At inspireU, curiosity leads to confidence, and knowledge leads to healthier choices. 💧🌱

By exploring how water is cleaned, delivered, and used, children learn the importance of hydration, sustainability, and caring for their bodies. As you explore, be sure to scan the QR codes throughout our space to learn even more and keep the discovery going together!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our second free night! 🤩 We loved welcoming 475 guests through our doors and seeing the space filled with curiosity, laughter, and hands-on learning.

Behind every great day at inspireU is a team that’s prepared, aligned, and always learning. ✨

Training days give our staff the time and space to sharpen skills, collaborate, and ensure every child and family who walks through our doors has a meaningful, engaging experience.

“Training days are essential because they allow our team to step back from the day-to-day and focus on our mission and purpose. When our staff feels confident and supported, it directly impacts the quality of experiences we’re able to create for families,”
- Taylor Lee, Experience Manager

Investing in our people means investing in our mission…and it shows in every moment of play, discovery, and connection. 💛
