It’s a great safe place for kids with lots of different fun activities. You can spend your entire day and make sure you enjoy the food from the small restaurant they have! Highly recommended! Big parking lot and a great playground are in walking distance.

Huge slide which is awesome for older kids but might be too big for some young ones. Really unique and cool playground with lots of things to climb on. Might be hard to reach your little if they get stuck near the top though.
