Why families come
What you're driving out for
One roof, nine attractions, and a seat with a clear view of all of it.
The main structure, from the floor to the top deck.
- 01
A play structure they can get lost in
Multiple levels of tunnels, climbs, and slides, big enough that a seven-year-old runs out of daylight before they run out of routes. Open sightlines from the seating below.
See the attractions - 02
A toddler zone of their own while the older kids play on the 3 story play structure
Ages 1 to 4 play in a separate, soft-floored space — no older kids barrelling through. You can sit down inside it and still be within arm's reach.
About the toddler zone - 03
Birthday parties we run for you
A private table, a set time slot, and someone else handling setup and cleanup. You show up with the cake and leave when the last guest does.
Party packages
Ages 1 – 4
Ages 1 to 4 have a place of their own
The toddler zone is walled off from the main structure, with padded flooring, low climbs, and quiet corners. It's built for the age where everything goes in the mouth and nothing goes in a straight line — and it means you're not spending the visit steering a two-year-old away from the big slide.

Before you come
What to know before you come
Nothing here is a surprise if you read it now. It's only annoying if you find it out at the counter.
Non-slip socks are required
Everyone who plays needs grip socks — kids and any adult going into the structure. It's a traction thing on the climbs and slides.
We sell them at the door
$3.95 / pair
Grab a pair when you check in. They're yours to keep, so bring the same pair back next time.
Outside socks aren't accepted
Even grip socks from another park. Ours are the only ones we can vouch for, so plan on picking up a pair the first time you visit.

10/10 experience! We were visiting from FL. My 4 kids had an absolute blast here! It was very clean. The AC was blowing cold. The adults were allowed to climb up and play with the kiddos! The women’s restroom was super cute and also clean! It was so much fun

Very clean and safe play area and the best part is parents get to participate as well (or sit if you prefer). We had so much fun!

This place was so cool. We went on a Thursday and it was as only $25 for my and my toddler with the socks. There was so much to do. It wasn’t busy at all. Maybe 5 other families. The bathroom was cute and very clean, even had a stool for the little ones. It was definitely worth the money. We will be back. We didn’t try to food but the pizza looked and smelled good.

Surprisingly clean, the kiddos had a blast and wore themselves out! Whoever designed it did a lot with the space, I was impressed.

A spectacular addition to the already growing and exciting RiverGate area. Lots of parking and a super clean facility that opened in 2023. Spectacular fun for younger kids. Make sure you note, parties are for kids 10 and under.
