    Wonderful Wonderlland for children (and really cool for us mamas and dads too!). Took the mixed toddler class with Ellen for our first class at this location and it was great! Kids were engaged and enthralled, moving, grooving, and focused when they did fine motor activities. It's a very unique class. There were multiple play areas and my toddler did not want to leave. Will definitely be back. Thanks!

    Pure fun.

    Stone Barn Nature Center is a small educational center dedicated to the wildlife and community…read more It's located within the Deukmejian Wilderness Park. I came to visit and was greeted by Jackie, a young blue eyed and beautiful woman, at the reception desk. She was informative and affable. Let me tell you about this center, the history of the stone barn dates to 1898 when the property was acquired by George Le Mesnager, a French emigrant and prominent Los Angeles vintner, from Dr. Benjamin Briggs, the founder of La Crescenta. Between 1914 and 1918, George's son Louis constructed the original stone barn and shed along with several other buildings that no longer exist. They were used for storing equipment and grapes until 1920, when Prohibition ended the winemaking industry and forced the Le Mesnagers into the water industry. As the turn of the century, this center is a place to learn about the wild animals in the Cresenta valley and LA County. It's a great place for kids and family. Overall, it's a nice center to bring kids or kids at heart.

    So impressed with this little nature center that opened not too long ago! Went to Deukmejian…read moreWilderness Park for a picnic/hike party and found this little gem!

As you enter the Vibes here are pretty awesome, we were greeted right away and we had purchased our tickets via online and signed the waiver as well so when we came in check in was fast. If you want to save some time you can do the same if not you can purchase tickets there and sign waiver on the IPad they have for you. Once you are done they give you a wrist band and a sticker to note the time your session will be up. But they will remind you kindly when your time is up. They have a huge area of trampolines attached to a basketball hoop as well as a side trampoline that when you jump you fall into the soft cubes for a soft landing.. The Zip-line part is RAD! My kiddos did that about 20 times (appreciate the patience from the staff here) The other side of the space are huge slides, tunnels and fun obstacles that you may get lost but it's tons of fun. The bottom half of the area has this cool ball pit area and you can put the balls in a cool compartment that when you push a button they shoot up and it's super neat for the kids and keeps them busy. Overall this space is GREAT and it's pretty neat that you can host a party here or even a big group of friends if you want. They have great packets as well. Entrance is $30 per person & you have to bring sticky socks so you have good grip. They sell some here for $5 if you forget them but they do help to explore. There was tons of parking outside & bathrooms were clean. They have cool cubbies so you can put your shoes and stuff and they also have a section where you can purchase pizza and snacks and drinks as well. They have a seating area so you can hangout as well. Can't emphasize how clean this place was and appreciated that. Can't wait to come back here my niece and nephew.

Beside great and creatively planned classes they offer summer camps which seem to be such fun! My granddaughter's fav coach is Ava she is like a ray of sunshine, always so happy and cheery! I hav sat and watched her during the class, she is amazing w the kids and parents! Its awesome how all including my granddaughter and her parent are entertained and follow directions while having great time. Def bring ur babies here let them have fun and learn interacting w other babies from early on as it will be a great tool for self confidence to have the rest of their beautiful lives.

Shes a very active kid and usually pretty slow to warm to new places but her skepticism vanished after 5 minutes of seeing the other kids run and jump on the gigantic inflatable. She also liked the donut wheel that flips kids into a somersault. This place is great for vestibular and proprioceptive input! Although it wasn't long enough to wear her out, she had fun. The pricing is a bit unclear - they charge a $40 initial fee, plus it's 160/mo. So you're going to pay $200 for the first month. I bought a membership despite the steep price ($160/mo which is $40/class); we'll see how long it takes before she's bored of it. Staff was friendly. Class was semi-structured. So much better than MyGym in Pasadena!! Highly recommend doing a drop in for kids who are walking steadily on their own. If you have a baby, maybe hold off a bit and go somewhere carpeted like a music class or kidspace baby room until they can walk and really take advantage of all this place has to offer.

    This is strictly from my experience as a walk in customer, not there for events. I needed my 1 year…read moreold son to burn energy on a rainy day so I found little beetle, which was the closest indoor playground to my house. Admission was very reasonable. My son was interested because it was a new environment for him and new toys to play with, however, many of the toys were so beat up, didn't have batteries, half broken. It just seemed not taken care of. Like nobody ever goes through and maintains the toys and play things. My son still had a good time, but I think if he was a little bit older and knew the difference, then it would be a bust for him. I really do wish they would maintain it better. Parking lot is in the shopping center, but it does get busy and it can be difficult to find a spot. I parked on the street. There are snacks and drinks you can buy inside, and the place is available for renting out for parties and events. I'll go back there if I run out of things to do and need to keep my son busy, but probably only for a few more months.
