If you have a special needs child you must learn about this place. They are ACTUALLY inclusive,…read moreunlike a lot of places that say they are but then ask you to not come back =D. Seriously- they understand what it's like to be turned away form places, or be told your child is too difficult. They made this space for us. They know how it is, and they never, ever turn a child away. They just make sure they have the right resources in place to accommodate them. They host free play sessions, and have very reasonable rates for paid activities. They have a drop-off social skills class every Saturday, and they run week long events during school breaks. My kid did SO well at this last one! Everyone there is so loving to all the kids, and so understanding. They work with them and make sure everyone feels special and loved. I can't say enough great things about this organization! We even had our sons last birthday party there!!!

The post race party is in the newly built gymnasium. Runners, volunteers and guests were treated to delicious chili, both with meat and without. The chilies were accompanied by shredded cheddar cheese, hot pepper flakes, chopped scallions and, of course, saltine crackers. There are 2 long tables set up; no waiting. Catering by Joe's Deli As this is a high school, there is no beer. There is water, soda pop, cookies and bananas also offered. A nice, if somewhat chilly course, and a really nice post race party.

Rainy Tuesdays are no match for this place! We were here on vacation and needed plans for the day…read more Friendship Fortress has a Tuesday deal where adults are free (normally $5) with a paying child ($15). Prices are very fair for everything included, especially since you're allowed to stay all day and you have re-entry on the daily pass. They do sell extremely limited food options, but with the re-entry you could easily go for food and come back. No outside food is allowed except water and baby formula. Fair. The amenities inside are perfect for toddler to elementary aged kids. When I asked my daughters if they liked it they said "Five stars! They even had a volcano slide! How cool is that?" It is really cool, to be honest. They also had a zip line, a ball pit, a rope bridge and imagination play. AND you can do all of this dressed like a princess. Every time I turned around my daughter was dressed in a different costume. We spent three hours here, no problem. They also advertised birthday parties, and a summer camp options. Everything was thoughtfully planned, from sanitizer stations and step stools in the bathrooms, to locker/cubbies for storing shoes and other belongings. Heads up! Socks are required for everyone- even parents. One minor issue was limited seating for adults who weren't playing, but thankfully that wasn't an issue late on a Tuesday evening. We had a blast here, and for $30 it was an easy outing for the wallet.

Food, crumbs and empty juice boxes on the ground. Toys and surfaces look like they are never cleaned and super unsanitary (especially with cold and flu season approaching). When I walked in there was no one at the front and I wasn't greeted at all. It was my first time coming and I was not impressed at all.

Both of my boys have thrived here, and truly came out as better men. The difference between what I…read moresee in the young men at St. Francis versus the public schools is striking. My sons and their friends can shake a man's hand and look them in the eye while being polite and respectful, can dress well and know how to impress, and have become more mature and responsible with each passing year. Both of them loved their time here and have no regrets.

What used to be the pinnacle of privates schools in New York is now just an embarrassing shadow of…read moreits former self. I allowed myself to be blind with loyalty and trust as an alumni, only to watch my son be disrespected, set up for failure and retaliated against by the so-called brotherhood of St. Francis. If you are considering this school for your son, keep in mind there is only one thing that matters to St Francis: MONEY. When you lower the standards, especially for a profit, the quality inherently falls

Locust Street is a treasure! They have free and low cost art classes for kids and adults…read more Each season, they have a selection of scheduled structured classes for which you can register for a small fee. Those classes very season to season- pen and ink animals, print making, special ceramics projects, photography, etc. I took a 3 session Monet class, a figure drawing class, and an intro to pottery wheel class for a fraction of what other clay studios charge. My Monet ended up hanging in the lobby. Each season, they also have open art studio time - kids drawing, teen/adult drawing and painting, ceramics, senior sessions, and more. Three week days and Saturdays the center is open and you can work on your own projects with an instructor on hand for questions or advice. All the materials are provided. Everything is free with suggested donation amounts. This is such a wonderful asset to our community.

There are 4 cooking stations and a head chef who explains the recipes. You then start to prep your food and then prepare it.

They have 4 floors with a wide variety of stations and things to do for the kids. If we didn't have to worry about nap time, we could probably spend the whole day there. If you have a Bank of America card, this museum is part of their Museum on us program- IYKYK. I also like the cafeteria where you can purchase snacks or meals for the kids. I appreciate that they don't police you, if you just use the space to eat your own packed snacks, just clean up after yourself is all they request. There's just so much to do. I would say the only issue we ran into was finding parking, but that's to expected at that side of town. Overall, a must for kids.
