Kids In Motion

Nick spend the weekend with us, and Amy Hink sent me a message that she was taking Lawson and Weston to Kids in Motion on Sunday, and did we want to meet them there.  Yes, sounds like a plan!  Kids in Motion is located on Greenfield and about 141st street.  We went on Sunday 11am, just as it opened.  I filled out the waiver and paid the admission fee as Scott took off Nicks jacket and shoes.  Lawson and Weston were waiting for us, and all that was left to do was to take off our shoes and head in.  I had told Nick a head of time that this was going to be like the Bubbles Academy he attends in Chicago and that Lawson and Weston would be there, so he seemed pretty excited.
We walked in and all three boys ran into the huge climbing gym.

There were rollers, big balls, slides, tunnels and all three ran, crawled, slide around everything.

Then we suggested, let's go see what else is here.  And the boys followed us into the Construction Room.
There is soft pebbles on the ground, large dump trucks, shovels, brooms and a ramp.  A dump truck is filled with the pebbles, push it up the ramp, dump the cargo into the pit, then the powered conveyor belt takes the pebbles up and dumps them into a big container, then turn the handle at the bottom of the container and the pebbles come out and fill up the back of the dump truck...completeing the circle.

OR just play!

The rooms are side by side.  Next we went into the

Train Room.  And anyone that knows Nick, knows this is the room he won't want to leave.  There was a table to set up

wooden train tracks, but Nick really liked the train that went around the top of the room.  There is also the large Lego blocks and regular blocks on other tables in the room to construct a tower, or anything you want.  

Weston then spent some time in the store, taking items off the shelf and working the register.   I walked around to see what other fun places were here.

There is a room for the budding artist, and a room filled with musical instruments.  There is also a puzzle room and a Science room for future scientists.

 One room has a small stage and a box of costumes for any performers and there is an open area that had ping pong, a large connect 4, air hockey and checkers.  For the older kids there is a laser tag, though that does cost extra to play.  

Then suddenly, something brought all the small frys out of their rooms, the bubble machine was turned on and kids started jumping and popping the bubbles.

Nick came out looked around, popped one bubble and went back to the trains.

It was soon time to go, so Nick said good bye to the train,

and good bye to Weston (Superman) and Lawson and Amy.  It was a success, Nick had fun!

Kids in Motion is located at 14135 W. Greenfield, New Berlin.  It is open Mon thru Saturday 9 am to 7pm. On Sundays 11 am to 6 pm.  Monday through Thursday it costs $6.00 plus tax and Friday, Saturday and Sunday $10.00 plus tax.  Adults are free and needed to supervise their little ones.

They host birthday parties, preschool classes, science and art and crafts activities and they are a Socks Only facility.  They have assorted snacks for sale, and you can order a pizza if you are going to be there for a while.

Overall, I thought it was very clean, (they supply bags by the rooms to put any toys that may have made it into your child's mouth by mistake) with a variety of things to keep most youngsters entertained.  Not much for kids younger than l year, just a very small area to crawl around in, but I think this is geared toward preschoolers to 6 year olds.

We give it a thumbs up, Nick had fun and we had fun watching him.
