The dinosaur exhibits such as Tinker the T-Rex and The World's Largest Dinosaurs have garnered quite a bit of excitement in the past.

The Discovery Center is located near many Boise favorites such as Julia Davis Park, the Boise River, Boise Rose Garden, and the Boise Zoo. This makes it easy to turn a trip to The Discovery Center into a full day of good times. If there's a feature of interest, I would recommend making the time to visit!

The instructors are very good with keeping children focused on the activities. As a parent, I understand this is not an easy task to do for the children in the age range of 3-4 years old. All children in the class listen very well and participate in the activities for the entire 45 minutes! I am very pleased with the program here. As for the staff, I would say they are not as friendly as I expected. Maybe I'm too used to smiley and willing people in Boise? The staff there don't seem to engage in the conversation much, not to mention they lack a bit of friendliness. Regardless, I plan on keeping my kiddo in the program for a while. If anything changes, i will update the review.

This review is for the daycare…read more We just pulled our child out of daycare here. He came home one day and told us about an incident he had with another student. The incident itself is the kind of thing that happens at any school or daycare; However, how he described the response to the incident from his teacher was concerning to us. Additionally, this was in the context of other concerning statements (made to our child and to us) by a couple of different teachers at Wings. I reached out to the director, Athena Schmitz, who promised to discuss the specific incident with the teacher and our general concerns with all of the teachers. She promised to follow-up with me via a phone call. We received a very vague apology via a message from the teacher without explanation for the incident or her response. It is now about a month later and I never received a call from Athena as was promised. It's disappointing that our concerns were not important enough to her for her to follow through on. Beyond this, overall we noticed a big change in our child's enthusiasm for the Wings Center. At first he loved it. He enjoyed his teacher and planet kid (their big playground). Recently he hasn't wanted to go. When we asked if he wanted to keep going there or find a different school he very consistently expressed he did not want to go to Wings anymore. My gut feeling is that he's had other negative experiences there that he hasn't told us about. There are plenty of great daycares in the area. If you are looking for something similar to Wings, we checked out Bodies in Motion and were impressed. They also have a big indoor playground and the ratio of students to teachers there is more appropriate (it costs a little more but you get what you pay for). Ultimately, when it comes to daycare, the peace of mind from knowing that our child is being treated well and cared for is the most important factor for us. If your experience is like ours, you won't get that from Wings. I recommend against Wings Center for child care.

Worse administrator ever you can't talk to her she runs and hides she's a coward. One teacher told my child to shut up for the rest of the day.

If you want your child to have low self-esteem and doubts about their character just send them to the wing center..it's dirty and it smells.

My two boys, ages 8 and 10, took the beginner golf class, which was advertised as a camp for ages…read more5-10. It quickly became clear that this class should be advertised for a younger age group--perhaps 5-7 years old, at the most. The equipment looked like the kind of clubs you'd buy for toddlers and my sons repeatedly told me after class that the coaches spent hardly any time working on the golf games. Basically put out equipment with minimal instructions (ie. see who can hit the ball the farthest, or try to get the ball to land on this target) but no other, more in-depth coaching. I would have at least expected the coaches to teach kids the basics. "Today we're going to work on PUTTING. Putting is for ____ and you use such-and-such clubs when you need to put." Maybe some information about how you actually play golf, how you score, how to accurately hold the clubs, perhaps? I get that there were a number of young children, but even young kids can begin to absorb these concepts and there could have been some effort to separate into two groups, so that the older kids could be given more detail. It seemed as though the kids spent more time playing tag, running around with soccer balls, doing handstands in the grass, and otherwise playing around without any structure or goals or actual coaching from the coaches. After my boys second day, when they again told me they spent about ten minutes with the golf equipment and the rest of the time was spent running around doing whatever they wanted, I decided to stick around the next day to observe. In the hour that I was there, I found they didn't exaggerate as much as I had hoped. Thirty minutes after the class was supposed to start, they finally put out the golf equipment and it seemed highly voluntary if the kids wanted to come and see what the game was involving them. I saw very little effort to coral kids, explain concepts, or do anything coordinated. When I returned a half-an-hour before class ended, I witnessed the same--kids running around in various groups doing whatever they wanted while the coaches stood around talking together. The soccer camp that happened to be taking place in the same field seemed to spend more time doing actual soccer-related activities, although the young coaches from the golf camp were more interested in chatting up the woman coaching the soccer camp than teaching the kids anything. One of the days, my boys said 911 had to be called because a little boy was swinging a club and bashed another kid in the face. Obviously accidents happened, but I asked if the coaches had even gone over any safety, like looking behind you before you swing. Not surprisingly, they said no. The coaches don't really explain anything, except, essentially, "hit these balls here". My boys came home from this "camp" having learned absolutely nothing. They got to practice hitting the balls for a few minutes each day, but they could have done that at home. In fact, we have a kids golf-club set that we bought used on OfferUp that looked to be better quality than what this camp had to offer. It was very frustrating to witness this level of unprofessionalism, not fulfilling anything described on the registration. I basically paid $340 for my kids to play Red Rover for three hours a day. Given that they were actually hoping to learn more about golf and we thought this would be a great introduction, this was incredibly frustrating. The only positive thing about this camp was that my kids spent time outside, being active.

Our elementary aged kid has enrolled in the Skyhawks camp two years in a row now (kindergarten and…read morefirst grade), and we've had an excellent experience. We signed up for the soccer/baseball/basketball camp, which is 3 hours long. My kid has fun, and has sufficient time to rest in the shade and eat snacks as needed. The coaches are young, but work really well with the younger kids and are very sweet, and extremely patient. With the younger kids (ie Kinder to first grade), it's like herding cats at times, and all the coaches are patient and are nice and friendly. Our camp is at the local elementary school in Kirkland, WA, and there is also access to a bathroom (porta-potty). Pick up and drop off is easy, and the camp is in a safe and fenced area. Overall, I've been very happy with Skyhawks, and my son comes home happy and excited to go back the next day. The variety of sports is sufficient to keep his attention over the course of his afternoon so he doesn't get bored. We will be in a new area next year, and hope our experience will be just as good next summer!

I hope to one day take the analog course and delve back into actual film! But wait, there is more. Not only can you do photography here, you can also take art painting lessons, and summer camps for kids are also available. Heidi also does an introductory course using Adobe's Lightroom for editing your digital photos.

My daughter has been taking gymnastics lessons here for over a year now…read more PROS: The instructors are kind and competent Safety is taken seriously Kids are taught "real" gymnastics. Even the young, recreational gymnasts are taught proper terminology, safety, and basic skills. Not just tumbling about. Affordable. They're great about make up days if your kid is sick and misses their day. You can set up auto-pay and they'll just email you the invoice every month. CONS: As someone else said, you will *never* get ahold of them via phone. Email, however, they do respond to promptly. It is messy. Not un-hygienic, but definitely not sparkling clean either.
