Kidnetix Edu-Play Centre

Brought my niece here was excited from the description on the website but I wasn’t as able to play with her as I would have liked. When we got off the bus we weren’t even sure the place was open. Also the price wasn’t what it said on the website it said it was 8 but it was 9 with tax. Prices for tokens for games wasn’t bad $ 5 for 15 tokens but about half of the games were oit of order I thought since I paid to come in the games should be free. All in all I wouldn’t come back I was disappointed.

We showed up with two little ones just as the place was supposed to be opening, at 10. It didn’t look open, so I sat outside for a few minutes watching the cars speed by on the 401 only a few feet away. Finally I tried the door and it was open, and I stood around for a bit until a staff member came by. She was on the phone – in fact, she was on the phone the entire time we were there. The place wasn’t set up yet and she was vacuuming the place and setting up a party room, all while on the phone.
I’m not a fan of this place for my kids. One room was ice cold (it was December). I didn’t find the padding at the foot of the slides sufficient, and the thin carpet over the concrete floor has no bounce to it and any kid who falls would get a pretty good bang. The climbing equipment was not easy to move around on, and I didn’t have easy access to the kids when they were high up in the climbing apparati when I needed to. There’s a climbing wall with no padding on the ground below – one quick slip to the barely covered concrete below.
Perhaps most egregiously, there wasn’t any coffee – that would have been a nice touch for the adults – and nowhere really for the parents to sit down.
It’s $ 8 each kid to play all day, which for us was about an hour. Not the best value to me. I prefer the Amazon playground on Vaughn Road, and the best I’ve seen so far is Amazing Adventures in Burlington; it would have been worth the drive.

Ok, the place is really huge, and they have some arcade games to play too. but that day, we arrived at almost 4, and the lady said that we couldn’t stay and play, because they were going to have a party at 4, and we must not stay. :(what a pity.
oh well, that day was actually not a good day to play because there was NO AIR CONDITIONING! Could you imagine how hot it would be???
anyway, I hope they can fix the A/​C soon, and we will definitely go there again. It’s good that it’s so close to Yorkdale mall, so, after we left this playground, we went to the mall for a little shopping.
2^nd time experience: much better this time, we went there at 10am! and there weren’t so crowded at all. most important thing: A/​C worked!
