Oak Harbor Playtown

Oak Harbor is one of the many businesses that had to completely pivot as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For several months they had to close their play area, and only just recently on October 20th, 2020 were they able to open with a very limited capacity. There are limits on how many people are allowed in the play area at a time, and there are specific times they are open for play sessions as well.

During the last several months, Oak Harbor Playtown has greatly expanded their cafe services and they are open for pickup and delivery! You can choose from a selection of beverages including espresso drinks, Italian sodas, Red Bull spritzers, flavored lemonades, root beer floats, and tea.

For updates, you can check out Oak Harbor Playtown’s public Facebook group and their Instagram page.
