    • You and your child can enjoy up to 4 hours of non-stop fun during the daily Open Play sessions. Open Play offers 4 specialized spaces for you and your child to engage in a multitude of activities. The Mini Gym is probably #1 on most kid's lists. Children and their parents have been seen bouncing along the 15' long tumble track into the giant ball bit, towering on top of the padded mountain climber, swinging like monkeys on the low bar and rings, navigating across balance beams and tunnels, and even setting up huge forts! Let the creative juices flow! Tot Spot's Art Room is chock full of art supplies that would appease every fine young artist. Our supplies are for your child's enjoyment so dig on in. We even have a guided Messy Art Project throughout each month! Kids love The Lounge to cook up a pretend meal, rearrange the magnet board, or use team work to put together one of many Melissa & Doug giant floor puzzles! Plus it's the the closest room to the office where the kids like to visit with whoever is running the front desk. And finally The Play Room is the place to be for relaxing play time. Build and re-build the train tracks, dress up in your favorite make believe costume, build a tower, or grab one of the many toys from the toy shelf. This space is ideal for little ones and older children like it too! Adults can cozy up in a bean bag and watch or get into the play time with their kids.
