Can’t wait for a play pass date? Ready to see the Swap Shop today or first thing tomorrow morning? Our members are always willing to say hello and show you around a bit. So, if you are willing to take your chances that someone will be inside to let you in please come on over, ring the swap shop door bell and see who answers. Best bet is weekday mornings 10 to noon. Our space is open to members 8am -8pm Monday – Saturday.
