The kids are going to love it! We had my daughter's 8th birthday party here recently and all the kids had so much fun! Gretchen, the owner & host, has a cozy studio and checks all the boxes for a party: she has decorations, provides coloring sheets, and has the perfect balance of fun, understanding, and authority that keeps the kids on task and having fun. While booking the party you get to pick the project (from a few choices). Day of she walks/teaches the kids through every step of the creation. After, she fires the clay and you pick it up! It was such a delightful experience having a birthday party here that I will be recommending it to others as much as I can. Thank you for the great time, Gretchen!

How do I even put into words all the good things that I have to say about My Gym Wheaton?…read more What it all comes down to is the PEOPLE that work there. Justin, Lizzie (my daughter's idol), and Kayla are the best of the best. They are energetic, creative, kind, fun, and funny. My daughter is crawling out of her skin to get to class every week. In addition, we had her 4th birthday party there this year. It was epic. Parents of her friends and her friends are STILL talking about how fun it was. They think of every detail and make it special for the birthday star! We love this place.

Highly recommend on all fronts!

I had no idea about that "Cosley Zoo" existed until I found the deal on Groupon. My partner and I…read morewere planning a weekend getaway with the kids and "Cosley Zoo" came into the picture. The Groupon offer was equivalent to 50% off per adult, plus an internal promo code. That definitely sealed the deal for us. The surrounding area was having some constructions, but the direction to parking lot was clearly marked. I could see this zoo would be designed for local residents, but this was a quality one for taking small children for some good time. The animals appeared to be well taken care off. We dined at their cafe and the food wasn't too expensive. The giftshop was nicely air-conditioned and that was really a treat after a walk/chase with the little ones. My conlusion is that there is no need to travel specifically for "Cosley Zoo" unless you are also visiting other places in the area and happen to stop by. However, our little ones had great fun (no charge on admission for children under 11 year old) and helped us make some wonderful memories as a family.

In the heart of Wheaton in a quiet residential area, this is a terrific playground for all ages (even Grandpa's!)

My 2 yr old does it all (a little of a daredevil) and loves the big sand box. They have a nice picnic area and a huge field if you wanted to play soccer, kickball, frisbee, etc. they also have a bike trail or sidewalk that goes all the way around the park so you can bike ride around or bring scooters. You can spend 10 mins here or several hours here. There's usually other kids (almost always) here that have always been super friendly and its never been too packed where it's not fun. I think this park has almost everything (besides a zip line) that you would want at a park! I'll be back here, as usually!

The Wheaton Park District offers classes (before COVID, not sure about now), at this location and a long time ago I brought me kids here at night to learn about creatures of the night.
