This is a hands-on museum type place for kids toddler to tween. They can pretend they are serving at a restaurant, float balls in mid-air, do cave writings in the dark, see a huge display of running trains, build a city, go to an under the sea climbing area, and work at a dock with "fresh caught fish" to disperse throughout the towns people. It gives the kids tons of physical play with as much imagination as they want. This place is best when not over loaded with people (during the week).
