SmartieGym is what my 5 year old daughter asks for on a daily basis! This place is incredible. You can spend hours there and you wouldn't even know it. The Gym is clean and organized. My daughter's favourites are the climbing structure with the slide, the ball pit and the roller coaster car ramp. Highly recommended!
