This is the perfect place to go for lunch and to play! Get yourself and your kiddos some lunch and let them play in the Play Place. Maybe you will even get lucky and can sit outside the play place and enjoy the rest of your lunch in peace while they go down the slide an endless amount of times.
The Play Café
The play café is a great place to take your kiddos when you want to sit down and drink some coffee while your kids play. No need to chase them around as this quaint play space allows your kids to play in a safe space while you can enjoy some conversation with other adults. Which we all know we need after being stuck inside with little people for too long.
