Please stay safe!
Save Imagine!!
The community will be forever grateful!
We only have an extremely short time to do something to save our wonderful playspace. Please help if you can.
We hope that everyone is healthy and well during these challenging times. We are very grateful for everyone who has come to enjoy playing at Imagine Playspace over the years. We have certainly enjoyed the community and watching your little ones grow! I am heartbroken to inform you that it is fairly likely that Imagine will not survive the prolonged pandemic closings. But we are still hoping to somehow make it through in an altered, safe manner when things open if there is a way we can get some help with the ongoing costs. As a large space in a high rent area with few staff we do not come under the usual category for grants. We were created to be open every day, not closed for 4 months. If any one would like to contribute funds to help Imagine survive, or if anyone knows a business or person who would like to sublet or some other solution, please let us know. We would be forever grateful if you would like to donate via the "Save Imagine!" go fund me button below, or send a check by mail to Imagine Playspace, 23 Bay State Road, Cambridge, MA 02138. The funding will be used to cover ongoing costs while we are closed and/or if we have to leave, cover moving expenses and potentially reopening a smaller venue in the future.
Ways that you can help:
- Donate funding to help with rent, or with moving expenses if it looks like paying ongoing rent is not possible. See "go fund me" site using the "Save Imagine" button above.
- Spread the word that we are trying to "Save Imagine!" so others can help if they wish.
- Continued rental of the space we are in will likely require shared responsibility for ongoing expenses & risks. If you know of anyone who may be interested in some partnership, taking over, ongoing funding or group running of the space, please send them our way. Even with 2 people responsible, the place again becomes manageable.
- If we can remain, understand that we will operate with substantial changes including private "play zones" in order to keep everyone safe during the crisis. Our rates would have to change to reflect our costs in cleaning everything after use and our lower capacity.
- If we have to move, help spread the word about items for sale especially large items like our ship etc. All this may happen very fast at the end of May.
Please e-mail imaginecambridge@gmail.com or call 617-661-0077 if you would like to help in any way! Many thanks for your support.

Pick-N-Paint is a fun way to create something special. We have a number of items available to paint that can be treasured or given as holiday gifts, including a number of light up ornaments this year. Most items are 2-8 dollars and may be painted at Imagine. Pick-N-Paint is available weekday afternoons and at other times if we are able to accommodate. A creative personalized gift may be treasured for years as a special way to say "I care." Kids & adults alike can enjoy painting and creating something special together at Imagine!
