I started bringing my son here when he was one. He is 2 now and still loves this place. We mainly come on the free first friday's and when there are groupon specials. However, I do plan to buy us a membership as the free first friday's are just getting too caotic for me. I've been here on a normal paid day and the cost of the membership is well worth the lack of crowds lol. This place is awesome either way and my kid LOVES it here so we plan to continue coming back!
