Playland

We will be going here tomorrow for a birthday party.  Obviously we’ve been here and taken pictures at least twice, but for a variety of reasons I haven’t shown them to you until now.

There is a wise old tree that invites people into the cafe area.

and all manner of tubes, tunnels, slides, bridges, obstacles, hideouts and other fun things!

There are some less active entertainments like music . . .

and origami.

P1070041There is a well-equipped infant/toddler area, not that I could actually keep my toddler in it.  Or my preschooler out of it, go figure!

And in case the parents want to get active as well they have exercise mats and a reflexology station.  For the not-so-active parents they have massage chairs.

They even have super-cool (and super-clean) bathrooms that include child-size toilets and sinks!  Yes, I’m showing you a picture of the bathroom.  It’s okay; you can laugh at me!

P1070077But you have to agree that this is genius—a little fold-down seat to pop your toddler into so that you can use the toilet without the child escaping underneath the door.

Are American places this well-equipped?  We’ll find out!

  2. those fold down seats and fancy toilets at the aquarium are still some of my favorite parts about our trip. What a great place for a party. Make Chuck E Cheese look lame. :)
