Built By a Family For Families

Our Story

Busy Bee's was created out of a desire to give our own children a safe, engaging, and weather-independent place to play—a place families could count on year-round, no matter the season. A place where parents and guardians can relax, connect, and feel at home without having to worry about the mess or stress. After visiting countless indoor play spaces with our two young kids, we realized how important it was to have a space that was not only fun and exciting for children, but also easily accessible and welcoming for parents.

What started as a simple family dream quickly grew into a heartfelt mission: provide a place where children could explore, imagine, learn, and burn off energy in a safe environment.

That dream became Busy Bee's—built by our family, for families, right here in the community of families we love.

Our Space

From an empty shell to a place to play, in eight weeks.

Busy Bee's started as an empty 6,000-square-foot shell in a busy Lunenburg shopping center. Eight weeks later, it was a play center.

We worked with Total Construction Services to turn bare walls into a finished space: framing, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, finishes, and all the specialty play installations. They worked through the inspections with us right up to our Certificate of Occupancy.

The schedule was the challenge: eight weeks from start to open doors, inside a shopping center where our neighbors stayed open for business the whole time.

Designed for little ones, and the grown-ups watching them

Every design choice started with our littlest guests, ages 0 to 6, and with open sightlines. Parents can see their kids from across the room, and kids can always spot their grown-ups.

That shaped everything else: a separate infant area for crawlers and new walkers, soft flooring throughout, a main play area sized for preschoolers, a private party room, and an eating area for families.

“We had our daughter’s 2nd birthday party at Busy Bee’s and all of the kids and adults had a blast! There was so much space for the kids to play, and tons of seating for the adults who were not.”

★★★★★
“My 3.5 year old had a wonderful time! I loved that there was so much space. Each station had its own area so the kids could play with whatever without being overcrowded. Buy a day pass ahead of time through their site to save some time when you get there!”
