A blast for the kids! They really try to accommodate parents here as well but I personally couldn't sit back in the lounge and not keep an eye on the kids. I'm sure for the right age range it's a perfect feature for parents. It is nearly impossible to keep track of them from the bottom at every point because there are so many ins and outs. The only thing I would change is maybe some sort of barrier or security feature at the front to prevent younger kids from being able to easily slip by. I could see that happening when they are really busy but for now just gotta try to follow and keep an eye as best you can.
