What locals say

Insider tip 📍 Thinkery

Features a highly unique indoor climbing structure. Adults can generally climb with kids, though it is cramped. Check for adult-only events where they sell drinks on-site.

Insider tip toddler 📍 Thinkery

Excellent interactive museum for toddlers. There is a nice public playground with shade trees and ducks in the pond right across the street.

“The playground across the street from the Thinkery is really nice and has some shade trees for the adults.”
