We went to The Discovery Stop in Londonderry today, October 7, 2008 and here is my review.....
Parking: Plenty (It is located in a strip mall off of 102)
Gate/Admission: [$$] The staff is very friendly. They give you a bin to put your shoes in. (Good socks day!)
Birthday Parties: Yes
Bathrooms: They have large bathrooms with changing tables!
Cleanliness: The facility is very clean. Some of the toys in the Toddler area look worn, but they are clean and orderly.
Store: They have a snack counter with drinks and snacks. The prices looked fair. They also have a small store section where they sell toys. (mostly wooden educational toys)
You can bring food and eat it by the snack counter, but make sure you do not pack any nut products!
Overall: I had been to The Discovery Stop once before when my son was under a year old. Now that he is older (he's 2) I like it better! There is more for him to do. They have an awesome play structure that the kids love to climb around and explore. Today it was very quiet and all of the children were around my son's age, so the structure was great. I have been there though when the place is packed and older children are in the structure. It can get a bit rough. They have a play kitchen area, a Post office, cars for the kids to ride in, blocks, crafts, fun discovery tables, a small boat for the children to play in and they have two digging stations for children 4 and older. My son and I enjoyed our visit today. I will definitely go back. The climbing structure alone is worth the trip.
This looks like a fun place for kids. I love finding new things to do with my children!
ReplyDeleteThe owner needs to get a personality. How can someone that owns a place for kids not SMILE
ReplyDeleteI wondered if this was the place where I read the review that the owner needs to learn to smile, I would agree. When we first arrived it was a madhouse with about 100 kids and parents apparently there was a field trip. Luckily they did not stay much longer or I would have left as it was too crowded. The climbing structure was great. Parents be prepared to follow your kids in there. I definitely got my workout in for the day. I thought their prices were very reasonable and would go again!
ReplyDeleteOh one more thing to add. They do id bracelets so that you exit with the child/ren you entered with. My son was able to take his off and lose it, so I think it would be better if they did a type of stamping system as they do at Chuck E Cheese.
