Good old Classic Fun

We just returned home from 2 1/2 hours of fun at Classic Fun Center in Sandy.  My kids have soooo much fun whenever we go there.  We went today because Tessa has been begging to go and use her scooter ever since she got it on Easter.  Walking in and seeing that big skating rink always brings back such memories from my younger days.  Spencer and Tessa took off riding their scooters and having a blast.  Then we moved into the other room and rode around the track one time, with Clara in her stroller.


  Then we parked the scooters and stroller and headed for the bounce area.  I think that's my kids' favorite part.  They bounced and bounced and bounced all over as well as climbing and sliding.  They were all smiles and sweat!  Clara didn't like being held so I let her crawl around the dirty floor a little bit.  This first picture is the toddler bounce area (kids 4 and under).  No other little kids were in there so I let Spencer go in and play with Tessa.  They love trying to make a basket.  Tessa also loves the different slides, the Double Trouble is her favorite as it's the easiest for her little legs to climb up.  Spencer really loves the one on the end that is an obstacle course climbing, squeezing, and moving around things to get to the slides at the end.  You can even push a button that will time you, or you can push both buttons and have a race.

Then we moved on to the Jungle.  Lots of climbing with nets all around.  Some of the platforms are bouncy and there are things to sit and bounce or swing on, and a bridge that goes over the skating track to more fun things like the crocodile pit (ball pit) and a zipline.  They climbed and played and had a blast.  Spencer was so sweet and helped Tessa a lot as she is too short to climb up to some platforms or get on the sitting swing thing by herself.  He also held her hand to cross the bridge since she was scared.  It made me so happy to see him being so sweet to her!

After this we took a little rest and drank some water.  Then the kids headed into the Blast Zone while Clara and I watched from the skating track.  The loud noise of the compressors scared Tessa a bit, but not as much as the older kids who were screaming scared her.  Spencer went down the steep, slick red slide once and that was enough. Tessa didn't dare do that and just loved playing in the balls.  The Blast Zone pass gives you half an hour but 15 minutes ended up being enough for my kids.


Then we used our tokens we got with the Mom's Club (10 tokens each) on the arcade games, most of which only take 2 tokens and they are 10 cents a token.  Tessa loved using them to ride the little rides (jeep, helicopter, roller coaster, ice cream truck) and Spencer used all of his trying to win a toy for Clara but the claw kept dropping them before getting to the chute.  I ended up buying an extra $2 of tokens for them to play games that would give them tickets so they could get some cheap choking hazards and candy.

It was a very fun day and the kids have been playing together so well since we got home too.  Well worth the $7.50 admission price (during Mom's Club which is 10 am-3 pm M-F except school breaks and holidays).  Even though I feel it's worth the $7.50 that is still $15 for the two kids and I like to keep Friday Fun Days no more than $10.  I don't know what I'll do when I have to start paying for Clara!  That will be in a couple months at Classic.  At least they are great at letting spectator parents in free!  Anyway, I always check their website for coupons before going at http://www.classicfuncenter.com/sandy/scoupons.html  They change their coupons monthly and this month was a free blast zone with the Mom's Club purchase.  My kids don't use it enough (15 minutes) to make it worth purchasing, but for free it was worth adding on.  My favorite coupon is when they have "Pay your age" for Mom's Club.  Spencer is $6 and Tessa is $3 and Clara is 0.  Also in the summer they have a summer pass for $10 a person and then each time you go each activity (including waterpark) is only $1.
