What parents highlight
“The only thing I could think of is that the center only provides 2 hours and includes the set up and clean up within those hours, which is really hectic and rushed.”
“Every area is thoughtfully designed at a child’s level, making it easy for little ones to move around safely and independently.”
“Food: Kids Cafe offers child-friendly options (open weekends 10 AM–2:30 PM).”
“It is also reasonably priced which makes it a solid value for families.”
What parents say
This place was fine. I am unsure what I envisioned it to be but my child enjoyed herself. It does need a new makeover as you can see that it's been there for a long time. Staff were all very nice/friendly. They were constantly cleaning toys after use which was nice to see.
My kids loved this place. Even the 7 years old had a lot of fun. Everything was very clean and you can tell the staff is taking care of everything all the time. I loved the third floor! Every floor has a lot of fun things to do. I will come back

Downstairs is dedicated to gigantic body functions, community service jobs, restaurant chef, police, dentist, baseball hitting practice, race cars, and then a whole room dedicated to…
The kids enjoyed it. 4 and 2 yo. My 4 yo is autistic and had plenty of room to run around and sensory seek. Some items weren't working, but it was clean and the staff was friendly.
