Grandparent-approved logistics

Cold drinks, seating, and no need to climb anything.

The Pterodactyl Café sits beside the play floor, with seating and open sightlines into the main structure. The toddler area is separate, padded, and low to the ground.

  • Indoor and air-conditioned
  • Cold drinks, meals and snacks
  • Restrooms and seating on site

A real day out

You don’t need a hotel to give them a fall break they remember.

Nine themed attractions, three levels, giant slides and a toddler area make a regular Tuesday feel like the event of the week — all in Madison, just north of Nashville.
