The Wonder Place — Attraction in Little Rock

Fun first time experience for us. The facility seemed clean, the staff was friendly, and the bathrooms were nice. They had a nursing station too. There is a fee for each child, $8.75 I think, and they charge for the first adult. The second adult is free. There are many stations, art, sand, soft blocks, wood blocks, market, kitchen, stuffed animals/veterinarian, tiny tot area, wind tunnel, dress up stage, water table, puppet show, and tree house. The staff did walk around periodically and clean up. I was amazed how fast she put the kitchen back together, it was wrecked. There is also an area with tables and chairs and snack machines. We didn't use that area, so I have no review of it. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the water area, the tiny tot table seemed scuzzy. I don't know how often it gets cleaned out, but it needed it. They do provide smocks for the water table, and that is nice. The art area, they put out a few things for a single craft, you don't have access to every media imaginable, but my 3yo was satisfied. My only real complaint is the other parents. I had a 1.5 and a 3.5yo there and there were older kids running them over, knocking them down, ripping toys out of their hands...and so many parents didn't bat an eye, or made a half-hearted attempt to tell their kid to be nice. I lost my temper when a much older kid was in the tiny tot area and smashed a door into my 1.5yo and all but crushed her. Completely unnecessary. Parents need to teach their children manners and respect. But anyway, the facility was nice, my kids loved it, and the staff was friendly and did clean up. We...

I am just not a fan of this place! I have been numerous times and each time I leave disappointed. Our most recent visit was the worst. My 3 yo, 8 m old, and myself walked in behind a group with one adult and 6 kids. It took several minutes for them to pay, which was fine. Once they paid, the lady at the front desk completely ignored us and took them on a tour of the place. She then proceeded to take group pictures for them. If I hadn't promised my daughter we would come, I would have turned around and left. We stood at the front for close to 7 minutes waiting on her to come back. I expected her to apologize, but she did not. Didn't even cross her rude mind. No other employees in sight. We payed and then went to play. The kitchen area was a wreck of beaten up toys. A mom was busy texting while her baby was drooling and mouthing everything. The only bucket for toys that have been put in kids mouths is at the front. They need one on a shelf for each station. You can't leave your child or stop their play to take toys to the front. The craft area is always a mess. The sand table never has enough sand. I don't know how often they clean, wash dress up clothes, or rotate toys, but I can't imagine it is very often. The few times we have been it is always the same stuff. Making parents pay to watch your child play is a total rip off. I will...

The Wonder Place is the best when it gets super hot, rainy, or if you need to get out of the house. There is only one entrance and exit if their party rooms are closed, leaving the place secure and allowing your little ones to roam free.

The many different 'stations' allow for a variety of development and critical thinking activities. The stations that I can recall off the top of my head are as follows: Huge water table. Grab a protective apron, a fishing pole and go to town

Tree House: slide, Rock climbing ramp, a music space, a loft for toys

A grocery store: pretend food and play with baskets, a check out station and a register

The Kitchen: prepping stations, kitchens, and tables to serve. Host your own tea party

Theater: puppets, dress up, & props

Veterinary Clinic: stuffed animals, doctor equipment Sand Table: hands-on play! Craft/Coloring tables Bright light building station Blocks/Velcro cubes station Air Area: throw scarves through tubes and see where they come out. Foam balls can float above p vc pipes

A baby-2yr area: separate play area with tunnels, books, slides, mats etc

The space is open allowing you to rest your feet and watch them or play with them. Restrooms and water fountain are clean and in...
