To escape, we had to solve about 20 puzzles over four rooms. Great fun! Teamwork is definitely required. Lateral thinking is required. Some physical dexterity is required.

Kidcity is temporarily closed so that we don't add to the coronavirus crisis. We'll re-open when things are getting back to normal! Imagination play for kids from 1 to 7 and their favorite grown-ups. Picked by Yankee Magazine in 2012 as the "Best Indoor Adventure" in New England!

Great pretend play experience for 2-5 year olds! Had two 2 year olds, one 3 year old, and one 4 year old. Loved all the play areas that allow kids to imagine! The dinosaurs tucked into an alcove were a hit when the older two needed a break from the crowd. The boat and fish were popular although the boys fought over the fish! Never enough! The block room was a nice place to calm down and create as well as share with other kids. The oldest boy loved the medieval room, flinging the balls and building with blocks. We brought lunch and had plenty if room to eat and drink before returning to play. I am sad that COVID has limited these play spaces, but look forward to returning when safe. I hope our family membership is pro-rated! I have not checked. Great space, miss KID CITY!

I was looking for things to see in the area, while on a day trip and I just love waterfalls. So when I saw there was a waterfalls we just had to stop and visit before making our way home. Little did we know at the time there was a long way and a short way to the falls, Lol. So we made the big hike right after lunch and just before sunset. Needless to say we burned off a few calories by the time we reached the falls. Just as we arrived at the falls, the park rangers asked if we made the hike because the park closed at dusk in about 45 minutes. We had no idea that there was a parking lot right next to the falls. So rule of thumb make sure if you are up for the hike, bring good walking shoes, a bottle of water, a use the facilities before you start out on your journey. Or if not have your GPS bring you to the closer parking lot. Lol
