Cardboard City!

Cardboard City

Welcome to Cardboard City — a magical makerspace where imagination runs wild and ordinary cardboard becomes extraordinary creations!

Stay and play from 10am-12:30pm Thursday June 4th-July 23rd! This is not a drop off option - great for kids 4 and up! $15 per child! All of the cardboard, tape, chomp saws and whatever else you need to make your dreams come true!  

Here, kids step into a hands-on wonderland dedicated to building, inventing, and bringing big ideas to life using one of the most versatile materials on Earth: cardboard. Armed with safe, kid-friendly chomp saws, hot glue guns, markers, and endless supplies of cardboard boxes, children design and construct everything from towering castles and functioning robots to mini cities, wearable inventions, and wild contraptions.

At Cardboard City, kids don’t just follow instructions — they create and invent. They sketch their ideas, measure and cut with real tools (under caring guidance), engineer structures that stand tall, and solve problems when things inevitably wobble or collapse. Every build teaches creativity, persistence, spatial reasoning, and the joy of turning “trash” into treasure.

Whether they’re building a cardboard spaceship for an epic adventure or prototyping a new invention to sell at our young entrepreneur market, children leave with more than just a cool project — they gain confidence, problem-solving skills, and the belief that they can make anything they can imagine.

Cardboard City: Where cardboard isn’t waste — it’s the beginning of something awesome.
