About Us
Hi! I’m Kirsten—a retired Air Force Veteran, proud girl mom to two wild and wonderful young daughters, and the founder of Joyous Jungle.
When my family moved to Crawfordville, I was excited for a slower pace of life—but quickly realized how tough it was to find things to do with young kids that didn’t involve the unforgiving Florida sun or the bugs that love to welcome you! As a new stay at home mom, I also struggled to find other parents to connect with. I knew I wasn’t the only one feeling this way and I knew I could help.
That’s why I created Joyous Jungle—a safe indoor, engaging environment for children to
play, learn, and grow while adults connect and recharge. Whether you’re here for a drop-in play day, one of our interactive classes, or just a hot coffee and good conversation, we hope you’ll feel at home the moment you walk through our doors.
This is more than just a play space—it’s the village so many of us have been looking for.
The Jungle Café
Our café is the perfect place to relax while your littles play! We proudly serve Lucky Goat Coffee from Tallahassee, along with a rotating selection of fresh pastries and treats from these amazing local partners:
