10 Reasons We (Still) Love Great Play!
Macaroni Kid, Rivertowns edition
Why our love affair with this 'gym for kids' is still going strong:
- The coaches ROCK. They are as energetic and positive as the day they opened. My son loves them and they love him back!
- It is CLEAN. Yep! I had my doubts that they could keep it as pristine as when they opened but it passes my white glove test every time.
- They continually change it up and add new activities and equipment.
- They base the toddler play on real research and each class is designed to challenge that particular age group in all the right ways.
- The music is good (even though I wish they'd play Jethro Tull just a bit more often!)
- It is safe. In fact EVERY detail regarding safety is addressed.
- GREAT parking.
- Next door to Lakeshore so if my son is particularly good he gets a toy OR if we have a birthday present to buy it saves us an extra trip!
- They are amazingly flexible scheduling makeups!
- The open gym is a LIFE SAVER on rainy or extremely hot days when the park just isn't possible!

"Unique and extraordinary!"
"Harry, my son, he just absolutely loved it, he had the time of his life," said Katie Jones... "He can't wait to come in the mornings. I think it's just a great mix of physical activity. I love the interactive screens on the wall, it just makes it so much fun." - Redmond Reporter

"One-of-a-kind concept in the children's gym category"
On opening in Scarsdale, NY: "It was the combination of this updated curriculum, the engaging high-tech
environment and the reaction from customers of Great Play that convinced Mark
Steinberg, one of the owners of Midway, to lease a highly coveted space at the
center to Great Play over several competing potential tenants."
