Here in Arizona, there aren’t too many grassy knolls where you and the family can lay down a blanket and break out the sandwiches. While this may save your nice family outing from being overrun by ants, your outside adventures may soon turn dull.
Playtopia, located in Chandler’s Tumbleweed Park, is the answer you’ve been looking for. With 2.5 acres of land, there is something for every child. If your little ones love the city feel, they can ride their bikes and scooters through the ‘city’ section of Playtopia, complete with paved roads and mini street signs; If they like things a little more relaxed, they can play on swings and slides focused on a farm theme.
If you have a future vet or zoologist in your midst, make sure not to miss Critter Land. This area features a large gila monster your children can climb on, walk-through tortoise shells and dinosaur bones in the dirt!
Restrooms are located on site, as well as 14 covered ramadas that serve as the perfect spot for your family picnic. Larger ramadas can accomodate big groups. so this may be just the place to throw your child’s birthday party extravaganza.
So the next time the weather is cool and breezy, grab your child’s homemade kite and head over to Playtopia. With a little something for everyone, it’s a blessing in disguise that you don’t have to pay admission!
