We arrived at 10:30, about an hour before Mickey was supposed to be there at 11:30. Maddie immediately went into the little house before I could even pay our entry fee!
The play space was lovely, nice and clean, and also very close to us with easy, free street parking! What's also great is they have a fridge and microwave to bring your own food! And they have free coffee and tea for the adults! It was smaller than say Little Beans, but it was cozy. They have a little house with babies and baby clothes, and a super market with lots of shopping carts for the kids. They had tons of push cars, a train set and a ton of toys. There is even a little theater section with individual theater seats and a TV. Not sure if it is only used for parties.
Maddie had a blast! She loved putting all the little foods into her grocery cart. But I think her favorite thing was the little house. She found a little baby and I gave her a blanket and told her to put it on the baby so it wasn't cold and she just loved putting the blanket on and off the baby. She did not want to sit down to eat her snack/lunch so we did not eat her full lunch there as I had intended, she kept getting distracted (understandably so).
I forgot to mention they had a 6 year old white goldfish named Ramona in a fish tank by the kitchen. Maddie loved looking at her and making her fish face and noises.
Mickey finally made his appearance at about 12:00pm (I realized later that the face painter who was there at 11:30 was also Mickey!). Maddie LOVED seeing Mickey and kept saying "Hi Mickey!" and waving at him. Mickey was pretty scary looking... he was not the Disney Mickey Mouse, but an older looking version of him. The parents all thought he looked creepy and so did a few of the children, but overall most of the kids enjoyed his visit.
After meeting Mickey twice, it was time to head home. I gave Maddie a lollipop from the jar they had at the counter and we headed home.
In all I loved the play space and will try to be back soon!
