“We are beyond excited to open our doors to the community’s families and witness the wonders of learning meld with the spirit of play…”
– Carrie Mathwig, Chippewa Falls YMCA Executive Director,
The Chippewa Falls YMCA, announced the grand opening of its newest attraction: an interactive PlaySpace designed for children’s educational and recreational enrichment. This initiative, made possible through the partnership with the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire and through a grant provided by AnnMarie Foundation, Inc., invites families to experience the joy of play with a purpose.

The PlaySpace at the Chippewa Falls YMCA is a haven for young minds, offering a variety of STEM-based games and activities that promote learning through play. Tailored for children of all ages with an emphasis on activities for 2-14 year olds, the area is equipped with innovative games and robotics, which can be signed out at the front desk, facilitating a hands-on environment to stimulate creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Also in the space, a large climb through slide, blue building blocks, and interactive fort building supplies to get little minds and bodies moving.
