Some feedback on previous events…
"For my kids it is really nice coming here because of all the creative activities, as a way to keep them away from tablets and all the screens you know? My daughter loved making friendship bracelets while my son likes any outdoor activity"
"As a family of 5 it's hard to find activities for all of us, and not expensive ones. It's nice that here there's something for everyone, and enjoying free rolls makes it even better! My kids prefer doing practical stuff, my daughter likes crafts like making the friendship bracelets, while my 4 year old son loves outdoor activities"
"It's our first time here and we're enjoying it all. My kid was really into the solar panels showcase"
