    We attended a session for babies (18 mo and under) and our little one had a blast. It was great for her to be able to explore and play without worrying about older kids running her over.

    Really cute place for little ones. Not as fun for older (ages 8 and up). Or it could just be my 8 and 10 year old that aren't as interested in it.
