in the last week5 stars BUT……before I explain how great this place is, I do want to make a couple suggestions. -seeing as it’s a children’s place, I was surprised there was no mothers room for me to breastfeed my little one. One of the employees was kind enough to offer me a party room to use, but it would be nice to have a quiet room to feed and attend to little one. -second thing is that the bathroom was a little unkept. Toilet paper all over the floor & full diaper genie but it did seem like they may have been slightly understaffed that day. Aside from those 2 things though, the place is great!!! Before coming people were telling me how the one is Tampa is so much better and I should just go there and though I have not been to that one yet and I’m sure it’s bigger, this was SO great for my 2 under 3. My toddler loved running around and playing pretend, the playground is so cute and such a fun adventure to climb & my crawler was so happy playing in the under 4 area full of soft play. (Heads up to staff though, I found little chocking hazard legos in that section that I did clean up but probably shouldn’t be in there, obviously a child brought it in but there should definitely be some more checks in there, again it did seem a little understaffed). I felt really safe there too with my children. Toddler would run around but since it’s a big square room with sections, it wasn’t hard to keep an eye on her. All the other kids and parents were nice and respectful as well. Will definitely be coming back & absolutely recommend it!

a week agoI was working as a nanny and took a 4 year old here to play and have fun. It is a very cool place and lots of fun things to play with and explore. But I was disappointed in the amount of children running around with no parents in sight to watch them! We were in the fire truck area and two older boys about 8 or 9 years old were throwing these hard big Lego type blocks. I nicely asked the boys to stop, before they hit someone with them. Never saw their parents and of course they didn’t listen. So I went and told a worker about the situation. Parents and guardians should be with in sight watching their children and not just be sitting somewhere on their phones. Also some play areas the carpet looks very worn and dirty.

a month agoKids really enjoyed this place, it was quite a drive from North Port. It's kind of underwhelming though, the pictures online kind of make it look like a lot more than it is. It's like the size of the common area of a library with cool areas sectioned off for the kiddos. It's sort of dated too. It's worth it if you're nearby for a cool indoor playground but definitely don't travel just to see it.
