| - What a wonderful addition to our community! I looked all over for a place like this when my first son was an infant. I'm so glad we finally have something like this!
It's clean. It's well lit. Everything was in good working order. It's safe for crawlers and walkers alike. There were things my 1 year old and my elementary school son could do together, and things that would keep them busy independently. A place that welcomes the kids of both ages is really hard to come by, and we value it greatly.
I love that they allow you to bring snacks and drinks in and provide a place to enjoy them, along with a sink, a microwave, and a coffee maker. They do have drinks and kid friendly snacks available for purchase, too. I also like that they allow that you can come and go the whole day.
The Owner was there while we were there and he was fastidious about checking on toys, cleaning up, and sanitizing, all while still manning the front desk.
What I really loved was the "intangible" of common sense being valued here. Everything is safe, but there aren't a ton of rules, as long as everyone is playing safely. So when my son and another child wanted to go jumping with the stuffed animals on the trampoline, there was no one chasing after them to tell them they couldn't. They really just let kids be kids and play as their imaginations lead them. What a breath of fresh air.
I have two small suggestions--please put baby gates or barriers between the trampoline cage and the wall--my son snuck back there quicker than I could catch him. Also, please hang signs on the bathroom doors asking people to close them when they leave so babies stop trying to crawl in there.
I do wish membership was more affordable (it's more costly than the zoo, the Children's Museum, and the aquarium), but we'll be back as often as budget allows. We had a wonderful time!
My older son is standing next to me as I write this and wanted me to make sure I posted this: "I had a great time and I even made a new friend and we played on the trampoline."
Thank you for creating this wonderful place in our community!
