Very disappointing and stressful experience for a place that claims to be family-friendly and child-centered. My wife and I brought our two young children (ages 2 and 4) after driving 40 minutes specifically so they could enjoy this place. We paid, entered, and were never informed at the front desk that only socks purchased on-site were allowed. Our children were wearing high-quality, rubber anti-slip socks, specifically designed for play areas. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, a very young staff member (around 14–15 years old) approached us with an unprofessional and confrontational tone, insisting the children must buy their socks or he would call the manager. I calmly explained that the socks were appropriate and even safer than the ones sold there, but instead of resolving the issue respectfully, the situation escalated. When the manager arrived, she immediately demanded that we leave the facility with our children and threatened to call the police, over SOCK COLOR, while my kids were peacefully playing and smiling. No attempt was made to de-escalate, no refund was offered, and no empathy was shown. As a parent, I found this behavior shocking and unacceptable. The children did nothing wrong, yet they were the ones punished. If this rule is so strict, it should be clearly communicated BEFORE payment and entry, not enforced aggressively after families have already spent time and money. Sadly, we left disappointed, embarrassed, and feeling disrespected. I would strongly advise parents to think twice before visiting, especially if you expect basic courtesy and understanding when it comes to young children.
