"Ok so look, I was gonna give this place 4 stars for one reason I will explain in a sec... this place is so much fun for kids, building, selling, bubbles, firetrucks, hard hats and rope bridges... so much fun. HOWEVER, and I say this with the biggest warning I can, if you are an adult, which if you're reading this I am assuming you are, do not... I repeat, do not go down the slide from the top of the tower. I bruised my tailbone after achieving mach speed going down this thing and you know what the doctors told me I needed to do to fix it? SIT ON A DOUGHNUT PILLOW. Bring your kids, total"

I'm so happy that my kid was happy too because these guys really have everything, especially toys that are needed, for a kid to play. This place is really wonderful, and I would be honored to recommend it to all of my friends. GREAT JOB!"
