The Hippo Hub

Welcome to the Hippo Hub

Tucked just behind the boutique, the Hippo Hub is where the heart of The Purple Hippopotamus truly shines. It’s a cozy, inviting space designed for more than just shopping—it's where families come to connect, play, and grow together.

We host a variety of classes and events for children ages 0–9, blending movement, creativity, and storytelling in ways that spark joy and curiosity. But the Hub isn’t only for kids—grown-ups have their place here too. From intentional family experiences to fun nights out just for adults, the Hub brings people together in meaningful, memorable ways.

Planning a baby shower? The Hippo Hub provides an intimate, beautiful setting that reflects the heart of what we do—celebrating families, connection, and the joy of what’s to come. Click here for more private room rental information. 

At its core, the Hippo Hub reflects what we believe in: slowing down, making memories, and creating a sense of community that lasts long after the class or event is over. Whether you’re joining us for a little one’s first activity or hosting something of your own, we can’t wait to welcome you in.
