What visitors say
Met up with my 3 grown kids along with 2 grandkids: ages 2 & 7. All ages enjoyed all the activities. Spent 2 hours, but could have spent more time, but had a lunch reservation to get to. All activities kids can come & go as they please.…
So much to do. Its for all ages. Price isnt bad. You can stay for the day. You can go have something to eat and come back. Its a great place for kids to learn. Even Adults! Its clean and staff are so nice
This place was such a different type of fun for the kiddos! Went with all the children to have some well needed hands-on creativity with lots of room to run, climb, and use their imagination! I highly recommend it!
