Indoor Playscape
The indoor playscape at the J is a fun year-round place to beat the heat, escape the rain and make new friends. Climbing through a tunnel, racing down the slide or driving the firetruck, your child’s imagination will run wild with curiosity inspired in the J’s indoor playscape! There is also a dedicated infant play area where little ones can safely practice crawling and climbing.
