What parents say
My daughter loves it here and I like the fact that it is always clean and they don't keep toys that are broken or damaged. They are constantly adding newer toys to each play area.
Large open spaces for the little ones to crawl around, I am a bit disappointed they took out the castle from when I was a young lad, but their peter pan exhibit looks promising. The front staff was nice, and other than that small interaction, my child and I had literally a whole open room to ourselves for play time.
It can be difficult to find a place where the whole family can engage with imaginative play with their kids. The Exploration Station solved that with hands on interactive stations, castles, flight simulator, and much more so that families can make meaningful connections through play.
my grandkids love the Alice in wonderland theme,slide is super fast..lol hair stands on end with the static electricity 😍 will be goin again also bought membership what a great deal.
