About
The Wiggle Room is a thoughtfully designed indoor play space located in the heart of NE Portland’s Hollywood District. Originally designed by an experienced and licensed pediatric occupational therapist with a deep understanding of child development and sensory-friendly environments, the space was built with intention, love, and years of professional expertise.
The indoor play space is 2,000 square foot space that features a safe, padded floor, and a 16’ x 20’ play structure. With slides, swings, padded blocks, toys, and brain-engaging fine motor activities, children can explore, play, and grow in a setting that is both fun and developmentally supportive.
Our design reflects an intentional focus on comfort and sensory-friendly choices. From the natural light streaming through floor-to ceiling south-facing windows, to muted wall colors, recycled toys, and a soft green padded floor. Every detail was curated to create a calm and engaging atmosphere. Classical music plays softly to enrich the environment without overwhelming the senses.
Parents are invited to relax or play alongside their little ones. Whether you’re joining in the fun or watching from the bench seating, you can connect to our free Wi-Fi and enjoy a coffee or snack from our in-house cafe.
Looking for a safe and fun space to host a child’s birthday? The Wiggle Room rents the entire space after hours so your party can have exclusive access to the play area, plus staffed bar service for adult guests.
In June 2025, The Wiggle Room began a new chapter under the ownership of two sisters, Nelly and Estebany. We are honored to continue the original mission of this space–to provide a safe, welcoming, and joyful environment for children and families to play, connect, and grow together. We look forward to building on what’s been created and bringing even more smiles to your family.
The Wiggle Room is unique in its design and intention. We want children and adults to feel comfortable and at their best. Thus, one of the greatest compliments we hear is: Your space is very well thought out. It’s in the feel and the details. And it’s true! We have consciously combined many different elements to bring The Wiggle Room to life. Starting from the top, we simulated sunlight by trading the harsh fluorescent lighting for 5,000 Kelvin LED bulbs. Plus, we made sure to bring in as much natural light as possible by selecting a space with floor to ceiling, South facing windows. Next up, we draped white sheets (that move with the HVAC) from the ceiling to suggest clouds and absorb sound. In keeping with our natural, sensory-friendly priorities, we chose muted wall colors, earth tone and recycled plastic toys, and a grass-green padded floor mat. We are also thoughtful about sonic stimulation; our classical music playlist enriches little brains without overtaking the play. All these choices, combined with all the time we spend here with our own children, make this place a true extension of our home. We welcome you to come experience The Wiggle Room!
