Build a Pet Hotel

For kids ages 5 to 10 years old with a caregiver.

About the Program

Calling all young builders! Kids are invited to bring a small stuffed animal friend and design the perfect hotel room just for them. Using cardboard and other recycled materials, families will plan, build, and decorate cozy, creative rooms for their plush guests.

Along the way, kids will explore simple design and problem‑solving skills while letting their imaginations run wild. At the end of the session, all the rooms will come together to create one big, multi‑floor pet hotel—ready for lots of imaginative play!

For kids ages 5 to 10 years old with a caregiver. Please register each child attending separately. 

We kindly remind you that registrations will be removed if the registered person does not meet the program’s specified age requirements.
