Our visit to the Jungle

On Saturday we picked up Sticker Grandma and Barbara so we could take the girls to the Jungle in San Jose. Along the way we also picked up Barbara's grand kids Johnny and Sammy to join us. This would be our first time at the new Jungle but Johnny and Sammy were old pros. They actually lived within a mile of the place so they go rather frequently.

Once we arrived there were many different payment options. For the Saturday rate you could pay $8.95 for admission only or $14.95 for admission plus one or more of their bonus activities. You could choose to pay for tokens and bumper car rides or a build a bear animal. I decided to splurge and let the girls do the build a bear animal, after all it was only $6 more and the boys were getting the activity pack with the tokens and bumper cars.

In the beginning it was quite easy to confine them to the climbing structures and the ball pit. The girls loved this area. However, Sticker Grandma and the boys were looking forward to some games so they headed over to the arcade portion. Aly did join Sticker Grandma for a bit to try and win tickets to get prizes. I will say though the tickets barely get you anything worth more than 5 cents! What a rip!

Aly chose a ladybug and KK chose a lion. Both were very happy with their choices and were ready to go shortly after getting their animals. Johnny and Sammy had a good time as well.

What a fun place! That sounds and looks like so much fun! I definitely say great choice! Only $6 more and they got to do a build a bear! What a deal!!! I wish we had something like that hear....there was some type of place in idaho...nowhere near that but it would be fun to try out with the kids...maybe when Tanner is a little bit older so he can join in on the fun too!
