Simsalabim

Just about a 20 minute drive from here there is an indoor playground for kids called Simsalabim.
This morning (and afternoon) we took Victoria to check it out. We met some friends there who have a toddler Victoria's age. It's great because, aside from being cool people, they are raising their girl bilingual as well. The dad is English and the mom is German.
Here are a couple of pics of this place. It's huge! Just ginormous. They have a few different play areas set up for kids of different age groups. There is also a bit of a restaurant/cafe in there for the parents to sit and chat or whatever, even a couple of pool tables. There was a go-kart area, train, small carousel, several trampolines, a giant playland in the center with ladders and bridges and nerf-ball machine guns, giant slides, giant inflated castles, and so on - you get the idea. It's a big place.
Victoria's favorite was most likely the big slide we went down (together), but she was really eye-balling the go-karts. She kept trying to run over there and get in a car. She's much too small still but that certainly doesn't stop her.
Here are a few pics of the place to give you an idea of the layout and size.


And here is a nice shot of Victoria coming over for a short break. A very short break.


And here is mommy and kiddo with our friends.


All in all a very good day. Victoria had a blast discovering so many things. I think it'll be our new haunt - particularly on cold winter days.
