We had so much fun taking the kids here. The charge is only $7 for 2 and a half hours. The kids get wore out because they have to go through an obstacle course to get to the slide, or they have to climb for ever to go down the slide. The younger kids may not want to go down the slide alone. It took a while for our 3 year old to warm up to it. I had to go down with him a couple of times, but it was a good work out for me too. The place is full of kids. It did get a little crowded, but it was still worth it. You definitely will need socks.
