There are no hidden costs explicitly mentioned, but the need for warm socks could be an unforeseen comfort cost if not prepared.

a month agoThis place is outstanding. We come here every Friday night for the family fun night and this place NEVER disappoints! Our daughter is 2.5 years old and we generally spend 2-3 hours here. The owners are super nice and friendly as are all the workers. They strive to keep is as clean as possible! It is kid and adult friendly! We love being able to unwind after the work week and let our daughter play to her heart’s delight. They have wine and beer and you can order a pizza too! Plenty of seating for adults while your child runs around and a ton of great play areas: bounce houses, airport security, an airplane, drive through coffee shop, grocery store, post office, houses, grills, a theater, puppets, and so much more. We always tell our friends to meet us there! It is a step above the rest! Clean bathrooms and tables and such a great selection of kid friendly snacks! We have been to several indoor play places but Kids Wonder has it all Figured out and makes everything kid and adult friendly! You can’t find anywhere else like it !
Liliya Bergen
5 months agoWe love this place. It’s definitely geared toward younger children, but it kept my 8, 5, and 3-year-old entertained for hours. A pleasant bonus: the music isn’t blaring like in many kids’ play places. The only downside is that they don’t allow shoes, and the floors are quite cold- wish I had brought warm slippers for the family!
Allora Stearns
3 months agoVery fun place to take your children. I bought books before I left as well. My daughter had a blast for lots of pretend play. They have bounce houses as well. They also have snacks for the kids and parents as well.

a month agoI love bringing my son here!! First of all, they keep it super clean and well-maintained. Friendly staff are walking around constantly disinfecting. There are so many fun options! It seems miraculously uncrowded and not too loud, at least at the Friday evening family time we have gone. Love that grownups can enjoy an adult beverage too. Thankful for this place!

a week agoMy family was invited here for a birthday party and after having just had my sons party at Chuck-E-Cheeses, the party here was so much more fun. It was much less chaotic with more physical activites to do. Bounce houses and areas for imagination play, a whole city for kids to do whatever. No video games. You can run your kids ragged and they will fall into their beds happy kiddos.
