What parents say
"Great place for kids. My boys enjoyed making their own crayons. They enjoyed watching a crayon turn into a race car and also do some dip project using two crayons. There is two playground areas one for toddlers and another for ages 5 and up. We got wrist bands and went to grab some lunch and then came back for some more fun. I would definitely bring my boys back."

"Took our grandkids ages 3 and 5 and they loved it. Make sure you look at their special offers. My husband got a free annual pass for being in law enforcement and got the rest of us in at 20% off. They loved making their own custom crayons and drip art. We got the $10.00 boost package which came with a souvenir cup, popcorn and two additional tokens. The indoor play area was awesome and got some excess energy burned off. We spent 3 hours and didn’t do all the stations. Definitely geared for smaller children and they can’t wait to go back!"
