Speaking of family fun. We hadn't been in the Ball Factory since around our first visit (as a family around four or so years ago). With all the talk of Kid Zone leaving and a real crowded day at the park, we spent about an hour there tonight.
I had forgotten how fun that place can be for the whole family! I really can't think of anything else like it anywhere. I didn't partake any, just had fun snapping some pictures and just watching everyone have a blast...it was just nice watching parents having fun with their kids, the kids having a blast...heck, my wife even becomes a child in there.
It is a shame that it is so hidden as I doubt many know about it, but I just find it brilliant that a playground the whole family can enjoy together was created....it is so much more enjoyable than just watching your kid(s) play, to just become young again and have fun right along side them!
