Entertainment & Activities
The location is the Suburban Sports Training Center, but the real attraction is called Chatter Splatter.
This place is the best thing ever for the 4 & under crowd. It's an indoor (read: climate controlled) soccer field full of toddler toys. Everything from balls and blocks to cozy coupes, slides, swings, tunnels, and bounce houses. $6/child, $4/sibling, $1/adult, includes snacks for the kids and coffee for the adults. Best value out there.
Open Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday, 9:30-11:30
