Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities. However frustrating when older/larger kids are wreaking havoc and abusing the equipment while moms are talking with their backs turned away from the playground. Don't be those moms.

My child enjoyed every opportunity to meet animals in a relaxed and educational environment. They have a wonderful playground outside and is free. The animal tour is $10 / adult and $3 for kids. Worth every penny, my kid had never enjoyed animals until this trip. The outdoor animals are in excellent comfort and clean areas. We fed goats and pigs. Then we went inside and saw Guinea pigs, rabbits, and a lizard! Phenomenal educational opportunity!! You do need a reservation for the animal tours and they have summer camp so call Ahead to make sure it's available. Parking is in the lot.

Unlike some of its competitors, they also have general Practice & Play classes that are open to all members, so if you need a rainy day activity for your little one on a non-class day, that's a great option.

I always felt a sense of magic whenever I walked the woods, gazed at the pond, and saw the joy on each child's face on the nature playground! I was always in awe of the unique activities and ideas flowing through the children and teachers! Ms. Carolyn is such an incredible soul who values children and offers each of them an invitation to receive an incredible love of learning. The foundational skills of curiosity, social interaction, creativity, exploration, and problem solving are rock solid after my child's preschool experience. His connection to nature and love for science couldn't be more beautiful. There is no other preschool in our area that comes close to this unique forest school experience. In addition, we took advantage of the summer camp offerings and birthday party packages as well!! We drove 25 min between our home and the school. It is worth every moment of commuting to give my child such a rich childhood experience. I plan to continue my relationship with Woodland Discovery when my youngest is old enough to begin!!

A friend recommended Drawn2Art studio, and its philosophy "creativity follows mastery" strongly resonates with me. I took my daughter to the intro class, and she had such a wonderful experience that she did not want to stop at the end of lesson. She has been taking classes for 4 months now and learned a great deal about painting with chalk, pastels, watercolors. she was very excited this week because she will proceed to acrylic paint next time. I have been amazed at how much progress she achieved every week. My daughter loves her instructor, Ms Sceinowai. She is very knowledgeable and patient art instructor and knows how to communicate with sassy girls. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

I was babysitting/"hanging out" with my 7-year-old nephew for the day and needed to find somewhere that would excite yet tire him out for a few hours. The place looks very unassuming upon pulling into the parking lot but once you enter, it's bright lights, colors, and games for days. In order to play the games, you have to buy cards, wristbands, etc at the front desk beforehand. Thankfully, we arrived right when it opened, so we walked right up and purchased the card for "bowling" and wristband for the bounce houses. The bowling (1 game = $3) set up does not include your typical bowling balls. They're smaller and much heavier. He was not the biggest fan of it but he L-O-V-E-D the bounce houses. There's four or five inflatable houses with various levels of difficulty and he went through all of them multiple times. The price for the bounce houses was $9.95 and allows your child to play ALL day. Best $10 I spent the entire day. The staff I encountered was very friendly and the facilities appeared very clean and well taken care of. Whenever I have children under my watch, I will be taking them here!
