Allergy Awareness
We ask that all of our guests be mindful of our friends with food allergies and keep food to designated areas i.e. the cafe. disinfectant wipes are provided throughout the space to wipe down surfaces and toys at your discretion. Wet Wipes are provided for hands after eating, as these have shown to remove allergens effectively.
