🌌 Event Venue · Hillsborough, NJ
Your next event deserves
a space that already has the audience.
Space Play Academy was built for community — and community doesn't stop at age 12. We're looking for passionate people who want to host meaningful events in a space that genuinely inspires.
Event Types
Whether you have a plan
or just a spark — we're in.
These are a few formats that have worked here. Your concept doesn't have to fit a box.
Pop-Up Shop
Set up your market, boutique, or artisan table to an audience that already wants to shop local. Our families are engaged buyers who trust the brands we bring in.
Kids' Enrichment Pop-Up
Science demo, art class, STEM workshop — bring your curriculum to a crowd of curious kids and the parents who are always looking for more ways to engage them.
Wellness Workshop
Yoga, meditation, nutrition, parenting skills — our families are hungry for content that helps them thrive. Kids play while the grown-ups focus on themselves for once.
Networking Night
Connect parents, entrepreneurs, and community leaders in a space that sparks genuine conversation. No babysitter needed — kids play while the grown-ups build.
Parent Meetup
New parents, local groups, neighborhood circles — build real community with people who already have something deeply in common.
Fundraiser Night
Raise money for your school, team, or cause. We co-host and promote. You keep a share of every ticket sold. A community wins together.
You don't go it alone
We help you fill the room.
When you host with us, you get more than a venue. You get a community that's already paying attention.
Community Reach
Your event featured in our newsletter reaching ~6,000 local families, on our Instagram, and on in-venue posters — before your event even happens. You bring the concept. We bring the crowd.
We Shape It Together
Not sure if your idea is ready? That's exactly why you should reach out first. We help you refine the concept, plan the logistics, and build something that actually works.
Flexible Terms
No huge upfront commitment. Our default is profit-sharing so our success is tied to yours — when your event wins, we all win. Prefer a flat fee? We can explore that too.
The Process
Simple to start,
built to succeed.
Share Your Idea
Send us a DM, drop us an email, or give us a call. Tell us what you're thinking — no polished pitch required. If the spark is there, we'll help you build the rest.
We Shape It Together
We'll nail down the concept, set the date, arrange the space, and build a promotion plan. You focus on your event — we handle getting people through the door.
You Host, We Promote
On the day, you run your event. We've already been promoting it to our community of local families. When your event succeeds — we all win.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before reaching out. Still have questions? Just ask.
What's the capacity? ▼
The space comfortably holds up to 100 people, with seating arrangements for up to 80. We can reconfigure the layout to fit your event — whether that's theater-style, tables and chairs, or a mix of both.
Do you provide tables, chairs, and setup? ▼
Yes. Tables, chairs, and general setup are included, and we'll work with you ahead of time to arrange the space in a way that fits your event's flow.
Can I host an adult event? ▼
Absolutely. We've hosted adult events before and they work especially well when kids can play while the grown-ups focus on something just for them — a workshop, a social, a pop-up.
It's one of the things that makes this space uniquely ours: parents can actually be present at your event instead of scrambling for a sitter.
How does promotion work exactly? ▼
When you host with us, your event gets featured across our full community: our website, Instagram, in-venue posters, and our email newsletter reaching nearly 6,000 local families in Somerset and Hunterdon County.
You bring the concept — we help fill the room.
What does it cost? ▼
We don't want cost to be the reason a great event doesn't happen. Our default is a profit-sharing arrangement — what you pay scales with how well the event does. Lower risk for you, and we're motivated to help it succeed.
If you'd prefer a flat fee, we can explore that too depending on the event and scheduling.
Can I sell things at my event? ▼
Yes. Some items require a vendor license from the state or municipality, but that's not a dealbreaker — we can help you figure out what applies to your situation.
Don't let the paperwork stop you from reaching out.
