Under the initiative of Marie Ducruet and Élise Rouillard, Monaco inaugurated Little Wonders this Wednesday, January 21, in the presence of the Princely Family. This brand-new indoor play concept has been thoughtfully designed for young children and their families, combining early learning, imagination, and shared moments — all within a warm, secure, and carefully curated environment.A true family cocoon, Little Wonders offers an innovative space created to stimulate children’s curiosity, creativity, and development, while also providing parents with a welcoming place to meet, connect, and accompany their children through their first discoveries.
“Élise and I are friends, and we experienced our pregnancies together. Our children grew up almost at the same pace, and we discovered motherhood hand in hand. In Monaco, we dreamed of a warm, stroller-friendly café where parents could gather indoors while their children played in a space designed especially for them. This shared dream is what we decided to bring to life.” — Marie Ducruet, Co-founder of LITTLE WONDERS
Spaces Designed for Every Age and Every Moment
Each area of Little Wonders has been designed with particular attention to safety, material quality, and the overall family experience, offering a space that is playful, aesthetic, and functional.
“The space was designed exactly as we envisioned it: a complete venue that meets the needs of children of different ages and their parents. There is a baby area dedicated to free movement, a role-play corner that encourages open-ended play, a play structure with slides and climbing areas, as well as construction games and a quiet reading corner. While the children play, parents can enjoy a coffee or a snack and share convivial moments. We wanted to create a place that is playful, warm, and truly comprehensive.” — Marie Ducruet & Élise Rouillard, Co-founders of LITTLE WONDERS
A Two-Story Play Structure
The true heart of the venue, this large play structure invites children to climb, explore, and stay active in complete safety. Designed to develop motor skills, agility, and a sense of adventure, it offers a fun and stimulating course perfectly suited to young children.
Imitation Space & Mini City
Created to encourage symbolic play and imagination, this area allows children to recreate everyday scenes through role-playing. A mini city that fosters creativity, interaction, and learning through play.
Dedicated Space for Babies (0–18 months)
Specifically designed for infants, this calm and secure area offers age-appropriate modules that promote sensory development, free movement, and early exploration in complete serenity.
Reading & Construction Games Area
When not privatized for birthday parties or workshops, this space becomes a quiet zone dedicated to reading, focus, and creativity. Children’s books and construction games allow children to slow down and nurture their imagination.
A Welcoming Café Area
A true living space, the café area welcomes parents and children in a warm atmosphere, allowing them to relax while keeping a clear view of the play areas.
Child-Friendly Restrooms
To ensure optimal comfort for families, Little Wonders features restrooms specially adapted for young children, encouraging independence and easing parents’ daily routines.
A Meaningful Inauguration
The inauguration on January 21, 2026, brought together the Princely Family, partners, local stakeholders, and guests for an exclusive first look at this new venue.
“It was an especially emotional and powerful moment for us: the realization of a project that was very close to our hearts, imagined above all for our children, who are the true driving force behind LITTLE WONDERS. The support and presence of the Princely Family reflect the Principality’s interest in this opening and reinforce our immense pride in seeing this project come to life. The feedback from parents, thanking us for having thought of and created this place, confirms that we have responded to a genuine need.” — Marie Ducruet & Élise Rouillard
