✨POV: your kids find a place where they can create for HOURS and there’s no clean up involved for you 😅

We spent the afternoon at The Makery at Boxyard RTP and honestly… this is such a gem for Triangle families.

The Makery is a hands-on creative space created by the team behind Kidzu Children’s Museum, designed for kids, tweens, teens, and even adults to explore STEAM-based creativity through art, crafting, building, and interactive maker projects.

They offer:
✨ open maker sessions
✨ themed take-home projects
✨ workshops + seasonal events
✨ creative tools/materials
✨ robotics + 3D printing experiences
✨ staff-guided activities for all skill levels

Pricing currently starts around:
• Maker’s Choice → $10
• Maker’s Project → $20
• Workshops → $30+ depending on the activity

It’s located right inside Boxyard RTP, so you can easily turn it into a full family outing with coffee, food, music, and space for the kids to explore afterward. 💛

Boxyard RTP even offers ear plugs in the courtyard for anyone sensitive to loud music/sounds. Such a thoughtful touch for kids, elderly guests, and anyone who needs a quieter experience. 🤍
