One Woman Army

Front desk was amazing checking us in and super friendly which gave us hope but that was the extent of it for our family. The vibe was cliquish amongst some of the parents, others were just awkward and standoffish. It literally felt like we walked into someone's home uninvited. Kids were barefoot and the pics online definitely made the environment look a lot different than what we actually seen. After 40 mins of that weird tension we took our kids to the park where they had a blast and were well received by the other parents and kids playing on the equipment. Go figure😊

This is a great place to bring a kid to enjoy a few hours of play time in a space that encourages movement, creativity, and imagination. You will not find any screens or digital toys here, and my child has never gotten bored in the hours spent playing. Wonderworks is best suited for ages 1 to 8, I think, depending on how rambunctious your child may be. From the Dino slide, foot powered buggies, and giant foam building blocks, there are movement and motion activities. So too a huge rocking horse, play camping set. And dress up for imagination and creativity. Dino fossil dig, train set, play shopping and the theater stage too! Arts and crafts, as well as the activities, rotate throughout the year, so there is usually something new to see or do each month, like making mothers day cards and shamrock crafts. For the small price of $5 a head in the door, I have never felt like I did not get a bargain for the fun my child had here. Highly recommended for parents and kids.

My children love wonderworks so much! There's lots of things to play with and children to make friends with. It's so nice to be able to go and play when the weather is too miserable for the park. My daughter likes dressing up as an astronaut or doing crafts. My oldest son loves making new friends and doing puzzles. And my two year old loves having so many blocks to play with!!! The staff are helpful and friendly, the bathrooms are decent. There's a little table where you can enjoy any snacks you bring The only rule about snacks is no nuts, which is understandable. Nut allergies can be so severe and it's hard to prevent cross contamination in a room full of small children. We bring dried fruit, or crackers and cheese.

Questions & Answers

Is this place safe?

ABSOLUTELY SAFE! But this isn't the place to drop off your kids. It's meant to be interactive with your kid(s), or allow them to interact with other kids. It's a great place! Micah runs it, and she is Awesome!

Do they accept Debit Cards?

I'm pretty sure it's cash or check, if I remember correctly. Their machine may have been down, but just in case bring a few forms of payment to be safe!

How much are tickets?

It's $5 per person each time. A membership is well worth the money if you plan to go there a few more times.

If you want to have a birthday party there how far in advance do you need to make reservations?

Michele Bautista | Aug 18, 2018
Leslie Sullivan | Aug 18, 2018

It depends. They only do the parties after the place is closed, so they can really only do one per day. I would make reservations as soon as possible to secure your date.

I was wondering if I can purchase a years pass for my 3 year old granddaughter for Christmas and if so, how much is it?

Debbie Wentz-Cantrell | Aug 18, 2018
Beth Easley | Aug 18, 2018

Yes, you can. I got a year pass for my kids for $100. That's the most expensive option available.
