Crooked Alley KidSpace: An Arts and Education Center for Children
630 Wirt Road, Groveport
Crooked Alley KidSpace, the City of Groveport's arts and education center just for children, opened in June 2009 at 630 Wirt Road at the intersection with Crooked Alley.
The facility offers scheduled programming and facility rentals for children up to the age of 12 through Groveport's Community Affairs Department to include children's art, dance; visits from the Columbus Zoo and other major special events; a preschool child-parent playgroup; Scout meetings; and a site for birthday parties and other children's events.
Other features include a Kids' Art Gallery to showcase works created by junior artists, library, children's garden, and an enclosed playground with a 15' treehouse. A 28' hand painted mural honors the merging of Wert's Grove and Rarey's Port in 1847 to create "Groveport." KidSpace is located on the Ohio and Erie Canal and the graphic illustrates what a child would have seen at that exact site in the mid-19th century.
KidSpace is also available to host your own party. Two rooms may be reserved for your event: FunSpace, the larger of the two rooms, holds up to 84 people with tables and chairs, for $50/hour. The Library is ideal for a smaller meeting or party up to 17 people, for $25/hour. There is no charge to reserve KidSpace if you are a Groveport resident or taxpayer. KidSpace Overnight permits overnight reservations for supervised Scouts, families or organized event for a fee of $10/person.
