What exactly is Adventure Playground? It truly is a little bit of everything. Ideal for kids from 5-12, Adventure Playground offers a variety of activities including mudslides, fort building, and rafting on a small pond.

We must confess, rafting on a pond sure looks like fun. This may be the one activity that brings out the kid in all of us. Even the grown-ups.

The designated Building Area is equally enchanting. You’ll find that kids enjoy having the chance to use their imagination and play builder for the afternoon in a setting that encourages creativity and hands-on play.
