It's A Small World Inc., Thousand Oaks

Kids go crazy for toys they don't have at home. So when they walk into It's a Small World Inc., they might not know what to focus on first. Do they submerge themselves in the ball pit? Should they leap around the bouncy castle or scramble up the rope ladders on the climbing wall? Whatever they choose, they're sure to engage in play that promotes active movement, enrichment, or socialization. A play kitchen and miniature cars, for example, allow kids to pretend at being adults in a much more realistic way than the pretend day planners they have at home. The center also hosts classes for babies and young children, as well as parties that are decked out with food and activities. Older kids, meanwhile, can pass the time in the video-game area.
