About Whirlygig

Whirlygig is a 4,500-square-foot play space in San Jose where children engage in active play, crafting, and celebration. Visitors participate in open play sessions on Mondays and Fridays mornings, with activities including crafts and STEM projects. The facility hosts private birthday parties where groups receive the entire space exclusively, with setup, serving, and cleanup handled by staff. The venue accommodates babies and toddlers in playgroups alongside older children. Special themed open play sessions run periodically throughout the year, featuring activities such as World Cup play, slime making, bakery-themed crafts, and tropical luau events. The space is designed as a parent-friendly environment where adults can socialize while children play. Located at 1095 The Alameda in San Jose with parking available in the lot directly behind the building, Whirlygig was founded in 2018 by a local parent seeking to create celebrations that prioritize active play and crafting over traditional party formats.
