Frequently Asked Questions
What ages is the Tinker Lab geared towards?
Field Workshop has activities for all ages. Even children as young as 2 can explore sensory activities, practice fine motor skills, early math concepts and more, all while engaging in creative play. School-age and middle school age children will be able to take the activities further and expand their minds by being able to freely build, create and experiment with all of our materials and tools. We see some of the most amazing creative exploration coming from our friends in the 9-13 age range. Children age 5 and over may stay without a parent. Children under age 5 are welcome to explore with a parent or caregiver by their side.
