What parents say
Absolutely loved this clean safe place! With lots of educational activities to do/ try, my child played for a good while! The ball pit and boat, were her favorite! And she DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE, when it was time to go. My favorite activity was the EDUCATIONAL room for kids to explore what's in our outer space.
If you ask me personally, this place is the best bargain in Jacksonville for toddlers and little ones ages 2-6. I've never been here prior to the party I threw here for my now 5 year old daughter. First things first, I called about 3 weeks in advance to book. The process was so smooth!!
Just visiting from out of town and was looking for someplace to take my 6,4,2, and 6 month old kids. The outside doesn't do this place justice. So much to do inside.
We spent a week in Jacksonville. My kids enjoyed exploring the different themed areas, like the firefighter station and grocery store, which kept them entertained for hours. The facilities are basic but clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
