What parents highlight
“Who are the exhibit old, but overall it’s well maintained.”
“Finally I really don’t like having to exit through the toy store, it always turns a lovely time with my toddler into a meltdown at the end.”
What parents say
Awesome space for kids. Don’t miss the real helicopter upstairs which is always a big hit. I also love the basketball court upstairs with balance bikes, etc for bad weather/ inversion days. Couple complaints that make me do 4/5 instead of 5/5: I agree with other reviewers about the pay parking.
Second time with kiddo now at 18 months. She's still small for a lot of the activities and it was very busy on a weekend. Nevertheless, she had a wonderful time. They have elevators for strollers, though the elevators are smaller and do shut very quickly.
Clean, fun, safe place for kids. Not too crowded on a Saturday afternoon. Price was $27 for an adult and one child. Only thing is parking is a bit difficult, but as to be expected with this area. Will come back. Loved how clean the facility was.
We love it here so much! The only constructive feedback I would offer is that the mandatory exit through the expensive gift shop is problematic, especially for children who struggle with overstimulation/processing disorders. Just too much.
