One of the best places I have gone with my toddler, is the Art Knapps Nursery in South Surrey. http://artknappsurrey.com/ I only heard of it through word of mouth, but I'm sure all parents in the 'burbs know all about it. It's a wonderful place full of lush plants, like a typical nursery, but what sets this place apart
from the rest is the entertainment for the kids. At this particular location, they offer an 18 hole mini-golf hidden amongst the greenery, an area with beautiful chickens and birds, a wooden playground, and the piece de resistance, a "Thomas the Tank" look a-like train ride though the park/nursery, complete with a tunnel to go through. My toddler LOVED it! After taking in all the outside attractions, inside the massive store there is a gigantic electrical train table complete with mountains and tunnels, that the kids can watch, and a Thomas the Tank, train table set up for the children to play with. You could easily spend hours at this locale, before your child is barely willing to leave. As with my son, I watch several parents having to carry their crying child out when it was time to go. And as the cashiers say, "There goes another satisfied customer." (This photo is me exactly 40 weeks pregnant!! I'm using my son to hide my belly.)
I should also mention, that they have thousands of beautiful home furnishings and decorations in the store as well, so if you thought the $2.50 was cheap for your child to have fun, think again, as I have yet to leave the store without spending at least $50.00 on a "must – have" for me. There is a little mini video of the train ride to get a better idea of what this place is all about.
