What parents highlight
“I also love that they require the kids to wash their hands before playing and supply hand sanitizer as well!”
What parents say
During a birthday party for my one year old, we had children 1 through 13 in attendance and everyone had a good time (including the adults). The atmosphere felt very safe- not worried about kids falling or injuring themselves. The time for a private party went so quick! We were there for 1.
We have been to our fair share of children's museums and play places & this one was a delight ! It is simple but highly engaging. there is a lavish area for babies too, which sometimes lacks from other places.
Great place to bring kids age 1 to 6. Has coffee or water at a normal price. A lot of learning hands on stuff. Plus rules are take off shoes and wash hands before you can go play. I love that they have the hand wash before play as germs can be held to a minimum.
Took my 20 month-old grandson to Wheel and Cog. He absolutely loved it! We were both exhausted in less than 2 hours. Many creative and engaging activities for kids. Very clean, and I appreciated the friendly staff. Wonderful any day, but especially rainy and winter days.
