For those with smaller humans in tow, the Polka Theatre is a world-class children’s venue with a mission. Its shows range from puppet-heavy tales of bravery to adaptations of classic stories, all wrapped in a rainbow-hued building that screams “joy.”
No kids? No worries. The on-site café is a quiet sanctuary for reading, and the adult-only evenings (think storytellings and spoken word) happen quarterly. Keep an eye on their website; you might find a brilliant date night hiding in plain sight.
