A women-owned indoor play space and children's bookstore opened in January 2025 above OB Noodle House Bar 1502, Bluebird Play fills 2,000 square feet with literature-inspired play structures, including an Alice in Wonderland climb-through piece drawn from the 1865 Lewis Carroll text. Day passes cover caregiver-and-child sessions, and the bookstore at the front partners monthly with a local nonprofit like Cans4Books, donating a portion of featured-title sales to the partner organization, a rotation that complements the Montessori curriculum track at Adventures in Montessori Ocean Beach. The curated retail mix runs to classic board books, gift editions, musical instruments, puzzles, costumes, and pajamas, sized for baby-shower and first-birthday gifting rather than big-box toy volume. Parent drop-off date nights started in April 2025, opening short, supervised windows for caregivers to step out while children stay onsite. Themed birthday packages and private events book the full space outside public hours, and story times, author visits, and seasonal pop-ups bring the OB parent community in on a calendar basis, often paired with a ceramics-painting trip to Claytime Ceramics. The co-owner's background in directing and elementary-school theater shows up most in the full-service themed birthday builds, where play structures, costumes, and narrative storytime are scripted into one continuous set piece.
