Five Bay Area Spots to Drop Off the Kids While You Adult it Up.
The term “date night” can be so anxiety-inducing, maybe you’re heading out for a night of wining and dining, but maybe you just want to eat chocolate without a tiny human asking for some, or maybe you even want to use the downtime to finally learn how to use your Instant Pot. Doesn’t matter, but just make life easier on yourself and tell the kids you were at work.
Here’s a rundown of some awesome Drop-Off spots in the Bay Area. You can find even more on Galore and book your date night right here and now.
1. Play Haven
Neighborhood: Forest Hill, SF
Ages: 2 years — 6 years
Play Haven offers creative play activities, a special art project, games, and story time during their drop-offs for date nights. Plus they have every kids favorite: pizza …okay, and fruits and veggies too. Play Haven is a quick walk to the Forest Hill Muni station.
2. Yoga Alameda
Neighborhood: Alameda
Ages: 4 years — 11 years
