  • I went to Imagination Avenue for the first time recently. I have 4 small children - all under 5. My nanny has been several times with my kids and they all love it. I was eager to take them and check out the space. Overall, I really liked it. I especially loved the fire trucks and other vehicles they could drive around on the painted "road." The main play space is set up like a small town, which I found charming. My children especially loved the hospital area, where there was a small bed for the "patient" and they could administer shots and take temperatures. My son also loved the train table with trains. I went on a Thursday so we could attend the story time. I was excited about it because we LOVE story times. We are regulars at story time at both the Phoenix and Scottsdale libraries and Pottery Barn Kids. We also go to Barnes and Nobel when we can. I saw on Facebook that the story time would be "musical" and would include a story about an instrument. I thought this was a creative twist and was looking forward to it. It was, sadly, extremely disappointing. I did not find the instructor to be very engaging and she didn't read loud enough so the children could hear her. (It IS loud because of the children playing in the other area but surely there is a way to address this.). She read 4 books in a row, one about a flute (the instrument she brought to show the kids) but didn't sing a single song. I don't consider that musical. Even if she didn't have a CD player to play, she could have at least sang a few songs. She did allow the children to "try" the instruments, which was fun for them. However, the WORST part - she had a tip jar. Seriously. I found this outrageous and ridiculously tacky. If story time is "included" in the cost of admission, I don't want to feel pressure to pay additional money. If you want to charge per child, that is fine, but to offer a "free" class and ask for tips, I feel is inappropriate. That said, I liked everything else about the Imagination Avenue and I look forward to returning to play with my children. It is a great indoor option for the summer!
