What parents say

I didn't know there was a parking garage, hence my last review. Foynd it this time and it was so cheap and the attendee was great when we lost our ticket 🤦‍♀️ We come to visit family from Ga and our littles love this place. Its the best thing for kids to do in 3 counties that we have discovered thus far.

This place is amazing! Kids will be in heaven! So much place to run, play, and climb. It was very clean and the equipment was in great condition. We were only visiting, but I wish we had a place like this at home. My son didn’t want to leave. It wasn’t very busy when we went, which was nice.

Unique facility that is a gem. Indoor playground that's free, a sculpture that runs on a limited schedule to prevent wear and tear.... It's been around awhile. Look online to see schedule. It is fun to watch the "cannon balls" roll through the giant pinball type tracks.

★★★★★ — A, Dec 2022

Nice indoor playground. They have recently added some cool electronic games. Heads up to parents that the one in the corner continues to beep obnoxiously every few seconds even when not being played. Restroom is on site and an orange leaf is open for some hours. Definitely a great deal as admission is free.
