I loved this place for my kids this is a clean and educational environment. This is specially adequate for toddlers or kids between 1-6 years old.

This was our best visit. There were three young ladies there continuously cleaning and sanitizing as the children were playing. They did a fabulous job. As soon as the kids would leave one area. They would come and clean. I wish I would of gotten their names. In times past, Ive never seen their employees clean the way these young ladies did. Kudos to them!

The Wonder Place is the best when it gets super hot, rainy, or if you need to get out of the house. There is only one entrance and exit if their party rooms are closed, leaving the place secure and allowing your little ones to roam free.The many different stations allow for a variety of development and critical thinking activities. The stations that I can recall off the top of my head are as follows:Huge water table. Grab a protective apron, a fishing pole and go to townTree House: slide, Rock climbing ramp, a music space, a loft for toysA grocery store: pretend food and play with baskets, a check out station and a registerThe Kitchen: prepping stations, kitchens, and tables to serve. Host your own tea partyTheater: puppets, dress up, & propsVeterinary Clinic: stuffed animals, doctor equipmentSand Table: hands-on play!Craft/Coloring tablesBright light building stationBlocks/Velcro cubes stationAir Area: throw scarves through tubes and see where they come out. Foam balls can float above p vc pipesA baby-2yr area: separate play area with tunnels, books, slides, mats etcThe space is open allowing you to rest your feet and watch them or play with them. Restrooms and water fountain are clean and in close proximity.

Fun first time experience for us. The facility seemed clean, the staff was friendly, and the bathrooms were nice. They had a nursing station too. There is a fee for each child, $8.75 I think, and they charge for the first adult. The second adult is free. There are many stations, art, sand, soft blocks, wood blocks, market, kitchen, stuffed animals/veterinarian, tiny tot area, wind tunnel, dress up stage, water table, puppet show, and tree house. The staff did walk around periodically and clean up. I was amazed how fast she put the kitchen back together, it was wrecked. There is also an area with tables and chairs and snack machines. We didnt use that area, so I have no review of it. Only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because the water area, the tiny tot table seemed scuzzy. I dont know how often it gets cleaned out, but it needed it. They do provide smocks for the water table, and that is nice. The art area, they put out a few things for a single craft, you dont have access to every media imaginable, but my 3yo was satisfied. My only real complaint is the other parents. I had a 1.5 and a 3.5yo there and there were older kids running them over, knocking them down, ripping toys out of their hands...and so many parents didnt bat an eye, or made a half-hearted attempt to tell their kid to be nice. I lost my temper when a much older kid was in the tiny tot area and smashed a door into my 1.5yo and all but crushed her. Completely unnecessary. Parents need to teach their children manners and respect. But anyway, the facility was nice, my kids loved it, and the staff was friendly and did clean up. We will go back.

Lots of play areas for young kids, including sand box, climbing access to small slides, theater, stuffed animals at vet office, market, water feature, and more. Several rooms for parties. Snack machine available. Helpful staff.

This place was alright. It has several areas for kids to play. There is a water area, sand table, tree house, grocery store, restaurant, stage, dress up area, puppet show window, craft room, train set, blocks, etc. It was decently clean for being such a big indie place for little ones. This is not for older kids. There are not many comfortable places to sit. I recommend having a day to fill since it costs $17.50 for 1 adult and 1 child.

We visited The Wonder Place for the first time today and had a blast! It smells clean when you walk in and the staff are friendly and helpful. They come around periodically and pick up stray toys. My 2 year-old explored and played and socialized. It was fun! My only complaint is they charge admission for adults. We happened to go on a free adult day. I cant imagine paying almost $20 for my kid to play here a couple of hours any other day of the month.

10/10 would recommend for small children. I went with a group of kids ages 1.5 - 8 years old. They all had a blast. I enjoyed watching my toddler have so much fun in a safe environment.

Overall a good place. We had a lot of fun. A couple things to note though. The attendants dont pick up anything during the time youre there. The place is a disaster. Yes, kids make huge messes, but a lot of places we have been before have someone helping constantly pick up. Its dated, and could use a big renovation soon. They dont allow food inside understandably, and say you can use their healthy vending machines, but they are all 100% empty. The stairs leading to the off limits second floor are only blocked by a little kids table, and were left completely unsecured. This place could be pretty awesome, just with some TLC and employees who are attentive instead of just earning a paycheck by sitting around gossiping. Still a great place to visit, just dont expect anything other than average.

My home Daycare, Destinys creative learning Academy, took a fieldtrip here! They have the most creative things for kids of all ages. My Grandson did not want to leave, and they have a very clean environment set up that I was impressed with, to keeping germs contained.

Love taking my kid here but I hardly ever see the staff do any tidying and I always stay a minimum of 2 hours :( 2 people will just hang at the front desk. It takes only 1 person to go through the store and the other to man the counter.

Review №14

A good rainy day spot for us. Its nice that you only pay for the first adult, but its a bit pricier than other similar places weve been. Its worth it for the variety of imaginative play areas and convenient location. The water and sand tables are great. I like to see play areas that we wouldnt have at home. Staff is great although they have trouble keeping up with maintaining play areas on busy days. You might find that all your dolls and dollhouse furniture is over at the train table. My daughter gets plenty of physical exercise on the climbing ramp and slide. The art room is also a nice space for quiet creation. A sweet, cheerful place to play.

Review №15

This was a really nice place to take my 2 year old she had a blast, but the price was just way too high. It should not cost no more than $5. The vending machine did not have any thing to chose from. Other than the price and no choice of snack my kid enjoyed herself so I guess that is all that matters.

My daughter rented place for 2 year old Birthday. We did not ask for assistance but were greeted and RUSHED by a thin young white girl, the rushing began!!! I mean RUSHED when we paid for 2 hours they were in a hurry to clean and get off work. The black lady cut my Granddaughter Birthday cake and they both began passing it around WITHOUT PERMISSION as if it were a joke or game!!! My daughter was confronted in front of guests how much time was left and she would be charged by the minute. Our guest were also upset with the employees behavior, we avoided a scene, the best scene is this review they may delete but its true.Any questions ? I have pictures and guest testimonials. Hope the owner sees this and fires or retrains these girls about RESPECT, PAYING CUSTOMERS, BUSINESS!!!!

Review №20

Basically as a daycare where there are books, blocks, sand and a stack with water. Something to entertain a child with less than 7 years.My 8 year-old daughter bored very soon.The only corner in which my daughter found something appropriate for her age was the Art Room where some sheets of paper are provided but unfortunately there were no crayons, or pencils or markers !.The problem .... That day was sticker fun day and they just provide stickersIn my opinion..It was not worth the $ 17.50 of the entrance.PD...By the way ... should have bilingual staff.

I barely got in the door and my kids were already attached! I love the fact that there are different play areas. Which gave my toddlers the chance to explore and use their imaginations. My son stayed in the cooking and grocery area and he was very seriously about making me food. My daughter explored the whole building. The gift shop is awesome! I went on a shopping spree of course so that lets you know The wonder place is worth going to. Not only will you be happy but so will your children.

We had a wonderful experience at The Wonder Place! We patronized twice before having our daughters 1st party here and the quality of service was exceptional!Each of the staff members that we met and worked with were awesome, especially Janae...she was so thorough and thoughtful that we requested her as our party helper and she went above and beyond. All of our guests (from 11 months to senior) were pleased as well.

Review №37

Not as big or impressive as the Museum of Discovery and for a somewhat younger audience overall. Still, a good place to pass a Saturday for my (Aspergers/mildly Autistic) 5 year old.Probably not great for kids over eight to ten years old. Not bad for children those ages down to six to eight months.

My daughter loved it. Many activities for young children. Great for toddlers and I had a fun time as well. Gets kids interested in many different things such as role playing and dress up. They have a big water table and a pretend marketplace where kids can be the shopper or run the register.

Great safe place for small children to play. A few reviewers complain of parents not watching over their kids. I have not encountered this here. In fact, I find that parents are always courteous about what their kids are doing. I guess youre bound to find a few parents who dont know how to behave their children. In general though, this is a nice and safe place for kids to enjoy themselves. There are a variety of activities for kids to enjoy.

A great place to take younger kids. I have been many times and the staff is always nice and helpful. It is clean and has many options for play including a stage and puppet theater with props and custumes and an arts and crafts room. You can leave and come back on the same day for only one admission charge. The vending machine has healthy snacks and drinks (some are organic). They also have a party room for birthdays. There is one door for entering and leaving and it has a notification sound when opened (and an employee watching it). Kids can spend hours here and never run out of things to do.

Review №41

I give this place 3 stars as it is mediocre. Unfortunately times like now when the flu is going around we avoid this place like the plague since every time weve been here the attendants did not keep an eye on toys that were being chewed or slobbered on by other kids which is an obvious quick way to spread germs. They are usually too busy on their cell phones at their desk or talking among each other. Also everything is usually a catastrophic mess while staff just hang around at the front desk. There is never any supplies in the craft room so we usually dont spend anytime in there. Would be great if the WonderPlace would remodel as it is outdated. It could be great like the childrens museums in Memphis, Fayetteville and Texas. Also, I find it more than irritating that parents who dont play with the equipment have to pay for themselves, yes its an easy way to earn a buck by charging this way but you dont have anything for the parents here.

Could be a delightful experience for young tots, but they let rowdy older children run amok among the younger tots, yelling and screaming and almost knocking the little ones down at times. Need to prevent mixing such small children (1 to 4) with the older ones (5 to 10) The parents who bring their older children need to supervise them more closely.

At first I thought it may be a little pricey but decided to bring my 5-year old daughter anyway bc of the chance of rain for the day. We stayed for about 2 hours and she had a blast. Looking back, it was well worth the money spent. It appears to be very clean and is also very spacious. There are so many different areas with different types of interactive play equipment, such as a water table, sand table, play area with Slides and stairs, a tiny River Market setup, a small café, a reading nook, A neat light up table, and a bunch of other fun things to do. They also have a cute gift shop that sells Melissa and Doug products. It was our first time visiting and the woman at the front desk was very sweet and informed me where the restroom and the vending machine were located right away just in case we might need something while we were playing. She was very informative. Will definitely go back if we get the chance in the future.

Review №69

I am just not a fan of this place! I have been numerous times and each time I leave disappointed. Our most recent visit was the worst. My 3 yo, 8 m old, and myself walked in behind a group with one adult and 6 kids. It took several minutes for them to pay, which was fine. Once they paid, the lady at the front desk completely ignored us and took them on a tour of the place. She then proceeded to take group pictures for them. If I hadnt promised my daughter we would come, I would have turned around and left. We stood at the front for close to 7 minutes waiting on her to come back. I expected her to apologize, but she did not. Didnt even cross her rude mind. No other employees in sight. We payed and then went to play. The kitchen area was a wreck of beaten up toys. A mom was busy texting while her baby was drooling and mouthing everything. The only bucket for toys that have been put in kids mouths is at the front. They need one on a shelf for each station. You cant leave your child or stop their play to take toys to the front. The craft area is always a mess. The sand table never has enough sand. I dont know how often they clean, wash dress up clothes, or rotate toys, but I cant imagine it is very often. The few times we have been it is always the same stuff. Making parents pay to watch your child play is a total rip off. I will never go back.

I was thinking about taking my twin toddlers and newborn to this place but from the look of the website I would have to nurse my baby in the bathroom. First of all, I would not be able to watch my other two children if I was stuck nursing in the bathroom. Second, would you want to eat in a bathroom?-- yucky. For a facility with families running around freely, one would think that nursing a baby in the midst of all this would be, say, a natural and acceptable part of family happenings. Please dont categorize a perfectly natural and necessary occurrence, such as feeding your baby from the breast with something else like defecation. This is a truly unsanitary request. Please dont shame a nursing mammas body.

Review №92

This place is pretty enjoyable for children 1-8. There are multiple areas for them to explore, create, and use their imaginations.However, I do think its pretty ridiculous to charge adults because EVERYTHING is for younger children. Parents are basically paying to stand around and watch your children play. I think this business would get more business if the adults were free or were to pay less than $5. Paying to stand around and watch your kids is crazy.Its like paying to stand and watch your children play with other children at the park . Theres NOTHING for adults to do, but stand or sit around until their kids get worn out.
