What parents say
Fun place for all ages! A lot of different attractions to keep the little ones entertained for at least a couple of hours. Came during spring break at 12:30. Parking lots were very full but Inside was nicely spaced for heavy volume. Be prepared for your kids to get water all over their clothes in the water room.
What an incredible place! My kids had an absolute blast! We stopped by on a whim during a road trip across the state, and it quickly became the highlight of our journey. There were so many engaging activities, we could have easily spent the entire day there.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND, there is so much for kids to use their minds and have fun doing to while they learn. We spent about 3-4 hours here and well worth the money. This is a great family adventure to do together and all ages will enjoy.
OH MY GOODNESS! What a fun place to visit! Took my grandson 5y/o for his birthday surprise with the great grandparents. So much to do and see. From water, bubbles to crafting, paper airplanes and baseballs, building things. It never stopped. A child can just do what children do, play. They do offer sensory times also.
