Kid's Town

It's been raining on and off here STILL so Sydney and I went to an indoor playroom called Kid's Town that is popular with the Moms here. It's a big room with toys set up in vignettes. There's a barber shop for kids to primp in, a hospital room, a room for blocks, a firehouse, a grocery store, a room with toy cars and trains, etc. There's an art room for kids to paint to their heart's content. There is a room decorated to look like outside with a dog house and a stuffed dog inside, and a mail box. I'm not sure what the kids are supposed to do in there. Sydney's favorite rooms were the barber shop (she loves to brush her hair and put clips in it, especially when I'm trying to do it) and the train room, and playing with the toy cars where she can climb in and push around like Fred Flinstone.

You can buy snacks here for kids and there's a magazine room for Moms to hang out while their kids play. I was surprised at how happy I was to see US Weekly and People Magazine in the magazine room. There are many ayis walking around, picking up after the kids and babysitters to watch the kids if you wanted them to. You pay the equivalent of US$17 and you can come and go as you wish for an entire day. We stayed for 1 1/2 hours and Sydney was so over it that we didn't need to come back.
