As seen in:
Truly this children’s entertainment center is jumpin’ and jammin!
The huge, main, multi-story play structure has large plastic tubes to crawl through, slides to zip down, bridges to cross, nets to climb up, inflatable
and foam obstacle courses to power through, large balls to roll around on, a
fountain that gushes out colorful foam balls, and “cannons” to launch soft
foam balls at other guests. This is an ideal play place to let off some
steam and have a blast doing it. Adults are invited to join in the fun, too.
Other activities include a bounce house and an interactive area that
you can program to become a dance floor or to play games, such as dodgeball.
Toddlers have a separate, enclosed space just for them with soft foam
objects to play on. Each child has a wristband that corresponds to the adult
that brought them. Socks must be worn at all times.
No outside food may be brought in, but since you’re in a mall, there
are plenty of places to grab lunch or just a snack before or after your
visit. Try Islands for burgers, El Torito Grill, or the pizzeria, and top it
off with a visit to Marble Slab Creamery or Kellys’ Coffee and Fudge. The
mall also features Howie’s Game Shack, Edwards Theaters, and COLOR ME MINE
paint-it-yourself ceramic store.
I've been there only once and it was months ago but I think my 5 year old is still sweating from it! She went on two of the three jumpers so many times I lost count within 15 minutes. What great exercise! At first I stayed close by and watched in case she needed help climbing or was afraid to slide down but boy, that tentativeness was gone after the first run and I got to hang out with the other moms and just smile and watch them all have a blast...well, ok, so I did sneak in one run on the giant slide but who can resist?! When we got home, she told me she wanted her birthday party there for sure! Well, never mind that it isn't until December but gotta love that thinking ahead!!
The reason I hesitated to give a higher rating on value was that there were only really 3 things to do but that didn't seem to bother my daughter or any of the other kids. Rates seemed a bit pricy to me, especially for birthday parties, but I guess it's average for what you get these days especially since they seem to enjoy themselves so much. It's not very asthetically pleasing either but again, maybe only I noticed.

Great indoor play for all ages and affordable! One section for kiddos to play who are not walking yet and still in diapers the rest of the area is open to all ages. Suitable for moms to socialize a little and/or sit while the little ones burn off energy. Great for hot summer days and cool/rainy winter days.
We went here on a cloudy monday morning and had a blast! if you arrive before noon, you can print a coupon off of their website and get in for $7/child (under 2 free). It is very accessible off of the freeway and has a ton for an adventurous toddler to do. The play equipment is unique and clean. They have a nice snack area with vending machines and tables. We will definitely go back!
