I'm familiar with the area however I didn't know that it could re-invent into an impressive event space. I attended a conference there today and I was moved. The event space was large, extremely accessible to public transportation, and the break out rooms were cozy for small teams. This large well lit space can easily convert from a children's museum to a night time fundraising event quickly. The book store has something for everyone.

There's a lot to explore in a tiny space. The vents with the handkerchiefs and recycling truck were hits. The coat area is so crowded and too full. If you add in all the strollers, it's insane trying to get your items if you wait until the end of the 1.5 hour. The unavoidable shop at the front is very enticing. There are tables to eat snack in the shop, but you'll inevitably be asked to buy everything there. Your entry includes on snack, which is a nice gesture.

There is a fixed play time of 1.5 hours, then a free snack.

What really sealed the deal for me was the ability to paint and leave with your masterpiece on the very same day. It was super important for the kids to take home what they worked on; waiting a whole week for a pot to cure and dry is something we can save for a future birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed. There were other kids happily making soap, and the woman who greeted us kindly explained that we could pick whatever we wanted to paint. Once we selected our items, we paid and were set up at a table with paints, brushes, and an apron. I'm so glad she made sure we knew the paint didn't wash out of clothes. Pro-tip: Even if you're not painting, wear the apron. Trust me, your shirt will thank you for this advice! The kids had an absolute blast. It was so interactive, and once they finished, they had blow dryer stations so we could dry the paint. The best part? They took the painted items to the back and made them all shiny! This place is a definite hit. And I hear it's fun even for adults with no kids in tow. Girls' night, anyone? Sign me up!

Fortunately, the number of stars that I had for each experience was five. The first time around I painted the Cinderella figure and my mother painted the pumpkin figure. The second time around we painted mugs. The two projects required two different types of paint. Unfortunately, the prices are kind of insane. The Cinderella figure was $49.99 plus tax, the pumpkin was $29.99 plus tax, and both mugs were $29.99 plus tax. Even though it was expensive I still had so much fun and everything I made came out looking great. Everything my mom made came out looking great. I can see myself coming back, and I can't wait to see what my pieces look like once they're out of the kiln.

There's lots of benches if you want a quiet place to sit and rest.

This is easily going to be one of my daughter's favorite playgrounds in the city. Although we need a train ride to get here, this space is well worth it. Structures are innovative and there's plenty to climb for a child in search of adventures. There's even a tunnel they can crawl up and down on they're own! There's a section for little ones at the northern end and water sprinklers as soon as you enter to the right. The jungle made of ropes and unstable platforms is unique, and so is the pretend train car that can be moved from outside. This place is nothing short of awesome! We visited on a Sunday afternoon toward the end of summer and the place wasn't even too crowded. It's kept clean and we felt safe. Restrooms are available and plenty of restaurants dots the neighborhood. Go and have a blast with your kids!
