We really love bringing our son to Gymboree. We usually come at least once a week, the staff is so friendly and engaging with the children.
We have been on crazy days with tons of kids, and slow days with only a few. No matter what, the staff is attentive and watchful while helping the kids enjoy themselves. It's great that it offers free play but also organized activities. The separate art room is good for a break from the playground area.
