How to plan a great day for kids

Which experience is right for your child?

Entertainment centers can combine several experiences under one roof, while individual attractions focus on active climbing, racing, immersive games or free play. They are also useful places to consider when planning a birthday celebration or a family outing at a major shopping mall.

Before you visit

Check height, age and weight restrictions, supervision rules, waivers, footwear, reservation windows and whether a ticket covers one activity or several. If visiting a mall, verify the attraction’s hours independently of general shopping-center hours.
