THE PLAY LIST: Hop Into The Bunny Hive — A Sweet Spot for Little Ones and Their Grownups

Finding an activity that your little one enjoys and that also gives grownups a chance to connect can sometimes feel like a win-win that’s hard to find. That’s exactly the idea behind The Bunny Hive, a social club designed for little ones and the grownups who love them.

Already open in Odessa — and coming soon to South Tampa — The Bunny Hive combines developmentally focused classes, play and social activities in a space created with both kids and their caregivers in mind.

The Bunny Hive: More Than a Mommy-and-Me Class

The Bunny Hive welcomes families with children from newborn through preschool, with “grown-up and me” classes designed for different ages and developmental stages.

And there’s plenty of variety.

Depending on the schedule, families can choose from classes like music, ballet, art, sensory play, baby massage and culinary experiences. Classes are intentionally kept to about 30 minutes, just enough time to keep little ones engaged without pushing them past their limits.

The goal isn’t just to keep kids busy. Activities encourage learning through play while giving grown-ups dedicated time to bond with their children.

A Place for Grownups, Too

One of the things that makes The Bunny Hive different is the emphasis on community.

The studio hosts social activities, seasonal events, pop-ups and other opportunities for families to spend time together outside of regular classes.

And if you’re planning a celebration, The Bunny Hive also hosts private events, including birthday parties and baby showers.

Visit The Bunny Hive in Odessa

Tampa Bay families can currently experience The Bunny Hive at its Odessa location. Families can choose from memberships with unlimited classes, a four-class monthly pass or single-class drop-ins, making it possible to try the experience before deciding what works best for your family.

Parent tip: If you become a member, your membership also gives you access to classes at The Bunny Hive locations across the country, a great perk for families who travel!

The Bunny Hive: Coming Soon to South Tampa!

Here’s some exciting news for families closer to Tampa: The Bunny Hive is growing! Owner Allie Felix, who opened The Bunny Hive Odessa in 2025, is bringing a second location to South Tampa.

The new studio will open at 216 S. Armenia Ave. and will offer classes for little ones, along with social activities and special events for families. The South Tampa location is expected to open later this year.

Whether you have a tiny newborn, a busy toddler or a preschooler ready to try something new, The Bunny Hive offers something parents of little ones are often searching for: a place where kids can learn and play while their grownups find a community, too.
