    Love Marbles Children’s Museum, the kids all had an amazing time. The only thing I have a problem with is charging the parents or guardian’s admission, I mean of course you have to be there watching your kids but you’re actually not doing anything else. Whenever you go to other places like the trampoline parks you don’t pay unless you are also jumping. You are there to watch and take care of your kids. Plus $20 for parking on top of admission is rediculous! It’s a great place, the kids love it, it’s a good day of entertainment for them, but it’s very pricey. On top of that you need to eat also, which adds to the cost. All in all a great time just very costly!
