What parents say
"Best soft launch!! Not a lot of people know here due to it being a soft launch. I can only imagine how busy this place will be! The staff was easy to spot. Answered any questions I had. Sadly, there was a little boy that was lost, however, with staff acting quickly, they were able to find parents. My kids are 5 & 7 years old and they had so much fun (Myself and other parents had fun too!) Nice facility and great parking! We will definitely be coming back!"
