Help Build The Place Fairfield County Families Deserve.
Built by parents. For parents.
A place for our kids. A place for us.
The Place we’ve always wished existed.
We’ve launched a GoFundMe to help take the next steps - and show potential investors that Fairfield families are ready to rally.
We’ve all been there.
Our kids are having the time of their lives, while we sit on a hard bench or in a wall-to-wall themed wonderland. Overstimulated, under-caffeinated, counting the minutes and questioning our life choices.
I’m Amy, a local mom of three, and I got tired of asking: “Why can’t there be a place where kids have the time of their lives, and parents enjoy being there, too?”
Turns out, other parents felt the same.
So let’s stop waiting for it. Let’s build it!
Meet The Place.
A parent-first family destination for toddlers through teens, with hospitality at its center. Modern. Comfortable. Designed around the whole family.
Room to play: Age-appropriate play zones for toddlers, big kids and teens.
Room to move: An indoor turf field and a full-size basketball court.
Room to recharge: Real coffee, real food and a welcoming lounge designed for parents.
Room to gather: Birthday parties, celebrations and community events.
All in a calm, clean, modern atmosphere where you actually want to stay.
Kids play.
Parents recharge.
Community gathers.
Help us take the next steps.
Your contribution helps lay the groundwork for opening our doors.
Planning: Financial review, preliminary designs and construction estimates.
Legal groundwork: Lease negotiations and permitting requirements.
Building awareness: Marketing to reach more local families.
Fundraising: Investor outreach and fundraising expenses.
We're working to secure the larger
investment needed to open.
This fundraiser is something different:
a way for the families who'll actually use
The Place to help build it.
Your support sends a message.
Every contribution helps us move forward - and shows potential investors that Fairfield
families aren’t just excited about The Place.
They’re stepping up to help bring it to life.
Three ways to join the rally.
Back it.
Every contribution, whatever the amount, helps us take the next step toward bringing The Place to Fairfield.

Open a door.
Know an investor, business, potential partner or someone who could help bring The Place to life?
We’d love an introduction.
“I helped make this happen.”
Our hope? That one day you’ll walk through the doors, watch your kids take off, settle into a comfortable seat and think exactly that.
For your family - and for the parents who needed a place like this, too. 🧡
Thank you for believing in a better experience for Fairfield County families.

Founder, The Place
The Place is a for-profit business. This fundraiser is in addition to our larger investor fundraising effort. Contributions do not provide equity, repayment, goods or services and are not charitable tax deductions. We have not yet secured a lease or established an opening date. Opening depends on additional financing and required approvals. Funds may be spent on early development, marketing, investor outreach and fundraising expenses even if the location does not ultimately open.
