Nook is just as expensive as Badlands and I am wondering if it is worth it. We have not been but we are interested to at least check it out.

We have been big fans of Nook since it opened in Arlington and the new location at Ballston is great however its definitely for a younger crowd, I would say under 3s.

I think it's incredibly overpriced for what it is. For two kids, I can't justify the price (and we have a mid six figure combined income, so I assume we are their target market). I'd rather go to one of the jumping places-- that's at least more novel than the same train table or play kitchen we have at home, or at a friend's house on a play date.

I agree. The price and capacity increase will be their downfall.

And that there's NOTHING for older kids to do. I'd love to bring my 3 year old and 6 year old but my 6 year old would be bored out of her mind. She can at least play - even if she's not the target age - at other kids play spaces.

Just curious what is a “mid six figure combined income”. Does that mean 150k or 500k?

Your older kid could color or do a craft actually. But I agree, it's more for babies/young toddlers.

I'm not that poster, but that sounds like she means 500K

We went once and had to wait 90 minutes because we didn't have a reservation. When we finally got in, it was a let down for the cost. We have not been back.

It's like a kid's play space you'd find in a Stanley Kubrick movie. It's fine, but overpriced.

You know, I can picture Tom and Nicole walking by a Nook playspace in Eyes Wide Shut and having it blend in with the story.
