Old School Lives

If you haven’t been to this place yet, you’re missing out on one of Cotton’s best-kept secrets. It’s an old school building turned into a legit community hangout, with an indoor play area and discovery center that keeps the little ones genuinely busy — we’re talking books, toys, and activities that actually hold their attention. Parents get a coffee shop and local vendors to browse while the kids do their thing, which honestly makes it a rare win for everyone in the family. Perfect for the 0-8 crowd, especially on those brutal Minnesota winter days when you need somewhere to burn off energy indoors.
