Can I bring my children with me to the shop?
Our shop is not a kid friendly space and we strongly suggest that you do not bring your children under 12. However, we realize that there may be times when you need to and we ask that you be attentive to your children and mindful of the equipment and our other members. We do offer kid specific classes and you can check our calendar for them.
