Forest Kitchen Area

Welcome to the Forest Kitchen!

Put on your chef’s hat and roll up your sleeves—something wonderful is always baking in our Forest Kitchen! Designed just for tiny hands, this bright, beautiful culinary workshop is where little foodies can discover the magic of cooking and baking.

Under the step-by-step guidance of our friendly instructors, children will gather around our custom, kid-sized prep islands. Using child-safe tools, miniature sinks, and whimsical pastel utensils, they’ll chop, mix, and assemble delicious, kid-friendly snacks and treats. From measuring ingredients to proudly displaying their “freshly baked” creations on our wooden bakery shelves, this is a hands-on kitchen where little chefs build confidence, kitchen safety skills, and a lifelong love for wholesome food!

Welcome to our mini culinary studio! To ensure a hygienic, allergy-safe, and wonderfully educational baking experience for all our little chefs, please follow our kitchen rules.

Wash Hands First

Hygiene is our top ingredient! Every little chef must thoroughly wash their hands at our miniature sinks before approaching the prep islands.

100% Nut-Free Facility

To protect children with severe food allergies, our kitchen workshops are strictly peanut and tree-nut free. No outside food is allowed inside the studio.

Child-Safe Tools Only

We only use specialized nylon toddler knives and blunt utensils designed for tiny hands. No real sharp edges or open flames are used.

Book Your Session

To maintain proper social distancing and personal counter space at the prep islands, access is restricted to scheduled workshop times.

Is there real heat, fire, or sharp knives used in the Forest Kitchen?

Safety is our recipe for success! We use 100% child-safe, ergonomic nylon knives that can chop soft ingredients but cannot cut skin. There are absolutely no open flames, hot stovetops, or sharp metal blades in this zone, making it entirely risk-free.

How do you handle severe food allergies?

We take food allergies incredibly seriously in Newmarket. The Forest Kitchen is a strictly designated nut-free environment. If your child has specific dietary restrictions (such as dairy-free or gluten-free), please inform our staff upon booking, and we will happily accommodate!

Do children actually get to eat what they make?

Yes! Depending on the specific workshop theme, little chefs will either assemble delicious real treats (like custom parfaits or no-bake cookies) or engage in beautifully realistic pretend-play baking using sensory dough.

Is the culinary workshop included in general admission?

To ensure a premium experience with dedicated counter space and ingredients, our instructor-guided kitchen workshops run on a session-based schedule and require a separate booking slot. You can easily check availability online.

What is the age limit for the baking sessions?

Our custom prep islands and miniature sinks are perfectly proportioned for children aged 3 to 10. Younger chefs aged 3-5 are welcome but must have a parent or guardian standing by their side to assist with the fun.

What kind of skills do children learn in the Forest Kitchen?

Beyond just having fun, our workshops foster early math skills through ingredient measuring, refine fine motor skills through mixing and chopping, and build lifelong kitchen safety awareness and food confidence!
