Where Imagination
Blooms Everyday!
Chicky Play Museum – Vancouver, WA
A Mother’s Inspiration
At Chicky Play Museum, our journey began with a dream to create a space where play, learning, and community come together. Inspired by countless visits to children’s activity centers across the West Coast, East Coast, and Asia, we’ve explored over 100 venues, immersing ourselves in diverse play environments. As a mom and avid traveler who’s visited over 100 cities in 30 countries, I’ve always cherished the power of exploration and cultural connection.
My Passion Project
From my daughter’s earliest days, I sought to give her the best experiences—whether through baby classes, music, yoga, or art. Frequent travels connected me with local mothers, and I quickly realized a shared longing for vibrant play spaces, especially in our SW Washington and Portland communities. When the beloved Children’s Museum near the Oregon Zoo and play cafés in Vancouver, WA, closed during the pandemic, many of us felt the void.
From Vision to Reality
Inspired by those needs and tired of long drives, traffic, and the rainy Pacific Northwest weather, I envisioned Chicky Play Museum— a unique combination of a children’s museum and a cozy café. A place for moms, kids, and families to connect, play, and recharge together.
Our Commitment to Community
We sourced the best local teachers to come collaborate with our special events, coffee from an immigrant roaster, baked goods from a mom-of-six’s shop, and partnered with local startups to grow this dream. We’ve built a team that includes moms and teens, offering them opportunities to shine. Every detail of Chicky Play Museum reflects the heart and soul of small businesses working together.
“When you visit us, you’re not just supporting one small business — you’re uplifting an entire community.
Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to share the joy with you!”
