Playtime at Fundomondo
9:00 - 17:00
$5 9 and under Map It
Enjoy some fun playtime at Fundomondo. There is a great area for children under 3 and a fun climbing structure, ideal for children under 9.
 
We like Fundomondo as it is great for the little ones and it is in a great mall (with a very nice shoe store nearby!). However, if this is too far with you, we can definitely suggest one that is closer, great for the little ones at home and ones that can be reasonably priced.
