NEW ROCHELLE — Cloudbound, a first-of-its-kind 18,000-square-foot playspace designed specifically for babies, toddlers, and young children ages 0-6, has opened its doors in New Rochelle, offering families a magical destination to play, connect, and create lasting memories. During its grand opening in January, Cloudbound hosted over 1,600 kids, parents, and loved ones – and signed 1,000 annual memberships within just a few days.
Imagined by the same parent company as Sky Zone trampoline parks and designed in partnership with the country’s leading childhood development experts, Cloudbound combines the energy of a playground with the wonder of a children’s museum. From giant spiral slides and castle-inspired obstacle courses for preschoolers to sensory-rich interactive zones for babies and toddlers, every corner is crafted to spark curiosity, imagination, and growth. Cloudbound is located at 80 Nardozzi Place, a property owned and managed by Simone Development Companies.
“As a company, we listened to our guests seeking more meaningful play for their children during the most formative years,” said Dave Hoffmann, CEO of Sky Zone. “After intentional research in this area, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Cloudbound, the newest space for kids to play. Focused on both mental and physical development in the crucial early stages, Cloudbound delivers engaging experiences for young children while giving families a new way to connect and build community.”
Parents can enjoy amenities including: comfortable seating with clear sightlines, quiet rooms, lactation spaces, stroller parking, private party rooms, and even an espresso bar in the full-service café — all created with families navigating the first years of parenthood in mind.
Key Highlights:
- Whimsical, Interactive Play Experiences Backed by Early Childhood Development Research: Giant spiral and airplane slides, rainbow bridges, and castle-inspired climbing structures pair with musical walls, light panels, building-block zones, tummy-time mats, and cloud-soft areas – inviting children from a few months old through early childhood to imagine, explore, and safely challenge themselves through movement and sensory play.
- Parent-Friendly Amenities: Clear sightlines, comfortable seating, quiet rooms, lactation spaces, an espresso bar in the full-service café, and easy arrival with stroller parking and storage cubbies make visits enjoyable and stress-free.
- Cloudbound Moments Classes: 60-minute guided instruction mini-classes for babies, toddlers, and caregivers, offering guided play, movement, and connection in private cloud rooms.
- Fun Party Rooms: Party rooms ranging from 300-400 square feet are available, with each group receiving two hours of dedicated access for toddler and preschooler birthdays that are simple and stress-free.
- Everyday Access & Simple Pricing: Cloudbound offers simplified pricing models and membership options to make everyday drop-ins easy without any planning ahead required. First-time visitors can play for 60 minutes for $10. CloudPass Memberships start at $99/mo. and include 90 minutes of weekday play during operating hours (8:00am–6:00pm).
“Cloudbound reflects a deep understanding of early childhood and the realities of modern parenting,” said Josh Rathweg, President of Cloudbound. “The early years of parenting are a critical time not only for children’s development, but for the formation of long-lasting family friendships. Cloudbound was designed to support both individualized play for kids and intentional community-building opportunities for parents.”
