GiGi's Playhouse Fox Valley

GiGi's Playhouse Fox Valley opened its doors on April 23, 2005 becoming the 2nd GiGi’s Playhouse to open. We were originally called GiGi’s Playhouse Too! We have proudly been serving the Fox Valley region and surrounding communities with free life-changing programs since then. We continue to grow thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who serve with their time and talents, and thanks to the incredible support of a community that continues to invest in the mission of changing the way the world views Down syndrome!

We invite you to reach out and learn more, come in for a tour, learn more about volunteering, or let us be the soft place to land if you or a loved one receives a surprise diagnosis.
