AdventurePlex — Attraction in Manhattan Beach

Has anyone noticed there child getting sick right after from visiting this place? I have brought my children here twice I love it it's affordable,but the first visit my daughter was 9 months my son was 2 years came here mostly for him to play. When we returned home everything was fine untill 2 days or a day in a half we noticed our son caught a cold and my daughter ended up in the hospital with rsv ( mind you rsv is only contagious if passed from child to child my son didn't have rsv so she didn't get it from him) . It never crossed my mind to think about maybe she got it from here until the next visit we had at adventure plex. My daughter now 1year and son now 3 years old. The very next day we noticed our daughter had caught a cough and this time it was bad I took her to the Dr 3 days later because it wasn't getting any better turns out she had to be on antibiotics for striped throat(at least they thought it was). I had to give it to her for 10 days straight, but on the 7th day of taking medication she spiked a fever of 103 didn't go down. We ended up in the er once again after recently visiting adventure plex. Turns out she had caught pneumonia. So all I have to say is be careful because I don't think they clean any of the toys and don't watch to see if there's any sick kids around...

This place gets 5 stars for fun. My 2 year old had a blast and took a good nap afterwards. the 2 star deduction is for safety. There needs to be a sign to keep the gate that goes from toddler town to the lobby area closed. there also needs to be signs to tell parents that unless they are taking a photo their phones should be put away. I’ve seen this in some other play areas and people actually correct themselves when they notice the sign. Too many distracted parents and I personally had to redirect 2 toddlers who had escaped toddler town. I know this should be common sense but unfortunately that is not a flower that grows in everyone’s garden.

Another majo safety issue are the elevators. The buttons need a cover over it to prevent toddlers from easily getting onto the elevator alone. I saw it happen and the mom was horrified. Toddlers are quick and it’s good to be proactive instead...

We took our 20 month old son here for "Toddler Town" which is a dedicated space for Toddlers. We were concerned he might be too small but it was perfect.. This is a great location, Toddler Town at APLEX offers a good mix of options for toddlers. Unlike other kiddie play areas, this toddler town was thought out well. When I visited other venues there were limited options for toddlers. Here, our son enjoyed the mock grocery shopping, check-out, and clerk experience the most.They have these cute mini shopping carts and grocery selections are on their level. Again, there are tons of other options to play with: cars, buildings, blocks, car rides, crafts, etc. The staff are attentive and courteous. They also offer room rentals for birthday parties, just bring your own food & decorations. Lastly, it is nice to know our son can grow here with more advanced play options down the road,...
