“This is a really great, affordable option for safe, indoor play in our community. It costed us $8 or $9 for two adults and a 1 year old for two hours of play. I recommend going right at open on a Saturday because it does start to get really busy after 10:30ish. Staff were very friendly and the facility was clean. We will be going back for more fun in the future.”

“I love this place! Friendly staff. Lots to do, especially for toddlers. I visit this place often with my grandchildren, 2 and 4. We've been coming for years! Thank you Wausau for having so many things for children to do! I don't understand how anyone can give this place less than a 5 star review.”
