Jumpin Jungle Outing

TIME:  6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

"Because of weight restrictions this event is designed for ages 1 to 10.  The inflatables are designed for 100 lbs or less."

We have geared our business around promoting physical activity, motor skills development and exercise for kids of all ages. We feel that physical and social development at an early age will benefit a child for years to come so we have  reduced the types of stimuli that condone passive, monotone behavior and filled our center with all types of equipment that allow children to run, jump, crawl, slide, and, well....just be kids!

With activities for a range of ages (1-10), parents can feel comfortable bringing their families and know that there will be something for almost everyone!  

PLEASE NOTE:  No shoes may be worn inside the play area. 

PARENTS:  Bring slippers to wear. 

MEMBERS:  FREE   NON-MEMBERS:  $4.00 per child

Sleeping Beauty
Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 2:00 pm - (youtheater)

A sleeping princess, a spellbound Prince and more fairies than you can shake a stick at are all part of this quirky adaptation of the popular tale. The King and Queen failed to invite Trollarina to the christening of their new daughter, Princess Melisande. The evil Trollarina exacts her revenge on the royal family by sending the beautiful Princess into an everlasting sleep, but little does she realize more than one spell is about to be broken by the kiss of an enchanted Faun.

Peter Pan Jr
Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 2:00 pm - (youtheater)

It’s the timeless tale about a boy who wouldn't grow up. The score includes classic Disney songs, such as "You Can Fly," "The Second Star to the Right" and "Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me." Wendy Darling loves to tell stories to her brothers, Michael and John. But when her father announces she must move out of the nursery, Peter Pan comes to visit the children and whisks them away to Neverland. The adventure features the Lost Boys, singing Mermaids, dancing Indians and of course the infamous pirate, Captain Hook!
