## About

Purpose-built specifically for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary children up to age 7, Discovery Place Kids in Huntersville is a vibrant miniature town where imagination takes center stage. Kids can climb into the driver's seat of a real fire engine, prepare pretend meals in a bustling diner, shop for farm-fresh groceries, nurse stuffed animals in a veterinarian clinic, and splash in tactile water tables.

The centerpiece indoor climbing treehouse encourages gross-motor exploration in a safe, carpeted environment, while the 'Ocean Blue' soft crawl zone provides a safe, quiet haven for non-walking infants. Daily interactive storytimes, science puppet shows, and movement sessions are included with admission.
