“Hours of entertainment for a 2, 4, and 6 year old, as well as us grandparents”
Cale Appleby
“Kids really enjoyed this place, it was quite a drive from North Port. It's kind of underwhelming though, the pictures online kind of make it look like a lot more than it is. It's like the size of the common area of a library with cool areas sectioned off for the kiddos. It's sort of dated too. It's worth it if you're nearby for a cool indoor playground but definitely don't travel just to see it.”
