experienced instructors on hand to assist children with activities.
