A fantastic spot to escape both the cold and heat at no cost! It offers a spacious play area surrounded by smaller activity zones, making it perfect for a wide age range. The walls are decorated with beautiful nature paintings, and there are plenty of interactive features to keep everyone entertained, from wall activities to a well-stocked book section. The rock climbing wall is a fun highlight as well. It's a great space no matter the weather.

A fun indoor playground experience. A modern playground structure…indoors. No clue what they charge cuz our son was invited for a birthday party, but had a blast of course, running around and playing on stuff, climbing everywhere. They have a whole wall that is a climbing wall, multiple professionally painted wall murals, and a couple other rooms, not sure what all is in them. Fun place for small kids.

It's okay for a free indoor playplace option. It could be improved and should be waay cleaner. The whole place closes for an hour everyday for cleaning, but I'm not convinced any cleaning is actually happening. The floors and surfaces of the play area are flithy/grimy. The space needs a good mopping and thorough wipe down. The climbing area is geared towards older kids. Murals are pretty. Bathrooms were clean. The staff were nice and greeted us when we came in. Plenty of benches for parents to sit on while kids play. Activity stations on walls, but some had broken pieces that had not been repaired.

This is an indoor playground for 5 to 12 years old.
Normally for places like this you would have to pay. But it's entirely free.
Rule enforcement is left to the patrons just like you would in an outside park.
If approached in the right way, this is a golden resource for the whole city.

This is a great place to bring kids when the weather isn’t great since it’s an indoor play area and the admission is free. There are several other meeting rooms for other social activities including bridge and dancing.
