Xystus Kidsland

We kept hearing about all these wonderful indoor play-places, but had yet to go to one.  Sadly, we went to this one as a friend's PCS-ing playdate.  BUT it was awesome and O had so much fun!

We were coming from Foster, so we took 330N and hung a left on 85 to get there.  Once on 85 you take a right at the first light and it's in the big shopping building on your left. 

Xystus Kidsland is inside on the second floor.  Apparently the little sushi place up there is fantastic as well, so we'll have to try it the next time we go up there.

We were a little confused about how the place worked when we first got there, but the attendants were very friendly and super helpful.  They showed us where the vending machine was to purchase your tickets and what options we would need.  You purchase tickets per person by age group.  Weekday prices for 3 hours are: babies (up to 18 mos) are 200 yen, 18 mos - 12 years = 750 yen, 13-19 years = 400 yen, and guardians are 200 yen.  Weekend prices are 100-200 more yen for children 18mos - 12 years.

We got our tickets and went in. On the left they have a storage area for your shoes and lockers you can lock your stuff up in.  There is also enough room to leave your strollers if you like.

The play area itself is huge!  They have three separate jungle gyms side by side and on each end of the room they have a play area for babies and new walkers.  The jungle gyms have ball pits, climbing ropes, tunnels, bridges, slides, trampolines, etc.  So many options to keep the kids moving and entertained.  The baby area has a doll-house, small swings, rocking horses, music instruments, balls, etc.  O really liked utilizing both areas depending on where there were kids and how tired she was feeling.

There are also lots of tables and chairs for adults to sit and watch and socialize with each other.  Or for the family to eat snacks and other foods they can purchase at the small cafe inside.  Adults are welcome to accompany their kids inside the play-place as well though.

When we left, the attendants handed us a stamp card with our stamps from this visit.  You earn stamps by spending so much yen on tickets.  Once you get so many stamps, the guardian gets in free.

They also gave O a toy gift.  I don't know if that's usual practice or if it was just for the holiday.  But she loved it.

O liked the kidsland so much, we'll definitely be coming back here again.
