Me Land Frederick

I have been to Me Land several times and upon reading other people's reviews must clarify a few things for parents reading the reviews. 1.) Kids are loud. You can't not come to an in-door children's playground and complain that "it's too loud". Two.) You can't attend a children's birthday party at an open playground and expect all the children in the birthday party to stay together in one place. It doesn't work like that. 3.) It's not the staff's fault that you missed said birthday party because you were on your phone leaving them a terrible review. Most parents who have attended a child's birthday party would have gotten up and checked in with party and waited until they got home to leave a review. 4.) If your there for a birthday party and you notice it's loud and you can't hear the announcements, you should check in with staff. Tell them, "I'm here for a party and I can't hear when the party is announced, can you tell me the room and time the party is supposed to be at? Then you collect your child at that time and go to said party room. 5.) There is a long counter with stools to sit on and eat snacks by the tube slide. Yes during extremely busy times(like the weekend)seating is not unlimited. I'm sure the business owners assumed that parents bringing their children to indoor playground would play the majority of the time. It's not a restaurant. Most kids would sit for 5 minutes have a drink, eat a quick snack and get back up and play and seat and counter would be open for next person and so on. 6.) Parents complaining the staff wasn't watching the door to keep children from leaving. It's not a daycare center where you leave and they are 100% responsible for your child. It's your responsibility to watch your child I understand children are quick, but the play area is far enough from the door and there is a barrier surrounding the lobby so it's not possible for a child to just bolt to the door. 7.) The Stamp on your child's hand is not for security reasons like chuck-e-cheeses. It's so you can come back and play the same day without paying admission a second time. I don't know of any local playground that will let you leave, eat lunch, let your kid nap whatever and return without paying admission. That's a great deal especially if your there for 5 minutes toddler has meltdown and you have take them home to nap. 8.) The staff at the top of the inter-tube slide Is there to make sure children are sitting correctly In the tube before sliding down, they aren't sliding down head first etc. They aren't there to carry the tube up for you or your child. (Parents of small children under 8, they will not be able to pull the inter-tube up the ramp to slide down).It's steep and the tube is heavy. You will get buns of steel going up and down that ramp. The ramp is also narrow and you have to squeeze back down the ramp past other parents and kids carrying large tubes. So that is one part of the play structure that could be redesigned. Parents that claim they went to Me'land and got sick upon returning home most likely did not get sick from the play stucture. Contact with virus and bacteria do not make one immediately sick or sick within a few hours. They were likely infected days earlier. Overall it's a good play ground with small toddler area( the area for older children is significantly larger) During busy times older children tend to be too rowdy In ball pit area for small toddlers to play.(Ball pit is in children's section not the toddler section) But I don't know of any toddler who would see the ball pit and not want to go in. They definitely need a toddlers only ball pit. They also need a toddlers only time. There is no locking lockers only cubbies, so if you don't want to carry around purse valuables I would leave in the car. Weekend prices are higher and is more busy. Stick to weekdays for cheaper admission rates and less crowding.
