A few weeks ago I had a chance to visit this great indoor playground located in the heart of Center City Philly along with some other bloggers. We were going to take the train into the city but we opted to drive into the city. My mother was in town so I had an extra hand to help with the baby.
I usually like to get Julianne out during the morning so that she can have a good nap by the afternoon. He was our chance for her to have a great day. We parked right next to the playground where we received a voucher afterwards.
Nest is an amazing oasis sprawling over 12,000 square feet of space over three levels! I could not believe that all that was in 3 floors. We arrived to a beautiful lobby with a nice entrance and gift shop and even a place to park strollers.
We were taken to an area where the kids were given crayons and markers and coloring pages to entertain themselves while we were given a description of all activities within the premises. I was super amazed at all the classes available for various ages. Here is some of the schedule:

We were able to join a music class which was really packed since we were a huge group. My Julianne LOVED the class and danced all over, enjoying every song and all the various activities and instruments presented. I was super impressed how the class was organized and the variety of songs presented.
This is one of the things that Nest boasts is providing a one-of-a-kind programming for creative stimulation, ages newborn to 6 years. What a plus!
Look at Julianne! I could hardly catch a good photo she was running all over the place. I had to make sure she did not run over the babies in the class since it was an all-ages class for this specific morning. đ
Our 5-month-old was in the music class and she was quite enthralled by all the activity.
In addition to these classes there is an amazing indoor playground ideal for the recent hot weather. There is also an kid salon and a local cafe that serves kid-friendly eats. What’s not to like?
