Kids Place Adventure Playground, Lexington

A 360-turn around Kid's Place Adventure Playground reveals obstacles and structures for kids to climb over, dive into, and jump on. They can careen down slides and into a plastic ball abyss before testing their agility at the rock climbing wall or writing "Dear John" letters to gravity in the bounce house. The arcade entertains with skeeball and air hockey, and even toddlers get in on the action in their own private area. Parents, in turn, barely have to lift a finger except to point at the snack bar menu when refueling their brood.
