This place is so fun! We stopped while on the road and it was prefect for our family. It is very clean and well managed.

We miss the shopping area. The vet clinic isn't as fun for the kids. Its a cheap activity filled day! Always pleased.

They do many variety of customized shows... I saw sesame street and the basic planets but very well done while there. I'm sure they have your show especially if you request an event to show it.
