What is Kids at Carlisle?

INDOOR FUN

Craft activities and indoor play. Paint, crayons, glitter, cars, trucks, blocks plus lots of other stuff kids love. Who wouldn’t want to draw on their very own REAL CAR!? Design a masterpiece, engage in special craft activities or simply relax and watch a few cartoons! A quieter, shaded pit-stop for young ones to re-charge their batteries with some fun just for them.

OUTDOOR FUN

Come run, jump, swing and climb on our outdoor swing set or our super-sized Cars Bounce House. For young ones whose engines are in high-gear, this is a great place to burn off some energy.

SPECIAL ATRACTIONS

Max and Mandy are ready to spend some time with the young enthusiasts. They will be visiting with balloons and face-painting throughout the events. See the event directory for appearances and special activities available with Max and Mandy.

EDDY RAY MAGIC

Illusionist Eddy Ray has been astounding people from the U.S.A. to the far reaches of Japan with his incredible and artistic sleight of hand, hilarious interactive audience segments and his fresh approach to performing magic and illusion. Kids at Carlisle welcomes Eddy’s first year with us and know that he will be a huge success with our young crew and adults alike. Check your directory for times and appearances!
