No Parents Allowed!

Teens have unique needs, and a place to hang out and be themselves is one of them. The Teen Media Center at The new Children’s Hospital, located near the intersection of I-225 and East Colfax Avenue , provides just that.

The 3,000-square-foot “teen hot spot” offers teens a chance to escape from daily healthcare at the hospital to a place where they can have fun and be themselves. The space features a pool table, basketball arcade, computers, video games, a music and reading room, a kitchenette and a telephone booth.

One of the most exciting features is the movie theatre, referred to as the Room of Magic, with removable seats to accommodate hospital beds if necessary. 

This special place was designed with teens in mind, and is available only to them — no parents allowed!
