Huge Price Reduction - Business Closing 3/28/10
This business is an 8,600 square feet indoor playground with things to do for young children in a conveniently located shopping center in an upscale CT Fairfield County community (Monroe, CT). Children from infants to nearly 5 year old have a place to play, make believe and have fun with parents and other children.
This indoor play space is a great place to go when the weather is too hot or too cold or too rainy or snowy. It is an ideal place to bring you child especially since the area here is suburban and houses are far apart on busy streets. It is also perfect for families living on streets where there aren’t same age children for their child to play with.
It was built “completely out of need” for moms, dads, grandparents, nannies & anyone who loves children. It is an alternative to daycare centers and places that have supervised structured programs for children (like kid’s gyms or other sports related centers etc.). Here the parent or guardian supervises and/or plays with their children right in the playground area.
