Saturday, March 29 was very rainy and so I decided to take Liam to KidCity. Although it
had a lot of rooms, it also had A LOT of people and it was $16 for the
two of us (plus parking). It opened up at 9am but we were running a bit later and didn't get there till 9:30am. When we first walked in, there was a train that Liam could look at while I paid and got a map of the play-center. Liam got a stamp for the toddler area (sea cave, in the basement) and we hung up our coats. We got on the elevator and down to the sea cave we went.
 |
| Down, down we go |
 |
| The sea cave was just for toddlers and had lots of caves to climb in/on/through. |
 |
| Liam had fun climbing on everything. |
 |
| And he LOVED going down the slide (although he refused to let go of the horses). |
 |
| We made our way up to the third floor to the "music room". Liam is banging on the wall. |
 |
| On the side of this bridge were some gongs. |
 |
| Liam loved running back and forth on the bridge. He may not speak much, he is very coordinated. |
 |
| This is a rain-maker seesaw. He loved it, especially when a little boy was on the other side and bounced him up high. |
 |
| Liam couldn't stay away from the train tracks. |
 |
| Here he was in the farm room, "picking" carrots. |
 |
| Liam went into the Space Age Road Trip room, which had a spaceship, as well as, a couple dark rooms. |
 |
| Here is one of the dark rooms that were filled with gems that lit up. |
 |
| He enjoyed moving the gems from one hole to anther, while watching them light up |
 |
| We made it into the Fisheries room, filled with rubber fish and (manual) conveyor belts. |
 |
| Liam is under one of the structures, moving a conveyor belt full of fish. |
 |
| Liam loves balancing beams, and was pointing for mommy to climb up on the beam with him. |
 |
| He did a great job on the beam, going back and forth. |
 |
| The rubber fish have magnets on one end that allow them to hang on the ceiling as they move. |
 |
| An overview shot of the room... really crowded, but you can see all the conveyor belts. |
 |
| One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. |
 |
| Liam a future Captain? |
 |
| At around 11, it was lunch time and there was a perfect, toddler friendly snack area. |
 |
| After snack, we went and saw dinosaurs! |
 |
| He loved climbing under and being surrounded by dinosaurs (and playing peekaboo). |
 |
| We found a car in the Main Street. He really liked "driving" and pressing more buttons. |
 |
| Liam had a visitor come by and join him. He was a bit nervous and wouldn't look at her strait on. |
 |
| And then, he got a bit upset when she tried to take over the driving. |
 |
| Cars! |
 |
| Liam was very content being surrounded by cars and track. |
 |
| As we were leaving he wanted to see the train one last time and I convinced him to go into the tube. |
 |
| He liked following the train around and around. |
Kidcity was a great place to visit, even with the vast amounts of parents and kids running around. We would definitely go again.
