Drop in for dramatic play with American Girl dolls, clothing, and accessories! Ages 6-12.

Drop in to our story room to play with American Girl dolls, clothing, and accessories. Your doll is welcome, but we provide extras! You are strongly encouraged to bring a clear gallon storage bag to hold your doll's clothing while they try on new outfits. No dolls or items other than your own leave our story room, and we don't want to accidentally add your items to our wardrobe!

Age 6 - 12. Grown ups are welcome with a child, but we cannot admit children younger than 6 due to the fragility of the toys. Coloring sheets will be available in our children's section for those under 6. Check out our events page for other fun play times for younger children! American Girl dolls are recommended for children 8+.
