What parents say
So we took our son here on his first birthday and he had a ball. So did our other 2 kids. We drove over from TN and this by far is worth the money. If you have kids between 1 and 12 this place is for them. Very clean really nice and friendly staff. Lots of stuff for the kids to do.
This place is what every town needs. It's an indoor play place with two age-appropriate jungle gyms, soft play areas, play houses, and a bar and snack bar. It is spacious and open with lots to do for the kids. Different age groups are sectioned off, everything is padded.
Our first time here, what an amazing experience. Very clean and very nice staff. My daughter is 15 months old and for 10$ we got 3 hours of fun, and she would have stayed until she passed out. There was an amazing play area for under 3 with safety gates which was nice but she wanted to play in the big kid area.
Great place for kids to have fun. Place is very large with a lot of obstacles for the kids to climb on. Free WIFI for parents, they have snacks and beverages for sale, they have a designated area for smaller children under three. It’s very reasonably priced as well! Stumbled upon this place on a road trip, glad we did!
