As
a mother I am a firm believer in letting my kids have lots and lots of free
uninterrupted play time. But it is easier said than done. I have two growing up
boys and like most of us living in Mumbai, very limited space. I have been
looking out for options which would not only satiate the ever growing boys’
need of adventure but is also safe and secure. While discussing the same thing
with one of my friends who was in the same dilemma, I came to know about this
place which my friend said , “ It is as adventurous as rock climbing but safe
enough for even a 5 year old to do it”.
It
sounded like a perfect solution to my problem. Of course I landed up at the
place as soon as possible. But like any concerned mother, I was not sure of
what I would find. I had so many questions! Will
it be safe? Will it be clean? Are my kids too young for this? This looks scary,
will they be able to do it? Etc etc
But
I kid you not; my each and every worry was put to rest. The place not only
looked magnificent, it was safe and kid friendly too. I was relieved to see
that the staff made sure even my 5 year old really naughty brat sat down and
listened to the instructions before they started.
The
safety harness was up to date and all kids were personally attended by the
staff. Before I talk about how awesome the facilities were, I would like to say
a few more things about the staff. Both my kids were helped and encouraged on
every thing that they tried. My elder one took to it like a pro but was still
diligently followed and taken care of by the staff. My 5 year old on the other
hand was really scared and was absolutely refusing to even try anything. It was
the cajoling, help and encouragement of the staff that he indeed tried almost
everything and ended up having a ball.
The
facilities at the place were absolutely awesome. It is one of the best
adventure spaces I have seen for kids. They have made a perfect use of the
space. Each and everything looks like someone has paid a special attention to
the needs of kids.
There
were a lot of kids enjoying and still it didn’t seem over crowded. Everything
is very well organised. My kids even after hours didn’t want to come back. From
that day to now, I get asked almost daily about going back to “Let’s play”. As
a mother it is really reassuring to find a place that is not only kid friendly
and warm but it also takes care of the adventure needs of growing up kids. We
cannot wait to go back to it and this time it won’t only be kids having fun. We
are planning to join them as well. Yes, the place is not only for kids, it is
as fun for adults too.
