Indoor Playground suggestions

[Joanne White Wilson]

Hi everybody!

I am looking for a good indoor play area. I know of the McDonalds on McFarland South and Chick-Fil-A in Northport. Are there any others in town?

Thanks!

I wish we had places like Gymboree in town that offer free play. That would go over BIG here in town, someone should open up a franchise!

Z - LOL. I have thought of starting a gymboree franchise since we moved here 5 years ago. Seriously. I pored through their franchise requirements, etc .... I got stopped when I saw how much "liquid capital" was needed. LOL.

Yep, that would be a deal breaker for me too. lol. Still think it would be a terrific idea and I am sure someone in town has the interest in it AND the money to do it. Just gotta wait for them to do it. :) I once drove to Bham to a gymboree class to see if it would be worth the drive. Fraid not...

It would be great to see a franchise similar to Fun Factory here. That place makes me claustrophobic whenever I have the misfortune of attending a birthday party there. Ugh. There's a great place where my parents live in Virginia called Kangaroo Jack's with huuuuge inflatables and fun stuff for all ages. I wish we'd get something like that here.

Until that day, keep playing on the Chick-fil-A playground!! Our playground is the only one in the area that is professionally cleaned by a company out of Birmingham. Tell me hi when you come in.

Oh hi! I didn't recognize you by your given name. You should know that we absolutely love Chick Fil A, it is our favorite place to take our son. So, thank you for bringing it to Northport!!

I've seen them in there cleaning, and they do not mess around! :) That makes me very happy. Will say hi next time I'm in!

My pleasure! We love being in Northport. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you when you are eating with me!

Yeah, that is what like best about the Chick-Fil-A playground, it is actually clean! Every McDonald's playground I have ever seen is GROSS!!

Moozle and Z, I have also thought long and hard about opening a Gymboree!!!! Caden went to classes once a week in Chicago from 4 months- 15 months when we moved south. We all loved it and I think it helped her a lot as a little one with eye tracking, head control, tummy time, etc! I too think it would be a big hit here! Funny how mommies all think alike!
