This is a great alternative to the park. Especially for toddlers, where park equipment can sometimes be too challenging... I feel like I can let my 2 year old run free at Under the Sea. Somehow it seems like I can get a little break too. The only bad thing is that it's hard for parents who work to take their kids. They close on weekends for birthday parties. We've been to a couple birthdays here and they are so much fun. They have a special chair for the birthday kid - and goody bags for the guests. The cake is really cute (under the sea theme) and tasty.
