Program Description
The Kids’ Castle is the babysitting facility in The Natatorium located just east of the interactive tree area. Your child's safety comes first! Our Kids' Castle staff cares for your child's safety - security cameras, sanitized toys and a parent/guardian sign in and out process is in place. Please, no crawling children. For your child's safety, we ask that you utilize the Kids' Castle once the child is walking. Babysitting is limited to a maximum stay of two hours per child. Our trained and professional staff care for children ages 1-9. Diaper changes are not provided; parents will be paged/called. Please click here to see our Kids' Castle brochure.
