This is not a place you are likely to stay all day because of the size. But with a child under six, you could spend a good two hours here. I read some other reviews that are down on it for being so small, but I imagine it costs a fortune to maintain even a small place in this economy. I'd say the concession area has to be that size for parties, which are likely a large part of the revenue stream. I look at it for what it is: an opportunity to let little ones run around and burn off some steam while the guardian gets to breathe for a minute. I was thankful for this and thought the employees were quite friendly.
