This is a fantastic place to bring the whole family--fun for all ages! For just $9 per person (kids…read moreand adults), you get access to a huge indoor play space filled with themed areas like a veterinary clinic, grocery store, mechanic garage, painting station, dinosaur zone, and more. There are also sensory stations that encourage imagination and creative exploration. A brand-new indoor water area is set to open on June 10th, which will be an exciting addition. The outdoor space is just as impressive, featuring nature trails, a sandbox, water play area, treehouse, bikes, and more. We especially appreciated the separate toddler-only zones that keep the littlest ones safe while they play. With so much to do, we easily spent around 3 hours exploring. You're welcome to pack a lunch and enjoy it at one of the indoor picnic tables or outside in the peaceful pollinator garden. Highly recommend for a fun, interactive, and affordable family outing!

We had the greatest time here with our Grandson. He is 17 months old and played for 2 1/2 hours…read moreand could have played longer but we needed to go eat lunch. There are many activities that entertain kids and I would say up to ten maybe. Some of the areas included were painting, grocery store, a car repair shop, restaurant, water feature, air flow type activities, small area for toddlers, outdoor activities, blocks, plus many more things. I like that adults have to be with children in order to enter. We decided to go ahead and get a year long membership. With the membership I could put my grandchildren on it and they can even go with their parents if we are not with them at no charge. There are also workers spread throughout the area who are so very kind and do a great job at keeping the place picked up and organized.

Each week I was amazed at what was being taught in pre-k on top of the normal curriculum: chess tournaments, space week, music, animals and their habitats, etc. It was pretty amazing to have my 4yr old come home one day and tell me an elephant is an herbivore because "they only eat vegetables". We were in Topeka only temporarily and winded up extending our stay solely so that our daughter could finish pre-k and summer camp here. It was such a blessing to have found this school and are so thankful for the time our daughter was a student here. Thank you for all you guys do each and every day. We will miss y'all so much!

The director is fantastic, friendly, and helpful. Our daughter loves her teachers and has grown and learned there.

For a company that boasts inclusivity and diversity on their website, they sure didn't seem like…read moreit. When told it's a first come first serve facility, after finding out our child has special needs we were told we'd have to wait for 5 other tours (because of THEIR mistake) to be completed before having a spot available- and that's only if all five declined enrollment. Corporate's only course of action was to give us a day to see if it'd be a good fit. Even a "normal" kid would need more than a day to adjust. Why waste my time or my son's time with a director who seems like they'd look for any reason not just to accept him into their program? Ridiculous. I had high hopes and was seriously disappointed.

I do not appreciate them lying about a child's behavior to get out of watching them like they did…read moremy son. They claimed that my 1-year-old son was throwing chairs and kicked a 3-year-old in the face. Really? Because a 1-year-old has that much strength and can kung fu kick a three year old in their face right? Not to mention the owner stated that she didn't know my son was 1, even though my husband clearly advised her of this upon his admission. But the day they wanted to make an excuse not to watch him anymore, all of a sudden they had no idea of my child's age? That's absolutely disgusting. I do not recommend this place to anyone. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

There is NO structure, NO disciplin, NO teaching, NO direction. Breakfast of toast and frozen strawberries was served on KLEENEX with no silverware and no milk or juice which is against KDHE guideline. Lunch was half a hamburger and veggies, served on paper towels with no silverware again served with no milk. The kids were brought in from outside (where they were playing with no socks, no shoes in rock) no hands were washed before lunch was served, it even the teachers. It was just an awful experience.
