LOVE this place! It’s an amazing indoor place for kids. Specially on winter when the outdoor playgrounds it’s not an option. This place is perfect for the kids. It’s like a little town. It’s giant, has tons of activities, games and things to do. Also, the staff people is always friendly, nice and helpful. We always have a great time there with the kids.

We had so much fun here, Us adults, and so as our 3 year old nephew, and 6 year old niece! There are tons of safe super fun games from cognitive development games, physical interactive games, and mind development games that your kids (and adults) will surely enjoy! There's also tons of calming comfortable chair for the adults to sit on. I saw 3 to 5 people fell asleep here while watching their kids. Lol. The staff were all polite and nice. There are sanitizers every corner. Staff will remind you to sanitize your hands before you go inside of each play room. Entrance fee was less than $20.00 dollars and totally worth it! I suggest to get tickets in advance.
