Our family has gone only on Saturday and Sunday mornings and all
three times it has been very quiet. You enter through the front door
which is Wonka-like with three sized openings: one of adults, one for
children and one for tiny tiny chickens or teacup dogs.  (SEE PHOTO)
The kids get a complete kick out of it. Upon entering, you encounter a
series of handles, knobs, cranks and slots- your first clue that this
was a former hardware store. The kids love all the hardware and pipes
that they can twist and feel.  The rest of the decor is equally
unusual: maps, globes, trunks, exotic prints, animal images and flat
screens with BBC’s "Blue Planet" and old Bugs Bunny cartoons playing.
Everything about this place harkens back to times where exploration was
full of wonder and travel was an adventure, not an annoyance. It is
equally fun for adults and children to examine the pictures and foreign
objects.You order your food downstairs at a cafeteria-type area that I’m not
crazy about. It is in discordance with the considered downstairs
decor.  However, the breakfast fare is fine: I have ordered both
oatmeal, pancakes and eggs and have been satisfied with it all.  They
give you a number and you walk upstairs to even more seating. Upstairs
is the best.It is warm with yellow painted walls, wooden floors and colorful
lamps suspended from the ceiling. There is a separate activity room in
the back that has a nice-sized table with paper, crayons and markers.
There are dollhouses, trunks full of paper bricks and tubs of sea
animals, trucks and legos. It is all neatly kept and organized.
Upstairs the adults can eat and keep an eye on their children playing.
It makes for one of the most restful eating experiences I have had with
children and other families. Part of it is due to the fact that the
environment is calm and the children don’t seem to grab each other’s
toys since there are so many available. Most of it is due to the
helpers who are stationed in the activity room. They play with your
child, help them turn on the computers and find appropriate material
for them, locate books of interest for your child and just be a sitter
for a bit. Yesterday the owner, Nate, spent a lot of time playing with
me and Birch. It was nice to have a foil to play with and he was
genuinely interested in helping the kids find the right toys to furnish
their imagination.
