Spring Break Craziness!

We decided to take the youngest niece (2) and nephew (5) to Hide n Seek Playground and Cafe during spring break to work off some extra energy.

Wow!

That place is huge and the crowd was insane. I felt like we lost the kids so many times. They do have a good system at the door so the kids can't just leave but it is very easy to lose them in the maze. D loved it so much. He went off on his own several times and if his sister followed he would help her out. They did very well and had a ton of fun.

There are several slides, tons of things to climb, ball pits, bridges, a cannon room, ropes and so much more. The space is massive. It is great for many ages. I think even my 10 year old niece would still have fun there. The 2 year old is quite adventurous and independent otherwise she would be more limited there as parents aren't allowed in the maze on the second level (although I did see some).

The food was what you would expect. Mostly fried snack foods but they did have some fruit cups, cheese sticks and cut veggies available. It would be nice if some families didn't grab a table and keep it all day (I'd say about 7 groups did this), especially when the place is so busy that there isn't enough tables for even half the people there but the majority of people were considerate.

I think my sister in law and myself were way more tired by the end then they were but she did say they slept on the way home so it did tucker them out. I know the kids loved it so I would definitely take them again. I would prefer not taking them on spring break next time.
