"Love It!"
This is a great place for kids. They have the oldest Day Camp in America an one of the first Children's Montessori programs as well. Children's School is available from 9 - 3 if you are 3 and potty trained. Boys and Girls club is for the older kids. They'll play games learn to sail etc. Your kids can view many performance in the Amphitheater and because of the open air style it is easy to stay for just part of the show. Where else can a 3 year old see just a bit of the symphony, opera or ballet?
