I notice that the Google Maps record linked shows their hours as 1–7 PM on Sundays. Is that overridden for this event, or is it incorrect to begin with, or has the event timing changed as a result?

It's overridden, we've rented out the place.

Good news! Google Maps has updated its record!

Bad news, they now say it is closed entirely today. I don't know if we have it exclusive for today or something else, but I figured I'd note this.

Yes, we've rented out the venue for 12-8, so the normal hours don't apply.

Last question I promise: Is the venue small-kid-friendly? They'll probably be heading out to the nearby park to play shortly after showing up but they would also like to meet people.

Yes it is! (But don't give them alcohol.)
