Located in Hillsboro Village, The Bunny Hive is Nashville’s sweetest, new social club designed to cater to the needs of parents & caregivers of young children.
When Atlanta native, Natalia Cooper, began raising her family in Nashville, she often found herself only having the library or park playgrounds as options to spend her days with her growing little ones and to also interact with other parents.
Natalia desired more places in Nashville that offered a space for her children to create and learn alongside other kids that were of similar ages. She first heard of The Bunny Hive through friends who spent their days exploring new creative interests like music, art, and culinary with their newest littles. As a former educator, Natalia loved that this place provided the opportunity for children and adults to connect and learn through play together.
Since so many of the family-friendly activities are outside of Nashville’s city limits, Natalia knew that the city needed a space to support its growing families! One sleepless night, Natalia “slid into the dm’s” of The Bunny Hive’s founders. She expressed how she believed in this community and saw the opportunity for it to thrive here in Nashville. A few years, a lot of prayers, and a community of support later… Natalia’s vision finally came to life in a 100-year old house in Hillsboro Village.
With 13 different classes designed for ages newborn to kindergarten, there is something for everyone! From exploratory play, baby massage, sensory and culinary exploration, kindergarten prep, and so much more. The unlimited membership is intended for the families to explore all offerings to see where their child finds his or her own interests.
“I was pretty nervous opening our doors during the summer, but the feedback I have received is that it’s nice to have a reliable activity, no matter the weather,” Natalia proudly shares.
Natalia has put so much thought into every factor. As soon as you walk up to the outside, you are overcome with even the beauty of what The Bunny Hive is! This is the absolute dream space for your little’s birthday parties, your upcoming baby shower or bridal shower, or any intimate gathering for life’s most special moments. The property allows ample space for outdoor activities as well; like food trucks and bounce houses, or could even be the best spot for a beautiful cocktail hour!
Inside, the interior has been perfectly designed with intentionality while respecting the bones of the beautiful 1920’s home. The warm space invites different aesthetics or decor to thrive depending on the event or occasion. And an added bonus- parking! How did she get so lucky to score a place in Hillsboro Village with dedicated parking? Clearly, it was meant to be.
So, what is Natalia’s favorite part of it all? “Watching parents, especially moms, bonding and getting to know one another.” She hopes that The Bunny Hive continues to grow into a space where people feel comfortable coming to at any point of their parenthood journey.
