What a hidden gem this place is! My 4 year old son had the best time playing and can’t wait to go back! Friendly staff, very clean, and so many fun things to explore! Wish we would have discovered it sooner. Thank you for the great afternoon! We will be back!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children ages 2–10. The interactive exhibits hold attention across a wide age range, and the peace-education framing makes conversations between kids and adults natural and easy. Birthday party packages offer a distinctive alternative to standard party venues.

β€œI rented out the community room for a birthday party my only complaint is you have to pay for 1hr which goes by fast. The price was good but should be that piece for 2hrs. The party rooms are great the kids did not want to leave”
