Met up with my some fam and my goddaughter at this park... what fun! And it was quite a hot day for…read moreit. The parking lot was packed, but I managed to get a space that wasn't obnoxiously far and walk right in. My fam was hanging out under some umbrellas and I could see lots of water fountains and sprinklers all about. There's nothing particularly exciting for adults (except for the bucket pour, but it's a great environment if you're looking to cool off the kids! The bathrooms had an interesting protocol that I hadn't seen before. The park closes at 7, and each of the bathrooms closed in 15 minute intervals leading up to that time. For example, the leftmost one closed at 6:15, the second one closed at 6:30, and so on. What they don't tell you, which I do think would be key (kids and their bladders) is that they start cleaning the bathrooms out around 10 minutes before they close... so really you can't use the first bathroom after 6:05. Other than that, the park is cool! Seating is first come first serve, and they close promptly at 7.

We will definitely be back, as we have many times before.

We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. The space is quite large but for its…read moresize I do wish they used the space in a better way. The parking garage is very close by and it's free. So very convenient if going with young kids. We are a family of 4 and it cost us $52 in total for admission. I don't know why places charge for adults - like we are not going to climb and slide ( well unless we need to help the kids but voluntarily - NO!). Adults are free on weekdays but not free on weekends - dont understand it. I mean it's $3 per adult but rather give the $3 as a credit voucher and we can have a cup of coffee or a drink. Anyway - I would say that this place is more geared for kids under 7 years old. They have a cute baby area and a toddler area. The "obstacle course" for older kids is very small and once you do it- that's it. I do think they should incorporate more activities for older kids. The toddler area is nice but my daughter (4) got pretty bored after going through it like 3 times maybe. Aa many reviewers have said - there is not much table seating around the older kids and toddler area . There are some tables by the baby area which doesn't really make sense as a parent will most likely be with the baby at all times. It's pretty gloomy down there. Anyway - the place is clean and they have a restaurant ( well food and a seating area) on the main level. Quite convenient when the kids want to play but they also need to eat. I did see that you can host a birthday there - which looked sweet as there was a birthday happening when I visited. The toilets are clean and there are change tables. The staff are around but they don't really engage with the kiddos really. The atmosphere of the place is ok. I do like that it's very clean. Would I go here again? Probably not. The kids said they wouldn't come back again as nothing excited them about the place. They were over it after an hour. I think if you have younger kids / they will enjoy it more.

I brought my kids here after the third or fourth snow day to get out of the house. We spent from…read moreabout 12-4:30 and it was relatively empty compared to my typical experiences with indoor playgrounds. Probably due to the weather. We parked across the street but I believe there is a small parking lot for the building. So when you walk in, on the left is the cafe area, books for sale straight ahead, and on the right a little toddler area. Most of the action is downstairs. They have a large open obstacle course and then a few different areas with slides and soft play. There is also a large area with magnet blocks. We had a couple of kids meals and the value was fair. My kids are 3 and 7 and while the younger one could not do quite everything, there was enough she could do that made the visit worth it. My 7 year old could easily do all the courses. This is a nice addition to the Scramble family and we will definitely visit again.

Find out if your dog should play in the stream. The location honors Jennie Serepta Dean (1848-1913), founder of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth.
