Today they had two special events: 1) meet a mermaid, and 2) party in paradise (Guam dancers). Today was particularly busy with Ronald McDonald House run from 9-11am and free admission for those who participated. Love that Kidspace has themed events to keep families coming! Lots of beautiful themed decorations in the front entrance and right as you walk through. We went straight to the reading area to get in line for meet the mermaid. We waited about 15 minutes. The mermaid was very friendly and played the part well. There were lots of Kidspace photographers. Next we went to the 1:30pm "party in paradise" performance at the outdoor amphitheater. My girls' (almost 5 & 7yo) favorite is the craft room. Today's activity was still the paper butterfly cutouts (we came on 3/30). They could spend the whole visit in the craft room! Los Trompos is also another favorite! Other favorites we didn't get to today: muddy boots farm, blue ocean area, arts/crafts up at the top of the hill, tricycles, climbing structures (2 indoor, 1 outdoor). My youngest really wanted to do the pressurized water bottle experiment. It wasn't working properly today, but a little boy showed us the trick. Tip: press low, high, AND bottom row buttons all at the same time. Watch the stick rise, the water fill up, then shoot up! Shout out to Events Director, Michael, who is always friendly and helpful! Thank you for saying hi!

Since it's inside the mall, it's a perfect home base for a family outing when you need to burn off some energy or entertain several kids at once. - This is a top-tier play space for families. It sets itself apart from the competition with high-quality service and price points that actually make sense for parents. The facility is pristine and clearly well-cared-for, which isn't always the case with these spots.

The negative. They need to be sanitizing better and more often. I never see the employees cleaning. The foam balls are disgusting and the netting around the play area are visibly dirty. My son has picked up a bug twice from this place and that's even after washing our hands before leaving and bathing when we get home. The first time we thought was a fluke, kids are dirty and great at getting each other sick. We went the second time and the next day and he woke up the next day sick. They also need an age limit. A few times we've gone there have been groups of teenagers running around, playing too rough and hogging play areas.

Our group had a blast! We liked the idea of an enclosed party space since we have so many kids in our family/friend group. There is like a 100 people limit though (including kids) as they don't have a lot of sitting space. We brought extra tables and chairs to help with that which wasn't a big deal. We felt everything was clean and I see them actively cleaning the place when we left too for the next party. We would come back again.

We had a Minecraft theme for our son's 4th birthday, and we were just blown away by how amazing this set up was (they only had 30 mins in between the party before ours to put it together). The staff here were all very courteous and kind. From visiting this playground in the past, I have already seen various improvements made - including the new ball pit & how they have finally repaired the rips in the big red slide. Our family will definitely be back! Thank you for providing our son a birthday to remember.

I recently visited Wonders of Dinosaurs with my family to take my three-year-old nephew, and…read moreunfortunately it was not worth the money. The space has two floors -- one floor is strictly jumping castles, and the other floor has mini rides and mini golf. The issue is that the rides and mini golf cost additional money on top of the admission price ($2 per ride). It's about $30 for a child and $10 for an adult just to get in, so having to pay extra for most of the activities felt excessive. There was also only one employee working the entire floor with the rides and mini golf, which made things feel understaffed and unorganized. Cleanliness was another big concern. There were crumbs and dirt all over the floors, and the men's restroom changing station was very dirty -- the baby changing platform was especially unpleasant. Overall, this place did not feel like a good value for the price. I wouldn't recommend it, especially considering the additional costs and lack of cleanliness.

Don't be surprised if your kids walk out with Hand, Foot, and Mouth! The restrooms are disgusting!!!!!!! They must have a lot of leaks everywhere because there's trash cans full of water in random locations. Overall it's a huge 2 floor location with so many cool things but it really needs a deep cleaning!

The experience is a guided creative tour with about 4 hands‑on DIY stations where kids (and adults!) can make your own markers and crayons, paint, and craft fun projects like a windmill -- and you get to take everything home! It's about $18.99 per ticket for both adults and kids over age 2 (children under 2 are free but don't get materials) and includes the guided activities. We got to make our own markers, our cute crayons, paint a windmill, and everyone walked away with pieces we really loved -- and the goodie bag was a fun bonus. Unfortunately, it was a bit tough with 4 little ones, because many of the activities actually needed adult help, so it wasn't as independent as we expected. Bathrooms and seating felt a little cramped when there were lots of kids around. Also the parking outside didn't feel very comfortable -- the lot looked a bit rough and I wasn't super at ease leaving the car for long. The whole adventure runs in timed slots (about 1.5-2 hours total) that start every hour, so you'll want to show up early to check in and sign waivers before your session begins. Overall: A fun and educational experience that gets kids hands‑on with art and creativity, and definitely special for a birthday celebration -- but be ready to help your littles through the activities, and know that the location/parking may not be the most pleasant part of the day. Still worth it for the smiles and crafts!
