Run, don’t walk, to metro Detroit’s newest indoor playground. Imagination Station is now open in Garden City and is sure to keep kids (and adults) wanting to return.
If your child loves a tiny town, Imagination Station will not disappoint. Each space has been carefully decorated and accessorized to spark play and creativity. Play areas include a market, barbershop/salon, construction site, restaurant, school, Legos, playhouse, ice cream shop, veterinarian clinic, art and science space, safety center (police, fire, ambulance), reading nook, and baby area. New, as of March 30th, is the outdoor discovery trail.
Radcliff Market
Grab your shopping cart or basket and get ready to shop at the Radcliff Market. From play produce to canned goods, there’s enough food for everyone to share. Be sure to put on an apron to get the full effect of a cashier.
Safety Center
Calling all firefighters, police officers, and paramedics – the safety center needs you! Put on your uniform and get to work. Police accessories include hats, badges, vests, sunglasses, handcuffs, a car, two jail cells, and more. The fire truck has room for several firefighters to climb aboard. Meanwhile the ambulance is equip with everything a paramedic would need to help a citizen in need – bandages, thermometers, and xrays are just a few of the accessories.
Sprinkle Shack
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Put on your apron, hat, and get ready for all the sweet treats you can imagine. Scoop ice cream, serve popsicles, brew coffee, and share some cupcakes with your customers.
Paws & Claws Clinic
Pets need care too. Stop into the paws & claws clinic as a veterinarian and get ready to take care of some puppies and kitty cats. Wash them, feed them, give them a check up, and make sure they’re nice and groomed before sending them home.
Tiny Trims
Haircuts, manicures, pedicures, makeup, and more are all in store at the Tiny Trims barber shop. Kids will love pretending to run their own salon and practicing new styles – either on you or a mannequin.
Bright Minds Academy
Do you have a child that loves playing school? Take them to Imagination Station’s Bright Minds Academy section. There, they can ride on a bus, write on a white board, fill their backpacks, and do work at a desk.
Little Bites Cafe
The diner has various seating options with a large kitchen. Kids can take turns being diners or waitstaff/chefs. Plenty of pretend food, including pizza, are on the menu.
Bricktopia
If you build it, they will come. Enjoy building cities, zoos, out-of-this-world vehicles, and anything else your child can come up with.
Little Diggers Depot
Be an architect and design a building. Then get to work constructing. Don’t forget to wear a hardhat while working. You’ll also find giant Legos, tools, and a variety of vehicles to play with.
Wonderlab Workshop
For creative kids, check out the wonderlab workshop. Kids can paint, color, draw, and do other various creative activities.
Outdoor Discovery Trail
Enjoy camping and fishing at the campsite. After, make sure you take a tricycle out for a spin around the path. Don’t forget to stop at the car wash and give the bike a wipe down. On your way back to return your bike, stop at the Kiddie Kart Fuel center for a tune up. There’s also a garden – with planters, a mud kitchen, water tables, and a sand table.
