New State-of-the-Art Indoor Kids Play Space, Rollie Pollies, Breaks Ground in Austin
Austin is getting its first-of-its-kind indoor play destination. Rollie Pollies, a sprawling, screen-free play space designed for children from newborns through age 10, is set to open its doors Summer 2026 at 3822 Airport Boulevard in the heart of the Cherrywood/Mueller neighborhood. Spanning more than 9,000 square feet, the facility offers something Austin has never had before: a thoughtfully designed, developmentally intentional environment where every child and every caregiver belongs. From dedicated tummy time nooks for newborns to imaginative make-believe worlds for toddlers, structured dance and gymnastics studios for growing kids, and a sensory-friendly retreat for children who need a quieter moment, Rollie Pollies offers spaces and programming built to serve the full spectrum of early childhood. The space grows with its guests – a two-year-old can lose themself in pretend play and gardening while an older sibling scales the big kids’ play structure just steps away. Anchoring it all is a coffee bar (with kid-friendly snacks and drinks!) in the entryway, because parents deserve something great, too. The colorful murals throughout the space are the work of Austin artist, Chris Rogers, giving every corner of the facility a vibrant, locally rooted soul.
