There was already a short line, but the staff was friendly, and we got inside without much trouble. Since we'd never been before, I do wish there had been a little more explanation of how everything worked, especially the coins and which activities were included with admission versus which ones cost extra. The kids had a great time. There are a huge number of activities, and most of them are easy enough for young kids to figure out without much instruction. Ours especially loved the tablets with games and the giant Lite-Brite. They also spent some time on the playground, but lost interest once some bigger kids started playing pretty roughly. There's honestly so much going on that it can become a little overwhelming. After a couple of hours, it got fairly loud, and we were all ready for a break. The cafe had a limited food selection, especially if you're looking for something higher in protein, but reentry made it easy to work around. We went to the mall food court for lunch and then came back for a while. The gift shop is excellent and has a lot of creative products you don't normally see. I'd definitely go again, especially now that I understand the layout and how everything works.

Everything is indoors and even though the space is massive it is not overly crowded which is great. Favorite activities included: - Glow in the dark wax painting - Creating and naming your own crayon - Decorating your own Scribble - Selfie and photo stations everywhere (my daughter especially loved the sketch bots) - And of course the gift shop! We were able to get discounted tickets off Groupon. We spent about three hours there.

Check in begins at 5 pm. The children will be greeted at the desk and then taken then taken to the Monsters Inc hand wash then are allowed to store their personal items. The kids have activities galore and are served dinner and a snack. Downsides. EXPENSIVE, especially if you have more than one child. And since they close at 10:30 most people would have to cut the date short to get there in time.

I was blown away with the level of detail inside of Bowser's Castle and almost wished I had more time just to look around it before getting on the ride. The Yoshi Ride was underwhelming, however, and I feel like there was more that could have been done with it, even if that meant building an additional structure. I did not participate in using the Power Up bands, but noticed several children that were loving it. It would have been so amazing to experience this world back in the N64 days!

He loved running around and looking through all the different tanks full of fish. It's a pretty small aquarium and tickets are relatively inexpensive at $15 pp. You can also buy a ticket bundle and combine it with the Madame Tussauds wax museum next door. We didn't do that this time but not a bad deal if you want to see both. This is definitely a tourist attraction, being located on I-Drive, but we still enjoyed it. We went through it in about 45 minutes, but you could go at a slower pace if you're not chasing a toddler. Even with the size, there's still a lot to see and a wide variety of fish and sea life: sharks, turtles, axolotl, starfish, stingrays, seahorses, jellyfish, moray eel, and more. There's also a touch tank at the end if you want to participate. It also wasn't too crowded and was easy to navigate.

We did not bring socks so we had to buy them there for $2.50, so for around $18, we were able to go in with our child for 2 hours. 2 adults are free with one child's admission price. I feel like socks should've been included, but you are allowed to bring in your own from home and they don't have to be grip bottom socks. You are given a colored armband that indicates the time you need to leave. 4 stars because there were a lot of coin operated rides/games/machines to play with, however some of them were out of order (carousel, VR game) or were pay to play (air hockey, and another car type of vehicle). The decor and theming was impressive and there were two areas in the back where they had set up for parties that were not happening at the time of our visit. I liked how each set up for the parties came with huge balloon garland that color coordinated with the theme. A thunderstorm rolled through the area while we were there, and it was a nice reminder of why we chose an indoor activity to enjoy today. We spent an hour and 45 minutes there before we had to go, and of course our kids were reluctant to leave! I was also able to capture my friend's baby standing and walking while pushing a baby doll stroller which was very exciting! I would recommend this place if you're looking for an indoor, air conditioned, clean and safe environment for kids aged 18 months to age 7 or 8, this place should be on the list.

Seeing the alligators up close was definitely a highlight, and the entire experience was both fun and exciting. Once inside, it was super convenient to pay cash for cool extra rides and wildlife photos. We paid cash on the spot to pose while holding a baby alligator, which turned out to be our favorite souvenir photo of the whole vacation! Since almost the entire park is outdoors along open boardwalks and natural trails, carrying a raincoat or umbrella was an absolute lifesaver when a typical Florida rain shower rolled through. Food and drinks were reasonably priced, and the staff was 10/10--friendly and helpful throughout our visit. A great bonus is that Florida residents get 50% off admission, making it an even better value for a family outing. Between the amazing military perk, hands-on animal encounters, and welcoming atmosphere, we loved every minute. We highly recommend giving yourself a full day to soak it all in! We highly recommend Gatorland for a fun and unique Florida experience. We'll definitely be back!

The main floor of this play place is pretty large, and everything is spread out enough that there is a lot of room to move. The main attraction is the large climbing structure with multiple slides. It is definitely the coolest part and the part my son (and I for that matter) had the most fun with. Other than that though, there isn't a whole lot of other toys and variety to entertain the children compared to other places I've been.

I'm particularly interested in their "Mom's Playdate" for $ 28, which includes coffee for mom, socks for mom and child, juice + 1 bag of chips for kids and playtime.
