Jennies Playhouse is an indoor playcenter and is a locally owned and operated business in Grand Junction, CO. At Jennies we are passionate about the development of children's imaginations and the crucial role imagination plays in cognitive, social, and emotional growth. In our pretend play town children can spend hours of fun engaging their imagination as well as release any excess energy in our bounce house area. Jennies is a place where children can explore, dream, and build on the magical tool which is their imagination. As Albert Einstein said, "Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere".
