For $5 per person I guess you shouldn’t expect too much. My son had a lot of fun playing but all the learning items were kinda a waste. I was a bit baffled when my son and I walked in to find all of the produce crates completely empty. When I looked around I noticed all of the produce was dumped into a single bin around a corner from the crates. When I saw this I thought 🤷🏻♂️ Oh well kids will be kids. Then while I was looking at it an employee with a pony and purple shoes walked up. He literally said to me “My break starts in 5 minutes, I guess it’s someone else’s problem.” Yikes!! I know, I know, we should all be more tolerant of ignorance just because it’s hard to find workers right now but come on. Who says something like that to a paying customer. I also posted a picture of the monster maker space which was completely destroyed and out of supplies. It looked this way for the entire 2 hours we were there playing. I didn’t take a picture but there was a circuit creating set for kids to use but it didn’t even have enough wire to make a circuit. The 2 stars instead of 1 is because there was enough stuff around that my son still had some fun playing. The truth is my 5 year old finds a way to have fun every where he goes.

My grandson loves many of the play areas - including the big building blocks, water table, dress up & grocery store. I love the craft area & earthquake table! So many ways to learn & it's not a big place so you don't get lost in it! I look forward to seeing it grow. The two downsides to our visit were the parking (because downtown is under construction) and the woman who checked us in. No eye contact at all & no help with our wristbands (not so easy to put your own bracelet on when the 4 year old has ants in his pants & wants to play!!). That wasn't the first impression I expected. Other than that, good experience.

Affordable, lots of different things to do; for kids of all ages and skill levels. Anyone who remembers the Inventor's Hall of Fame kid's section will be happy to know this place fills that niche up and then some. Place is clean and the staff is friendly- we will be spending a lot of time here for sure! Probably my favorite part of it is that the layout really encourages parents to PLAY WITH THEIR KIDS! What a novel concept. My advice to any parent coming in is to leave your phone in your pocket and interact with your child- they will be better for it.

I liked that I saw people continuously cleaning and sanitizing while we were there. The staff is very helpful. There’s something for children of ALL ages to do and all of my grandchildren enjoyed it.
