What we are
House of Wonder is a boutique, Scandinavian-inspired family playcafé with independent play zones for children (infants–6 years). Parents relax with quality coffee and food while kids explore safe, unstructured play within line-of-sight. We have drop-in play sessions, monthly memberships and events.

Who are the founders?
House of Wonder was founded by Christian and Cathrine, two entrepreneurs and parents of each their own set of toddlers. Cathrine and Christian built House of Wonder to give parents and caregivers a calming space to enjoy with the little ones. The founder duo has worked together for 15 years, and prior to House of Wonder, have built several technology companies and a MICHELIN Key hotel.
