Indoor Play Area at the Heart of the Valley YMCA in Kimberly

The Heart of the Valley YMCA in Kimberly recently became a 24 hour/7 days a week facility and opens a new soft-play indoor playground at their facility today.

The Heart of the Valley Y also offers drop-in childcare (Kids Corner) for kids ages 6 weeks – 10 years old while you stay in the facility for up to 3 hours per day. Pre-registration is required for infants 6 weeks-2 years old. Find hours
