About

Taxi and Tide Imaginative Play Space in Milwaukee is a thoughtfully designed indoor play environment that encourages children to engage in pretend play and creative exploration. With spaces styled around imaginative themes, it gives toddlers and preschoolers a chance to try on different roles — from shopkeeper to chef — in a low-screen, hands-on environment. The space is intentionally intimate and calm, offering a contrast to the louder, more chaotic large-scale play gyms.

It's a go-to for parents who prioritize developmental play over pure physical activity.
