This was the first time my daughter ever went to an indoor playground and she really enjoyed it. She’s a timid one, so she was a little overwhelmed by the number of kids there initially (a daycare group was visiting), but they soon left for lunch break and it got a little quieter.
The toys in this place are well-suited to toddlers & young children, and everything is pretty safe with plenty of padding on the floor. I felt comfortable just letting my daughter explore with little supervision.
They don’t sell food here, but I liked the fact that we could bring in our own snacks. There were a couple of long, kid-sized tables with chairs for the kids to eat at. There are also a few food options in the strip mall upstairs (McDonald’s, Daisy Mart convenience store, Mamma’s Pizza, a Chinese restaurant).
The woman who runs the place is quite accommodating. I went with a friend who had a 9 month old, and the woman let my friend use her kettle to boil water for her baby’s food and let her use the kitchen area to nurse her baby in private.
There are two washrooms that look pretty clean for the amount of traffic they get. Only one of them has a change table.
Quick Tips for Others:
It might be a good idea to call ahead to ask if there are any daycare groups in attendance, so you can avoid the crowds.
If you forget to bring socks, I think the place sells kids slipper socks for around $10. I saw a bag of them on a table near the entrance.

This place was great. My daughter keeps asking to go back to this place. I really liked that there is a place for parents to sit as well as chairs for the little ones. Most of the play things are geared toward kids who are between the ages of 1-6 or 7.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
The only negative is that there is no cell reception as they are in the basement.
Quick Tips for Others:
Bring snacks of your own as there are none for sale but there is a McDonalds in the plaza if your little one is hungry after playing.
I was amazed at how helpful the lady that ran this place is. I threw my back out while I was there with my three kids and she went to see if she had anything in the office that I could take to ease the pain. When my husband got there to pick us all up she helped us upstairs and to the car, carrying one of the kids so my husband wouldn’t have to carry both of the babies. This was definitely a case of above and beyond. Based on this experience I would definitely go back. There is a level of caring there for the people who frequent the play centre that you don’t get at many places.

My daughter played with everything!! And even explored toys & climbing structures that she was always hesitant to try before – I would go back for sure!
Good to Go!:
My daughter had an amazing time here! She was 2 1/2 at the time of our visit. She played with everything! She even did new things like go up a 4 story climbing structure & slide down the slide! It was a fun time. Open space means you can see your little one no mater where they are.
Snack table with chairs, free coffee for parents. Microwave in the back room.
2 washrooms with changing table.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
No cell phone reception since it’s in the lover level of the mall, so warn your partner if they usually call you during the day.
No snacks for sale, so bring your own if you don’t want to disrupt your little one from playing to go upstairs to the pharmacy / daisy mart to buy something.
No mini-toilet or training seat for toddlers who are potty training.
Quick Tips for Others:
Free parking in the mall parking lot.
Mc Donalds (with drive true) in the mall.

- My son loved the ride-in cars (he really just likes sticking his fingers in the wheels and turning them ), bouncy castle, he pulled himself up on the small climbing structure in the middle, and was very happy to sit and watch the other kids play.
- $3 is a good deal for an indoor playground if your child is under 1 year!
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
- Only a few baby toys.
- Lots of good toys and equipment for toddlers (I’m sure my daughter would love it here) but not a lot of room to play with the cars!
- I would have liked to have the option to purchase small snacks for me since I tend to spend all my time packing for my kids and forget about myself There is a McD’s and Mr. Sub in the plaza but it’s more convenient to have something available on the premises.

We went back here yesterday and my friend pulled her back and couldn’t move (she had twin babies and her daughter there). The owner and other moms there were incredibly helpful while I got her medication to help her back and called her husband using the owner’s phone (cell phone reception is in and out because the play place is on the bottom floor). The moms bottle-fed the babies and the owner went well over and above helping her daughter go potty and then helping her and her husband take everything to the car. Thank you!!

My son had a great time exploring, climbing, sliding, and playing with all the cars. He was busy and having fun the whole time. I would definitely go back again.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
It could use a bit more space, but it didn’t stop my son from having a great time.
Quick Tips for Others:
Bring food and drinks.

The equipment was perfect for the toddler / preschool age group. Lots of cars, as well as the ones that go down the ramp. Price is pretty good. $6 per child $3 if under 1 year. Also for those paying full price, you get a card that gets stamped and after 10 visits you get a free visit. You can bring your own food and there are tables, chairs, and sofas to sit on. What I found neat for older ages is that they had a small climbing wall.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
Not very much space. Difficult to drive the cars around. Just a bit too much stuff for such a small space.
Quick Tips for Others:
Bring your own food and drink, they even have a microwave that you can use. No water or snack available, however they put on some coffee for the parents and there is a pharmacy upstairs with some drinks, and a daisy mart in the same little complex.
DONT FORGET YOUR SOCKS FOR ADULTS AND KIDS.
