The smaller kids area was on the left and on the right was like the more Advanced adult side. My kids enjoyed every bit of their time here. The coaches were very patient and friendly with both my kiddos. I loved that they pushed them a little more to keep them motivated to keep trying on obstacles that they couldn't get the 1st time. I could watch them the entire time and was able to see their progress and movement while they were on each course. Such a fun experience especially if you're trying to keep your kids busy during summer. The kids did leave with sore hands but that just shows that they had a lot of fun. We will be joining another class again soon.

I have been going to Jungle Gym for over a year now and it is a great place…read more Everyone is super nice and helpful and it really has a family feel. I started going there to train for OCR races and I ended up signing up with the gym to run around 5 of them so far. Ive also got a bunch of friends to start coming and even run some races too. I am very glad to have found this place and the community that comes along with it and recommend everyone come in a check them out!!!

I've recently become a stay at home mom and I'm looking for more to do in the Clearwater area. A…read morefriend recommended the aquarium which I somehow had never been to! Well it turns out it's much more economical to be a member so we splurged on the 4-person membership for around $240. The staff is all super nice. It was a weekday so rather than paying $14 for parking (members only pay $7 with validation) we found free street parking. My 4 year old loved the touching tank upon entry and we learned about how lobsters shed their shells. It's a mixture of old and new structures so it can get confusing to navigate but we figured it out for the most part. Another favorite was the stingray area as well because you can get wet. I personally couldn't locate the otters but I will make it my mission next time. Lots of scheduled presentations! I think we will find plenty of reasons to come back. I noticed they also have a food court. Would love to see some sort of splash pad addition like at the one in Tampa. There is a cute waterfront playground just a stone's throw away!

Which turned out to be a caveat because apparently today was a day everybody decided to come to the aquarium. If you didn't already know this is where "Dolphims Tale" emanated from. Florida is and has always been dedicated to the preservation and rescue and Rehabilitation of the marine species and environment. The drive out here is something.

Edit-The reviewer below is correct...it is a field trip/camp destination, but shouldn't be listed under museums if it is not open to the public. When some friends were in town, we looked up things to do and this came up. We went there and were told that it wasn't open to the public. We asked when we could come back and were told they were only open to the public once a month for a movie night but you can't go to the second floor. I just want to warn people here that it is not a place you can just go to like every other museum.

Oh, this was such a fun night!…read more My friend had been here before. She has a long history of knowing fun places-and I happily followed her here. It was everything I hoped for and more. It's so colorful and cheerful inside. You can feel the creativity flowing and gelling. Inspo is everywhere. The staff were so welcoming and supportive-especially to someone who still paints like an elementary school kid (that would be me). We paid $10 for the special ghouls night out session... but I've heard you can do walk ins, too. There are shelves full of all sorts of figures and plates and other pottery to choose from. The prices are on the bottom-and that covers the paint and the firing. My friend and I had a table to ourselves-and could spread out our snacks and drinks (they had cupcakes, cookies and small cans of soda available but you can also byob and foods. We brought charcuterie items, champagne and pumpkin doughnuts). It was such a relaxing and happy experience-painting, snacking and chatting. The staff checks on you. You can also go ask for more paint at any time. My spider won't win any awards-but he sure was fun to decorate! I can't wait to see how he'll look after firing. I'm told the colors will darken. It should be ready for pickup in about a week. I'm told they have art classes, day camps and summer camps and that you can hold parties here. It's fun for all ages and I may bring my mom, sister and niece here for some three generation bonding. It's a comfortable space with lots of easy parking available. I'm already looking forward to going back. See you there?!

After pulling my children out of this place, I felt the need to actually sit them down and…read moreapologize for ever sending them there in the first place. Shame on me for not doing enough research prior to sending them. This place is a disaster run entirely by kids. They lack proper training, level of supervision protocols, compassion, and just common sense. They need an adult in the room and sadly, there are none. The owner, Ric Martin is almost never present, has a terrible attitude if you can even get him on the phone, and is no way concerned with how to improve the overall experience for the children. The trouble here clearly starts at the top. Please do not make the same mistake I made. Send your kids to a place with a staff that is held accountable to providing an exemplary experience for your children. Your kids deserve better. Another major concern I had was safety. They do NOT check IDs when you pick up your child, so anyone can walk in and pick up any child and the "kids running the show" would have no idea. It's amazing this place hasn't had someone taken like this before, but then again, maybe it has. Not ok.

Some were potty trained, others were not. He fit right in and the teachers were wonderful with helping him learn!! They have these cute kiddy size potties that are perfect for toddlers! The teachers are all well versed and wonderful. I remember asking him who his friends were after he had been attending regularly for two weeks. He told me his teacher, Ms. Pamela, was his best friend. I thought that was the cutest and majorly reassuring as a mother to hear! Kids enter into a locked area, and have a nice routine. Parents are given a daily journal explaining what their child did all day, how well they ate their snacks and lunch, when and how long they napped, when and if they used the potty (with or without an accident) and then additional comments. Each child is celebrated on their birthday. The school is creative and has a nice play ground. The school is organized, clean, friendly and safe. The hours start at 6:30 AM and end at 5:30 PM. Their availability worked wonders for my work schedule. The best part is my son has never been happier!! Every time we drive by the school during off hours, he wants to return. He is well adjusted, learning a lot, and making wonderful friends. We're so thankful for Little Lambs Christian Preschool! I highly recommend them with all my heart!
