"This indoor tree fort is huge. They even have an area for smaller ones 1-5. This is a free play area and safe from the elements when the weather is not great. They don't require kids to take off shoes but dont allow food in the play area. They do have lots of tables and chairs outside to eat at though. They have a water area for kids to put their feet in only and a little coffee shop for the adults"

"Fun place for toddlers and young kids, but even my infant had fun when I jumped with him in one of the hanging bridges. The best part is ...it is indoor, perfect for this cold weather. It has a coffee shop attached that has cheap coffee."
