About the Venue

Kids Kove is the YMCA Grand Forks indoor playground area for preschool-age children. Rather than a destination play center, it works best as a member amenity for families with children ages 2-5 who want an easy indoor option for cold, windy, or wet days. The setup focuses on tunnels, climbing, and imaginative play, with weekday evening access and weekend use during regular building hours unless the space is reserved for a birthday party.
