OK so ever since I wanna say last summer and Logan saw his first American Ninja Warrior its been a know fact in this house that when the season of that show comes on our house becomes a mini warrior training zone for him…he literally jumps and kicks and tries to flip all over the house. So when I started looking up fun places to visit I noticed that Little Beans Evanston has a big kid gym that looks just like the warrior arena at their facility and so what better time to check this place out than when its still a bit chilly out.
Last Wednesday we decided to take a trip out to play. First of all I was totally shocked by how big this location is! No joke its huge! They have everything from a cafe (with great intelligencia coffee and awesome options for lunch) to a little play city which is great for kids id say from crawlers to toddlers and then they have their big beans gym (this was Logan's favorite part), they also have a craft room and mini library and karaoke room!
Their Big Beans Gym has the mini warrior arena and an actual basketball court for the kids to play different sports on, hockey, soccer, basketball, dodgeball…you name it. The Big Beans section also has ping pong, air hockey, and one of those cool projector game things to play with. But the main attraction is the arena. The kids are first drawn to the awesome foam pit with includes a zipline from one end to the other (which fyi parents can ride too just as Moe). the kids jump in and just have fun its like a pool of foam blocks, free to jump and play and build they could easily spend a good hour in that pit…they also have a rope bridge to climb across, a ton of stuff to jump off of, rings to swing from and even a wall to climb that leads to a fireman pole to slide down! Now if you wanna give the whole course a try they even have a start and finish buzzer!
Logan LOVED this place! So much that we actually went twice last week! I would say we spent a good 2.5hrs each trip and at $14 thats not so bad considering that $14 us a day pass and you can use it all day and by that I mean you can play in the morning run out and come back show them you receipt and come back in the afternoon if you'd like. After playing all morning Wednesday we decided on having lunch there and let me tell you they have great options on their menu! Logan picked mac & cheese and I got their Michigan salad, we both devoured our lunches! I loved that they have everything in one spot and kudos to them for keeping the facility so clean, considering how many kids run around all day it was really clean! Another thingI loved from the mom perspective is that there is only one way in and one way out of the whole place and the only way out is to actually check out so in terms of security they have their game on point.
So if your looking for some place fun to take your little ones to tire them out and have a blast take a trip over to Little Beans! This one was definitely Logan approved!!
