About Universal Kids
There's no place offering more fun and excitement than Universal Kids.
We seek to bring kids, families and the community together in a fun, safe, healthy and educational environment. Kids can have fun playing in our large indoor Climb & Play structure or the toddler play area. Both have fun ball pools that are sanitized weekly. Our toddler play area even has all new manipulative tables to keep even the pickiest child engaged and busy. With colorful mats children will be recognizing their numbers and letters or learning hopscotch all while parents relax in our newly located "Parents corner". Located right in the structure room you never have to juggle between taking a little time for yourself and supervising your children!
At Universal Kids we believe that every aspect of life should be fun and educational. That's why our redesigned play areas have plenty of interactive and educational toys.
Our "Engineering Room" is designed with creativity in mind. With a wide variety of construction toys such as Duplo Blocks ®, Legos, Plastic Pipe Connectors, Gears and even the opportunity to build your own marble run (complete with sound and a marble launcher!), children can create structures limited only by their imaginations.
The "Laboratory" allows children to look at the fish in our aquarium, put on a lab coat complete with safety goggles to explore the rocks found in our "Crater Crawl." They can enjoy Kaleidoscopes, noise tubes, gather information about the united States and the Solar System, play with the interactive globe and even measure the "bones" we have found in space.
Housekeeping areas are very important aspects of play. Children will place themselves into roles and act out not only what they see at home, but also in school and in public. That is why our kitchen area has been remodeled to reflect our concession area. The "Cosmo Cafe" allows all your budding astronauts, engineers, scientists and visitors to grab a quick bite to eat. Don't worry parents, if they get hungry for real food there's always the Cosmic Cafe. We serve kids meals, complete with apples, a drink and a cool toy, pizza bites, nuggets, Tofu Pups, Hot Dogs, juice, soda, water, cookies, go-gurts and much more!
Every space station needs an infirmary and our play station in no exception. Our "Infirmary" offers a waiting room, bandages, a hospital Johnny, tools, model bones and uniforms. We worked very hard to remember every detail, including the medicine cabinet, prescriptions and paper on the beds. Of course, Astronaut Bob is always found in the Infirmary taking a nap and playing patient for all the apprentice doctors in our station.
What's a Space Station with out an Alien? We have left no detail out, with alien costumes, doctors costumes, an interactive "metal detector" and even a security station... there will be plenty for your children and you to do. Parents if you need a break, enjoy a cup of coffee and a magazine in our concession area while your child delivers the Space Station mail in our sleek NASA Mail Car!
No matter what brings you to Universal Kids, you time spent here will be a memorable experience.
