"A great escape from the AZ heat! Enjoyed playing around there with my little one with other kids and parents all gathering for the Fun. Has a reading area, changing stations a snack are and all the fun! Much better than sitting at home playing with the same ole. And coffee and refreshments for adults too!"

"Leo and Luca has been a favorite and staple for our family for many months! As a mom of two, with minimal “village” being able to get out of the house can be a life saver for some days. While there are many places to go with young kids, Leo & Luca is our favorite because it is CLEAN, it hardly ever loud or chaotic, the music/decor is not overstimulating, I love the Montessori inspired open ended toys that both my children have enjoyed for the past year despite their age differences, and the opportunity to do art via drawing, painting, and crafts."
