Pretend City

        Yesterday I went to the BEST PLACE FOR KIDS EVER!!! It is perfect for any children who still have a creative imagination and a pair of active legs (most kids there were ages 2-8). It's called Pretend City (how cool is that?!) and has only been open for about a year. I went there for YAT (Youth Action Team), a program offered in our district for all grades 4th-12th. Us YAT kids went there just to make a little play for them. It had a bunch of mistakes in it, but the toddlers really enjoyed it! Pretend City really makes them happy - I wish I were only 5 years old so I could enjoy the fun too. XD
        Well, after the play, we got to play with the kiddies, and I was able to examine the place. Pretend City is basically a mini city for toddlers, and it basically gives the kids a "grown-up environment", with plenty of "grown-up activities". It has  a "house", a mini theater stage, a grocery store, a mini golf ground, a fountain, a hospital, a firehouse, an art studio, a beach, a cafe, a farm, and even an ATM Machine! To get "money" from the ATM Machine, all you have to do is have a card from the front desk, and get a stamp from each work place (ex:art studio, cafe, firehouse, etc.). Supposedly, for each stamp you get to insert the card one time into the machine, but 12 year old smarties like me have figured out you don't need stamps; you can just insert the card as many times as you like. :P ...well, the employee told me. ;)  Anyways, it is an AWESOME PLACE. It has bunches of things for kids to do like watch the live chicks fumble around in the farm. I totally recommend this place for any of you toddler parents out there.
