There's a ninja course, rock climbing, zip line, ropes course, and huge slides. And the best part is that it's all included in the ticket price! No annoying up-charges.

The price can seem a bit high, but it is worth the quality and amount you are getting.

There are two huge slides to ride on, which are both scary and fun. There's an aerial aspect where you can do obstacles on a mounted system.

This place is like a magical wonderland for kids! They have the largest art room I've ever seen--seriously, it's big enough to host a small art heist! And guess what? Everything in there is free to use with the cost of admission! I felt like I hit the jackpot! Plus, there's a rock climbing wall, which is a nice touch. Nothing says "family fun" like watching your kids scale a wall while you sip your coffee and contemplate your life choices! The place is decked out with fun artwork and quirky characters that make it feel like a playground straight out of a storybook. And they even have a treehouse! I half-expected to find a squirrel in a top hat serving snacks up there! Located in a shopping plaza, this spot is perfect for hitting up before or after errands. Who knew you could combine grocery shopping with a mini adventure? I highly recommend taking your kiddos here for a day filled with fun and laughter. It's a win-win for parents and kids alike--because a tired child is a happy child!

The Duke Lemur Center is staffed with friendly, knowledgeable staff who are truly excited to tell…read moreyou all about lemurs! We had a wonderful time. There wasn't a question we had that our excellent tour guide couldn't answer for us. She knew all of the lemurs by name, in addition to knowing what types of lemurs they were. We were there for about 2 hours, and we toured the veterinary and research facilities, the nocturnal area, the lemurs usual little cage homes, and then the external exclosure area where they could roam free within an outside area. The external exclosure was especially fun, as we could just walk among the trees & bamboo as they lept from tree to tree overhead. At the end, they brought us to the gift shop, and then also gave us all an educational magazine. They require donations in exchange for the tour, and all tours MUST be booked in advance (so look online before you just show up!). However, if you are looking for something truly unique to explore while in Durham, I can't recommend this enough.

The docents are so knowledgeable and it's clear that the staff care so much about the lemurs and the preservation work that they do. The son of Jovan (from Zoboomafoo) Ferdinand actually lives here, which is so cool. Besides lemurs, they also have bush babies that are on a nocturnal cycle in an indoor space. Make sure to make an online reservation before going. This experience is well worth it when in the Durham area!

I can't say this often for indoor playgrounds (as they are typically overstimulating and smell like…read morefeet) but I'm elated to write this review today about Hyper Kidz in Durham, NC. Our experience was top notch. The prices are extremely affordable compared to other indoor playgrounds and trampoline parks and they also offer a military discount on top of that. The soft play was executed well. We've been to several play places around the US to include Urban Air, Get Air, Jump Sky High (all trampoline parks) and Kids Empire type places and this one was the best out of all of them. The availability of separate play spaces for different ages was awesome. However, I truly believe the main reason this experience was as positive as it was is mostly due to the management of Daquan (DQ) and his staff. DQ was cleaning the entire time we were there. From vacuuming, to spraying and wiping down, to tidying up and interacting with kids... he was doing it all with excellence. His other staff member was super friendly as well. If other places had employees with work ethic even a tenth of the caliber DQ had, the world would be a better place and businesses would thrive. Hyper Kidz should take note and take good care of him! DQ, if you see this and want a career change in Florida, feel free to reach out and connect!

Mount Merrill Play-MOUND, part of Durham Central Park, is a true picture of what Durham is and how…read morethe community comes together to create and better our wonderful city. What began as a kickstarter project to make Durham Central Park an even better destination spot and give kids an activity, quickly took off. The community came together and raised $200,000 to fund the park. In addition to the food truck rodeos, skate park, farmers market and summer concert series that Durham Central Park offers, they now offer Mount Merrill, The play-mound offers two slides, a climbing net, great amphitheater seating, a ramp up to a "look-out!" area (you have to stretch your imagination here a bit), a boulder climb (mostly just piles of rocks) and lots of sculptural art (that was previously in the park and now is claimed by Mount Merrill). While Mount Merrill can't compare to many other play structures in the area, the tiny small mound is a lot of fun for kids of all ages (I too enjoy the big slide!) and I hope to see some improvements made to it in the summer months. Durham Central Park, with the addition of Mount Merrill, has quickly become a place for the whole family and a destination that I can see my nieces and nephews taking their children someday, just like I've taken them. Good job Durham, keep up the community building! I love the idea, it's just the size of the park that gives it a three-star, hopefully they'll add on to it in the summer!
