Pricing was very reasonable- we got a lot of bang for our buck. The best part is, we were able to support a great organization that contributes to our community!

when i saw it from the outside…i could not compute how it was going to be a good experience. i thought i was about to bring my five children into a very nice house where they would proceed to break things. but instead, it was like wandering into an endless space of imagination.
my kids range from 7yo to 15yo. they can be sensitive, and snarky, withdrawn or hyper active. ever single one of them was engaged the entire time.
honestly, our time here was one of the best we’ve ever had together doing anything. highly recommend!
Our two young boys had a great time running around and learning about electricity and Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. The next day our 5 year old asked if we could go again.
Good thing we live nearby!
