HOW WILL I KEEP MY CHILDREN OCCUPIED?
While our shop may be sort of like a fun house, it is filled with many twists and turns and breakables, private fitting rooms, a scary Halloween room, an 18+ room of playboys and there are many ways a kiddo can get hurt or end up somewhere they shouldn't be.
There are many fun points within the store in terms of secret passageways and small attractions. We recommend having a few adults who can take turns watching kids if possible. And also check out our Passport to Paradise activity!
