We have received a blue foam replacement dice for a game we bought from you and we would like to say a big THANK YOU to you. The School Council purchased the game with funds raised through various activities and it was very unfortunate when one of the dice went missing. But now the children can continue to have fun with the game and we will be keeping a close eye on the dice! Many thanks for sending the dice so swiftly.

Very clean and organized. All displays/etc. were functional. Our kids did not participate in any "workshops" though they all looked nice, functional and staffed. Overall, our kids had a great time - will definitely go again!

My toddler daughter loved this place. It was reasonable, about 12 bucks a person, and we spent 4 hours here enjoying two floors of activities for her. There was a cafe' there, but it wasn't open the Monday we went.
