They charge $7.50 per child for 1.5 hours. My daughter and I went there with a buddy and his son. It was great. We got to sit and enjoy coffee and a croissant/bagel, and the kids (26 and 20 months) ran around and had a blast. We occasionally had to get up and make sure no one was hurting anyone else, etc, but it was relatively relaxing. On rainy days it is packed, and I bet it'll get even more crowded during winter.
I thought that all of this would be a great idea for an actual restaurant, but the buddy was concerned about having booze in the area (which I didn't think was a good point since Chucky Cheese has been doing it for years).
Thoughts?
I should probably post this on the Parents board.

We have something similar here, but all I can ever think when I am there (all 2 times I've been there) is that the whole place is a giant petri dish.
Ick.
