Wow! I went today and am absolutely floored by my experience!…read more The owner and his daughter were so incredibly welcoming and made sure to be inclusive of every person on the tour. The animals are beautiful, well cared for, and in spacious enclosures. (I can't fathom the negative reviews that I read criticizing them, it's simply not true!) The details: -tours are at 10,12,2&4 -the only restrooms are porta potty's - there is ample parking! -there is a hand wash station for when you're done with the tour with running water soap and paper towels -Definitely wear closed toe shoes as you'll be walking inside of the animal's enclosures. -there are a lot of picnic tables and chairs (and even swings!) to hang out and wait before your tour begins

I've been here two or three times before with my daughter when she was littler, and her friends…read morewere little, too. We loved it. It's so neat to be able to touch animals that few people see, let alone pet. I have a picture of her as a small child, almost lying on top of a wallaby in the sun. So, when a friend from Seattle asked that I meet her halfway from my north end location, this was the outing I chose for the day. The tour wasn't as long as I remembered it being, and the marsupials weren't quite as snuggly. However, the variety was amazing. There were tiny baby lemurs on display, a mama wallaby with a baby in her pouch, burros, kissing alpacas, emus you could pet... it's a pretty unique experience. I only removed one star because I felt rushed through. In the past I don't recall feeling like I was being held to a tight time limit, and that was a little disappointing. Overall, it's a cool experience, and I highly recommend it-- especially for those with children.

The park is handicap accessible with a ramp up to the top level of the playground. There are two age group playgrounds. The sign that is posted says 5-7 but a 3 year old can easily play on the little playground with lots of slides. There are no swings however, but there are public bathrooms that were very clean. The park is also connected to the skate park. There are a few picnic benches for lunch time but no covered areas to escape the rain. The park is not fenced off so you need to keep an eye out for little ones. It is an awesome park with lots of activities to keep little ones entertained.

We lots of discipline, we got our tickets and entered the incredible children's museum. You walk into a woodland wonderland and it only gets better from there. We are pretty partial to our home museum in Cincinnati and haven't found a better one but this comes very close. Theres so many interactive areas. There is a treehouse down toward the right when you walk in along with a small town. A walk on airplane that allows kids to work with parcels, a train engine you can walk into with model train set behind. A water station as well as stairs to the outdoor portion with an extensive jungle gym, musical instruments, mini golf, and an excavation site with dinosaurs! They had science exhibits for older kids and younger kids alike. A toddler area as well. You could keep any kid toddler to about 10 years of age entertained for hours. Parking isn't free unless you can snag a coveted spot in front but it's not too pricey. Admission is $22 a person. They have last half hour free during summer which is nice. Staff are dressed in purple and nothing but kind and friendly. There is a cafe at the top (well, a "food truck" theme) and tables and benches to eat. Looked like you could pack your own food. Also looked like you could host birthday parties and field trips. All in all, impressive children's museum. We can't wait to come back!

I was worried about being disappointed after seeing some of the other negative reviews but I ended…read moreup being very pleasantly surprised! I'm 22 and came here with my 2-year-old, my 23-year-old best friend and her 6-year-old nephew on a Friday from 7pm-9pm. It was $28 for a jump pass for the 6-year-old, but my 2-year-old was free. Socks are only $4 a pair, so I spent ~$8 on socks for my toddler and I. I asked one of the employees if I was able to accompany my toddler and she said yes, of course. This place was so cool! There are three large play place/jungle gym type buildings with slides, bridges, little swings, etc inside that are so much fun to explore. And lots of trampolines, including a "7 and under" area for little ones. I was really glad that it wasn't too crowded when we went. I am a germ freak and was glad that the bathrooms were clean and garbages were maintained unlike some other reviews had mentioned. I am curious about their cleaning/sanitizing details/schedule for all the surfaces of the park, arcade, and everything BUT nothing seemed dirty to me. The employees were friendly and helpful! I do agree with some other reviews that their employees seem to be predominantly young teenagers, and interested in chatting with each other but I did not find this to be an issue at all. I think parents definitely need to keep an eye on their own kids--I could see how bullying could occur with larger kids and little kids, but in my opinion it is the parent's responsibility to watch their own kids and make sure they are not bullying or being bullied. If you have little kids running around the park you should keep an eye on them for safety anyways, since trampolining is technically an extreme sport. I liked that the employees were attentive and doing their patrols and yet didn't come across as 'hovering'. As a young mom who likes to join in on the trampoline and play areas with my child, I can sometimes get self-conscious and feel like I'm being judged for seeming too childish but I didn't feel that way at all here. The arcade area is also cool, we got two $10 cards and they didn't last very long lol. Was nice that everything accepted Apple Pay. Overall, I think this place is wonderful and I am even considering getting a monthly subscription!

We have been participating in camps and classes since 2016, and have never been let down. My older kids are currently in day camp with many great counselors! They are excited to go on the field trips offered as part of the camp. My third is in mini camp now, and loves it.
