“We love it here! Have been twice in the last couple of weeks and have been very impressed with the precautions in place. It's just so nice to do something 'normal' with my little one. He is nearly 6 months old and has really enjoyed going in the amazing baby sensory room! There are toys and areas for various ages so lots to keep little ones entertained. Very relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Keep up the good work guys!! 😁 ❤ ”
