A SIMPLE IDEA. SO MUCH POSSIBILITY.
For little friendships.
And grown-up ones.
Play Date is a family community built on a simple idea: kids need friends, and parents do too.
More familiar faces.
More chances to connect.
We’re bringing families together through monthly Socials and ticketed Adventures. A place for kids to play, parents to talk, and new connections to grow at their own pace.
Whether you are new to the area, looking to expand your family’s circle, or hoping to turn an occasional hello into a familiar friendship, Play Date is being created with you in mind.
We are starting small with a three-month founding pilot: one free Social and one ticketed Adventure each month. There is no membership fee during the pilot. What we learn together will help shape what comes next.
MEET A FELLOW PARENT
Hi, I’m Jeremy—a local dad.
I’m a Milwaukee dad and the founder of Fojut Ventures. I previously co-founded NEWaukee, the Night Market, and ART 64 in Tosa. Play Date brings that same love of human connection and play to families: shared experiences, first hellos, and familiar faces. Questions are welcome before you register.

OUR MISSION
Bring families together.
Let connection grow.
To bring families together through play, social gatherings, and shared adventures—helping kids build friendships and parents build community.
OUR VISION
A world where every family has a community to grow with, where children feel a sense of belonging and parents feel connected and supported.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Ten promises behind every Play Date.
These values guide every gathering, partnership, and chapter—and shape how families should feel when they join us.
- 01
Play Comes First
We create space for children and adults to be curious, silly, creative, active, and fully present.
- 02
Warm Welcomes
Every family is personally greeted, shown what to expect, and helped into the experience from the moment they arrive.
- 03
Comfort and Clarity
Families receive the details they need in advance so they can arrive prepared, relaxed, and ready to participate.
- 04
Safe to Participate
We choose appropriate spaces, plan responsibly, respect personal boundaries, and never pressure anyone to join an activity.
- 05
Connection Over Perfection
A successful Play Date is measured by the relationships created, not by whether every detail went perfectly.
- 06
Local Adventure
We help families discover the memorable places, people, businesses, and experiences already waiting in their community.
- 07
Accessible Fun
We design experiences for different ages, needs, comfort levels, and budgets so more families can take part.
- 08
Families Have a Voice
We listen to families and use their ideas, needs, and feedback to shape what Play Date becomes.
- 09
Leave It Better
We respect every venue, support local partners, care for shared spaces, and give back whenever we can.
- 10
Everyone Belongs
No family should feel like an outsider—if you show up as yourself, there is a place for you at Play Date.
