This place is just magical! Why wasn't this around when I was a kid? The moment you walk through the door you are transported to a child's imagination of color and whimsy. Giant paper mache creatures float above your head and a cyclone of children's toys twists and climbs up to the ceiling.
I would be more than willing to pay an entrance fee for the kind of art and entertainment they provide, but luckily it's free! It was the perfect place to bring my friend's twin toddler girls. Talk about a cheap family outing: Park at the 7th street parking deck, get validated at the 7th street market for 90 minutes and grab a coffee, walk across the track to the library for story time (I call it dance in the bubbles while knocking down tiny children time), then cross the track again back to the market for a large pizza to share.
It was all absolutely wonderful and they have so many fun events for kids of all ages on their calendar that I can see this being the perfect family weekly ritual.
