Sadly, my children outgrew this fun spot. But for younger children, this is a nice way to spend a partial afternoon of about an hour or so. Anymore, boredom sets in unless you go outside and do the nature thing in the warm months.
There are separate room for toddlers (thank god I have passed that phase), no groups. Some giving corporate sponsors have ensured first rate play areas. There is a climbing wall, basketball court, hockey rink, diner, and a pizza kitchen.
