There are classes for everyone of all ages & all levels. I was a bit intimidated to come here because it's been a while since I've been active, but everyone here is very friendly and welcoming. So if it's your first time taking classes or it's been a while since your last, please don't be intimidated. This truly is a great place for all ages and levels.

In his first few minutes Saturday morning he warned us that he will talk ALOT. Yea- no lie, the man had a lot to say. What was awesome, was that everything he said worked together to teach you how to understand sailing. If you want to go to a class where it's all book oriented and set for a test- this is not the place for you. If you want to understand the principles of sailing- to really understand it, Clint is the guy. I took the test and aced it. I know you probably are thinking "Brendan, your super educated and smarter than Spock" and maybe that's true. But I think I aced the test because Clint taught me how to understand the principles of sailing. I have a few pieces of advice- 1- hit the head (bathroom) before you launch. 2- read the book, don't memorize it 3- leave your ego home. Remember, you don't know how to sail. Accept correction, don't justify or make excuses. Be like an 8 year old kid who is truly curious and willing to learn. 4- make sure you have water and snacks. 5- sunscreen and protection is good. 6- hide some bananas in your bag. If you make a mistake offer it to Clint. It's his favorite food. That's my opinion, and if you've read this far, your probably Clint or a super curious person. If your Clint- thanks again man, that was the best experience I've had in years. If your a super curious person- just pull the trigger, what do you have to lose?

I really love the idea of this indoor play center- it has so much potential. The themed rooms and…read morefocus on imaginative play make it such a fun and creative concept for kids. You can tell it was designed to be a special place, and on the surface, it truly is adorable. That said, my experience left me feeling uneasy, mostly due to cleanliness and supervision concerns. I witnessed multiple children putting toys in their mouths (which is totally normal for kids), but what was concerning was that those same toys were often placed right back into shared play areas. While I later learned there is a designated bin for toys that have been in kids' mouths, this wasn't communicated upfront, and I didn't see it being consistently used or enforced. There also seemed to be inconsistency when it came to staff involvement. Across my two visits, I did see some staff members actively cleaning up and returning toys to their proper places, which I appreciated. However, I also observed others simply picking up toys and dropping them into corners of the rooms without any real organization or sanitizing. I completely understand that keeping up with kids is a challenge--I'm a parent too--but that's where consistent staff engagement becomes really important. Another issue was the level of parental supervision. Many parents were on their phones while their kids played freely. Again, that's ultimately a parenting responsibility, but in a shared environment like this, it contributes to the overall hygiene and safety concerns. I also want to mention that I found the staff presentation a bit unprofessional, which added to the overall impression that things weren't being closely managed. To be fair, you do sign a waiver regarding illness, and I understand that no play space can be completely germ-free. However, I did end up contracting chickenpox exactly 10 days after visiting, which makes me seriously question the effectiveness of their cleaning and sanitizing practices. Overall, this place is incredibly cute and full of potential. With more consistent staff involvement, clearer communication, better sanitization systems, and encouragement for parents to stay engaged, it could be an amazing environment. Right now, though, it falls short of what it could and should be.
