Hi friends!
I know a while back I said I would introduce myself, so here it is!

My name is Jenna Miller, owner of Ames Play Yard. My husband, Jacob, and I have a blended family of 5 kids, 4 girls and a boy. We are Cyclone fans and love introducing our kids to new experiences. We love being outdoors and enjoy trying new activities.

Living here in Ames, we have had difficulties finding things for our kids to do when the weather isn't in our favor. A few years ago, we visited an indoor playground in Minnesota and got our inspiration to develop an indoor playground here in Ames!

As parents, going to kids play places is not very enjoyable or relaxing. They are loud, crazy, and bright. That's where we thought we could develop a space that is relaxing and inviting for both parents and kids. Parents can work, relax, or socialize while their kids play. We also have two private rooms for parents to hold birthday parties. Our goal is not only to provide a space for kids to play, but for parents to feel welcome.

We are so excited to continue with this project and will keep you updated on new happenings!
