Mom owned kids indoor playground East Village NYC! The Rainbow is your village.
Created for babies and kids aged 0 months to 7 years old. We have Open Play all day, every day. Enrichment classes for the whole family. Special events such as kids night out (so that parents get some me time), supper clubs, dance parties, and non stop fun!
The Rainbow indoor playground is your home away from home. The Rainbow is designed to mirror our neighborhood. With a kid sized version of Ray’s Candy Story, Ottendorfer Library and Sunny and Annie’s Bodega kids can let their imaginations run wild while their parents connect with others in our community. Give your kids a place they’ll always be excited to visit and build those core memories they will treasure for ever!
Come play with us!

“The Rainbow is an incredible indoor play space in the East Village. My child absolutely loved climbing the playhouses, playing dress up, reading books & exploring the different rooms. As a parent, I was impressed by the amount of thought and creativity that was put into creating this space for kids. It's also owned and operated by an East Village mom, Mimi who uses the neighborhood as inspiration. Highly recommend (it's a great space to rent out for birthday parties too!)”

“We hosted our son’s first birthday party at The Rainbow Play Space, and it was absolutely perfect. Mimi made the entire planning process incredibly easy and truly took the stress out of everything. They take care of everything from decorations to food!”

“This is the best place in the East Village for toddlers. My son absolutely loved exploring the climbing structures and playing with all of the different Montessori type toys. The other families and children were very welcoming and this play space really felt like a community gem. Easiest place to watch my son because he is so engaged and happy. I highly recommend. ❤️❤️❤️”

Pledge to be inclusive
The East Village community is a melting pot of cultures, interests and abilities. Vowing to be inclusive, The Rainbow is committed to being a safe and welcoming space for all children. We hope to break down barriers to social interaction and instead foster communication and relationship-building within our community.
Families will have the option to come for open play, themed experiences or special events. The Rainbow will offer memberships, discount class packs, and single entries for those not ready to commit. There is an option for everyone!
Commitment to the environment
At The Rainbow, we vow to be ecologically responsible. We’ve designed our facility to be low-impact by choosing sustainable, eco-friendly materials to minimize waste. Just as each of our community members is an irreplaceable individual, we recognize the irreplaceability of the gorgeous Earth that we call home.
