About the Venue

Exceptional Explorers is a travel-themed indoor play space in Livingston designed for younger children and the grownups who bring them. The venue pairs open play with arts-and-crafts programming, classes, mini camps, and memberships, all in a parent-friendly environment created by founders with occupational therapy and speech-language pathology backgrounds. It is especially appealing for families who want imaginative play plus a little more developmental intention than the average indoor playground.
