A place for play, community, and inclusion
Even with exceptional fitness, recreational, education, and social programs – sometimes the most meaningful thing the JCC does in serving its mission is simply offering a place for the community to gather.
Especially on a cold, Milwaukee winter day!
The Guten Family Discovery Center (your child may refer to it as “The World of Wow”) is an indoor play area open to all neighborhood families. With a soft surface floor, interactive climbing area, and open space to burn off your child’s extra energy – and a great place for mom or dad to sit and catch up with a new friend. View “The World of Wow” schedule.
The JCC Reading Room is available for private study, with a full array of new and classic books, recent publications, and a comfortable environment to catch up on your tasks.
