Step By Step Club in Pickering: A Fun Indoor Space for Families in Durham Region
If you’re a parent in Pickering or Durham Region, you probably know the feeling: the kids have energy to burn, the weather isn’t cooperating, and everyone needs to get out of the house.
That’s why I love discovering local spaces designed specifically with families in mind.
Step By Step Club in Pickering is a family-focused indoor space offering activities for children and parents, from indoor play and birthday celebrations to special events and fitness programs.
And the best part? It’s right here in Pickering.
What Is Step By Step Club?
Located at 1400 Bayly Street, Unit 13B in Pickering, Ontario, Step By Step Club brings several family activities together under one roof.
Their offerings include:
- S-Town Indoor Play Center
- Birthday parties
- Special events
- Private play groups
- Mommy & Me fitness
- Group fitness
- Personal training
- Stroller fitness
For families in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and the surrounding Durham Region, it’s another great local option when you’re looking for something fun to do with the kids.
S-Town Indoor Play Center
One of the highlights of Step By Step Club is S-Town, their indoor play centre.
Indoor play spaces are especially handy for Durham Region families during our very Canadian stretches of rain, snow, freezing temperatures — or those summer days when it somehow feels approximately 400 degrees outside.
Having somewhere local where children can play, explore and burn off some energy can be a lifesaver.
It’s also a nice option when you simply want to change the scenery and give the kids something different to do.
Birthday Parties in Pickering
Planning a child’s birthday party can go from “This will be so much fun!” to “Why did I decide to do this?” surprisingly quickly.
Step By Step Club offers children’s birthday parties in Pickering, giving families another local option for creating a special celebration without having to host everything at home.
Their website also highlights entertainment such as face painting and encourages families to plan their birthday events directly with the club.
If you have a winter birthday child in particular, having an indoor birthday party venue in Pickering is definitely something worth keeping on your list.
Special Events for Kids and Families
Step By Step Club also hosts special events throughout the year.
Their Special Events page is updated with individual events and registration opportunities, so it’s worth checking periodically to see what’s coming up.
This is one of the things I love about having family-focused businesses in our community. Sometimes you don’t need an elaborate day trip into Toronto — you just need somewhere nearby where the kids can have a great time and make some memories.
Mommy & Me Fitness
Step By Step Club isn’t only about the kids.
They also offer Mommy & Me Fitness classes in Durham Region, designed for moms who are at least six weeks postpartum and want to safely rebuild strength, including their core and pelvic floor.
The classes are also designed to create an opportunity to connect with other moms — something that can be incredibly valuable during those early months of motherhood.
Another thoughtful detail is that older children can use the S-Town Club Play Center during class, making the program more practical for moms with more than one child.
A Local Pickering Business Supporting Families
As a Pickering mom and a family photographer, I’m always happy to see more businesses creating spaces and experiences specifically for local families.
We spend so much time searching for things to do with our kids across Toronto and the GTA that sometimes we forget how many great options we have right here in Durham Region.
Places like Step By Step Club ran by Lauren and her team, give families another opportunity to play, celebrate birthdays, attend events and connect with other parents without travelling far from home.
And really, those everyday experiences often become some of the childhood memories we treasure most.
Making Memories in Pickering & Durham Region
My work as a photographer is obviously centred around photographs, but I’ve always believed that memories aren’t created only during a photography session.
They’re created during birthday parties.
Also created while your toddler is running around an indoor playground.
They’re created during family outings, special events and those ordinary weekends when you’re simply trying to figure out what to do with the kids.
The photographs simply help us remember how those years felt.
If you’re looking for more family-friendly activities in Pickering and Durham Region, Step By Step Club is one local spot worth checking out.
You can visit the Step By Step Club website to see their current programs, upcoming special events and registration information.
And if all of these adventures have reminded you just how quickly your little ones are growing, I’d love to help you freeze a tiny piece of this stage with a family photography session.
Memories by Alexa Photography offers family, newborn, maternity and milestone photography for families throughout Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Durham Region, Toronto and the GTA.
Because the days can feel long — but somehow the years are ridiculously fast.
