Weekend Events
Way Late Play Date at cMoe
Enjoy a fun evening in cMoe's indoor "Playground" as they dance in the streets, sing kareoke, take pictures in a photo booth, play games, laugh 'til it hurts, dig for diamonds, and of course, explore cMoe's galleries with other 'Big Kids." And much like your mom, we've thought of everything you'll need to have a nice play date: There will be juice boxes and snacks (aka cocktails, beer and hors d'oeurves) all evening!
