📆 SAVE THE DATE! Saturday August 31st, come out to support the SickKids Foundation! We can’t wait to end the summer with a bang along with our friends at Tenley’s Travelling Tails & Valley Girl Designs 🫶😎☀️

I am so incredibly excited to announce this fundraiser collab that has been in the works with The Squishy Goose and Valley Girl Designs !!!

We have teamed up to bring you some Carnival fun for the whole family!
From “pay what you can” entry to the petting zoo and Squishy Goose playground, to $2 and $5 events throughout, our hopes are that everyone can afford to come out and enjoy their day, while donating to an amazing cause that is SickKids!

It seems that many children in our community recently have been diagnosed with cancer and other life altering illnesses, and we believe this is the best possible fit for our organization of choice.
Tenley’s dad also spent many teenage years in SickKids after a tragic accident that changed his life. She is the heart and soul of my business, and her daddy is her whole world, so we just feel like this fundraiser hits home, and is incredibly special to us🤎

Please follow along for more updates regarding our big day! We will be posting with more information leading up to the date, and we can’t wait to see you all there!

It is going to be such a special day!🤎

We 💜 teachers! Here at the Squishy Goose, we have a real soft spot for any and all individuals who dedicate their careers to educating, guiding, and safe-guarding our children. Day in and day out, through extreme and unpredictable circumstances, we ask the impossible of these individuals, and time and time again they deliver. There is no way to truly express the gratitude we feel toward our education workers, but hopefully this token of appreciation helps! 🤗 For the months of July & August, bring any form of identification showing that you are an education worker, and you’ll receive 20% off all admissions! 🤑
While the kids are off school for the summer, please take the opportunity to stop by and spend some fun, quality, stress-free time here at the playground. We’d love to see you, and say “thank you!” in person! 👩‍🏫💜👨‍🏫 Cheers to summer! 🤸☀️🤸

💥📢💥Big news! We are EXTENDING our hours to close at 7PM Monday to Friday, all summer long! Starting this Monday, July 1st (✔️YES! We’re OPEN on Canada Day! 🇨🇦 ) we will be open for drop-in play from 9am to 7pm Monday through Friday, and 9-5 on Saturdays & Sundays.
☝️BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! 😀 We will also be offering ⚡️$5 MONDAYS⚡️ starting July 1st, and continuing until September 2nd! That’s right, $5 admission every Monday for any child, any age - and 1 adult admission still included with every child! And as always, grandparents are free, while additional adults will be only $5 as well! 🤗 *Remember: like any day at TSG, admission is first come first serve, and subject to capacity.*
We hope this will make visiting The Squishy Goose that much easier for our families throughout the summer - a little extra time, and a little extra savings to help you keep those kiddos happy, healthy, and worn out by bedtime! 😉
So come 9-7pm all week long, and for only $5 every Monday! We can’t wait to see you!!! 💜💚🧡
