★★★★★Kristen McCafferyWe had our daughters first birthday at STEMful and it was a huge success! The space is beautiful, spacious and clean. There are toys for kids of all ages to play with. The STEM activity room was a huge hit with all of the kids, they love getting their hands into the sensory activities. I can't recommend Kim & her team enough!
