"We have had such an excellent day. I visited today with my 3 year old. Our visit was part of bubble and bop festival. The atmosphere began at the door. The flags the music and the glitter tattoos. The lanyard added to the festival feel. I can't express how impressed I was with how clean the whole place is. The staff are great with the children and interact well.
