The Bledsoe-Miller Community Center has reopened as the Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center. It's totally free. All they ask is that you sign in at the front desk.
Most of the rooms and activities are geared toward older kids (at least 4) but there are some activities that could work for younger kids (a table with crayons and coloring paper; a velcro panel area where you can build a large structure). There is a robotics lab, a teaching kitchen, a recording studio, a computer lab, a gaming lab, creative spaces (3D printing, etc.), and a gaming lounge.
They do offer opportunities for field trips, birthday parties, and various private rentals.
Don't miss the upstairs immersive light room (interactive wall that lights up when you touch it).
There is also a neat space-themed playground outside. The playground is accessible from the STEAM center building (but the door locks behind you). The playground does have its own parking lot as well. A lot of fun elements here and a variety of interactive features! There is a playscape for younger toddlers as well.
Definitely worth a visit if you've got kids, even if it's mostly for the playground. Truly awesome that all this is available for free. read more
