This is the perfect cure for rainy-day blues with preschoolers/toddlers. There's a little "town" of miniaturized shops and homes, complete with props and costumes. There's a beauty parlor, grocery store, ice cream shop, post office, fire station, and more, and a miniature trolley car with a slide in it. It's inexpensive and good for several hours at least, and you can return later on in the day (after lunch at Panera's for example!) for another go 'round. With plenty of seating for grown ups and tables for snacks it's a great place to stop.
