Inflatable Kingdom is a great location for kids to play. The staff are helpful and friendly and the kids LOVE IT! but make sure you bring lots of water, there is no free water for children and we were told that for health reasons the only free water available was from the toilets ... which, to me... seemed to be the pinnacle of irony.. needless to say i bought a bottle of water
5 stars because that was so hilarious.
