Noah’s World Play Space

Opens In Oneonta Rail Yards

Noah’s World, a play place for special-needs children and their families, hosted a grand opening this afternoon in its 3,800-square-foot space, where children can run, dance, climb or even take a few minutes to wind down in the Sensory Play area. “My son, Noah, is on the autism spectrum, and I wanted to create a place for kids like him to enjoy themselves, without a lot of over-stimulation, but that would also be open to all families,” said owner Sheila Andreic.
