Testimonials

On 3/30/2025 Bonnie Terchin had this to say:
It was a beautiful place, and our grandchildren 8 and 9 were amazed and impressed by variations of texture, material details and the presentation of each display! They totally enjoyed the interactive game! It was so well lit, spacious,.. I couldn't believe believe we spent an hour and a half.. It reminded me of my own sons at the same age 40 years ago at the Elmhurst location.... they had the same appreciation. So glad I took them there during spring break! They will not forget it.
