Making Magic
Magic Playhouse, 2824 E Commercial Blvd., 954.256.6119, IG: @magicplayhousefl
Everything is possible at the Magic Playhouse! The indoor play palace allows children to explore their imagination with the help of mini houses and stores. The new location includes new features, like a grocery store, brand new firehouse, a family home and doctor’s office. If you need a place to host a kid’s birthday party, look no further. The playhouse can be decorated in different themes for parties at your request, plus they do all the planning and preparation. There’s also an indoor playground with toys and activities that are sanitized between uses. They’re offering summer camps now and “Baby and Me” small group classes in the fall.
