frolic opening Rock on at Frolic!
April 2013

We’ve reviewed some cool play centres on Babyology but I think this one might win. Located in Brooklyn, New York, Frolic has redefined play centres with a rock’n'roll urban edge. If the amazing pop-art-meets-Led-Zepplin decor is not enough to set Frolic apart, then the list of ‘extras’ most certainly does. Reflecting the artistic culture of the surrounding neighbourhood, the focus of the activities and classes offered at Frolic are on the creative – music and art with a distinct rock edge.

On Sunday, December 3rd, the Music Hall of Williamsburg hosted Frolic!’s 2nd Annual Rockin’ Holiday Show. Following the massive success of last year’s concert, the Northside play space was proud to present its band and signature music program Little Rock-its by Frolic!, as well as several special guests.

Although it stayed kid-friendly, this was a show any real rock fan could love... the original songs were melodically infectious and packed their own charm. At one point, even Santa came out to boogie with the kids.

nymagpreview315 Moms and Tots Rock Out in Williamsburg
March 15, 2012

The indie pioneers of Williamsburg will not let young parenthood spoil their indie-rocker cred. That is why so many of them are naming their kids things like Cash and Marley, giving them Ziggy-era Bowie haircuts, putting them in toddler-size AC/DC T-shirts and taking them to the new Frolic! play space, a 5,000-square-foot, candy-colored facility in the waterside Edge apartment complex. With membership nearly $1,000 a year, the space — which features an array of music classes, its own in-house band, a slide built around the famous Rolling Stones lips and a “Ziggy Starbus” VW minivan — allows parents to steep their kids in a wee version of rock culture while they kick back, drink organic coffee and reminisce about their Cobain- and DiFranco-worshiping wild years. We stopped in recently and asked a bunch of moms (and one dad), all from Billyburg, if and how their own kids are exhibiting signs of Mommy’s bad-ass halcyon days.

Frolic!, Williamsburg's new rock 'n' roll-themed romping spot for preschoolers, has gotten an incredible amount of buzz since it opened last month.

Brooklyn Based has a new piece on the plight of indie parents trying to make it in the music world while juggling parenthood. Of course, after reading that sentence, the word "Williamsburg" should be flashing in red before your eyes as the neighborhood you once thought of as kind of hip and maybe even a little cool gets slammed with toddlers with ironically ripped jeans (maybe from learning how to crawl) and tattooed moms debating the fastest way to swing by Roberta's for a quick lunch date in a Blue Bottle driven frenzy.

Both juice boxes and beer were the drinks of choice at Frolic’s holiday party at the Music Hall of Williamsburg last month, where the average attendee was about three feet tall. Iggy Pop blared on the sound system, but instead of mosh pits on the main floor there was cushy felt, perfect for crawling babies.
