However, there were a couple of concerns that stood out. The lighting, especially toward the back, was very dim, which made it harder to keep an eye on everything and didn't feel the cleanest. Unfortunately, all of our kids ended up getting sick afterward, which makes us question how well the facility is being cleaned and maintained. It has good potential because the kids enjoyed themselves, but better lighting and stronger cleaning practices would make a big difference.

Eleanor indulged in pizza, snacks, and crumbl cookies with her friends that attended the party, then it was time to open presents.

Miss Avery enjoyed her time in the toddlers ball pit, but Nathaniel not so much he did not like it and started crying. And Scarlett left with a gorgeous cotton candy butterfly. I believe Eleanor had a very good time today with her friends! Happy 6th birthday, Eleanor. If you're looking for a birthday party event for a young child, I would highly recommend this indoor playcenter you can rent a room out have it for 2 1/2 hours. Pick your food choices for each child and then they have unlimited play.

They have a wonderful snack bar with lots of food options, chicken wraps, mozzarella sticks, pizza, coffee, Café and more. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM they're closed on Sunday

When I was a kid growing up we had one of these play systems in our backyard and I remember the day…read moreit was installed all the way up until the day my parents had it removed when I was an adult. The one my parents installed in their backyard in the 90s lasted three kids and over 20 years with regular maintenance. When it came time for us to look into a swingset for our daughters as tempted as I was by the kidcraft DIY ones at Costco, we ended up going with Rainbow simply because the kidcraft wooden playhouse in our backyard has been up for maybe three years and LOOKS it. We were a bit worried about how something we DIY might hold up so we figured we'd pay a bit more and go this route. First of all these things are expensive. There is no way around that. The website always says things are heavily discounted, like it never changes cost and is always on sale, so I think it's just the way they try to get you to pull the trigger - like OH it's not actually 7grand, it's ONLY 2 grand. I'd prefer they just be a bit more transparent on that, but I appreciate that it could be more. Once we were sold on the unit we wanted we decided to make the trek out to Olathe to see it in person and make sure we knew what we were doing. It was April, and honestly we were wanting to move quickly so we could have one installed early in the summer season. There is conflicting information on when they are open online - in some places it says they have hours on Sundays and on others it says they are closed. We couldn't figure out what the case was so we went there and they were closed to the public. The door was open and we thought oh, maybe we could just speak with a sales person but nobody was around so we just went home and ordered the one we wanted online. Now, their website is a bit dated but it worked okay. It was a little scary placing an order this big in this way, but we had no other time to get out to Olathe in the near future and decided it was worth it. Again, IRL would have been better because I would have asked about small add ons like a pirate telescope and baby swing, neither of which you can just add on via their website. At any rate, we made the purchase and a rep from their team was in contact with me by Monday morning which really impressed me! She told me the timeframe we'd be looking at and what to expect next. As the timeframe of 3-5 week delivery creeped into the three week mark I emailed asking about next steps and didn't hear back for several days. The following week I emailed again, and again no response so I called. Calling prompted an email and we got it scheduled and ultimately installed pretty quickly at that point. The installer was SO NICE and so fast. It was insanely impressive how they get these things up quickly. The main thing here is that these are impressive, well made, playsets. The folks working here are very kind, and thoughtful. Sometimes things just move slower than you might want, or you might have to reach out to get questions answered. Would I recommend Rainbow? For sure! Could they turn this into a 5 star experience with a few small tweaks? Absolutely. If you're not me though, learn from me, and go on a Saturday, talk to the sales people and I'm sure you'll have a smoother experience.

There is real life activities, such as a kitchen, a grocery store, a train, that has additional things for kids to do that mock real life, which includes a cooking apron, a train engineer, coat, etc. They have an outdoor area and when we were there, it was cooler and rainy, but I could see that this is a wonderful extension to additional play areas suggest a treehouse, a farm silo and a farmers market. Now the treehouse was a little bit dirty, but I think it's probably the time of the year and that it was really damp and wet during our visit. There's a place for you to have lunch. There are organized activities in the afternoon, which we did not participate in, but that goes additional things to do in the afternoon if you're there for a long period of time. The employees there were more than helpful and friendly . Facility was very clean and well organized.

I'd advise taking care with fish- they use RO water, so drip acclimation will be necessary if you're on KC tap water. The Pygmy's cories I got from them were healthy, but they needed a slow acclimation to be put into my quarantine. They're now in the display. They're knowledgeable about their fish and plants (I'd assume salt water as well, but I don't have a saltwater tank, so I can't say one way or the other). The plants I've purchased from them have been great, except for one buce brownie tissue culture that melted and hasn't come back, but apparently my tank doesn't like buce, because I've tired multiple times, and buce melts and never come back, so I don't fault them for that. Their plants are nearly always in good shape and happy. I did buy some downoi that was super leggy, and so I trimmed it to use only the best of it. It's there, in the tank, and I'm watching to see what it does. But the tissue culture of the downoi I got from them really took off, and is propagating just fine. Their cost is in line with online sellers when you factor in shipping. I'll continue to use them. I've been pleased with the knowledge of the employees and their locality.

As a member of the Zoo I've been lucky enough to visit the Sobela Ocean Aquarium countless times,…read moreand this is honestly one of the best things the Zoo has done to expand its offerings. First thing's first, if you are just wanting to visit the Aquarium you'll still need a ticket to the Zoo, as the Aquarium is just a part of the larger Zoo experience. I love this too, FWIW. This Aquarium, while top of the line, is not really intended to be a stand alone attraction, and in my opinion is not really large enough to merit a full day. It's plenty big and impressive though, if you are working it into your KC Zoo trip. What's great about this aquarium is that for the size and price you get to see sharks, sea otters, eels, jellyfish, and more! To a small kid it will feel massive, and even to an adult there is plenty to charm and awe. I love that during the heat of summer or the chill of winter there is a nice sized space to get relief from the elements, and there's always plenty of staff inside to answer questions. It should also be noted that hands down this is the best aquarium in KC. It blows SeaLife out of the water and is a much better value - in short, just support local and go here if you are on the hunt for an aquarium. All in all, this is a good Aquarium for our fair city.
