Kids today can't walk to the neighborhood park, play outside, or ride their bikes with the same kind of carefree freedom that we had when we were young. Parents are worried about the harm that might befall their little ones and reluctantly keep their kids inside, sitting them in front of a TV, computer, or video game system. Wouldn't it be great if there was a space that provided a fun learning experience where kids could play and parents didn't have to worry? Meet Bamboola, a 28,000 square foot edutainment center in San Jose, California that provides a one of a kind experience for children age 0 to 9. The San Jose Mercury News credits Bamboola with doing for play centers what Disney did for amusement parks; making them comfortable and intelligent, a space where kids and parents can coexist peacefully. Bamboola offers includes everything from an interactive cooking area where children prepare food they actually eat, to an outdoor adventure play garden where kids can participate in a dinosaur dig. Thanks to Bamboola, overweight and unimaginative children can be a thing of the past, and no more fears about little Johnny growing up to be a sniper because his favorite video game character taught him how to shoot with 99 percent accuracy. While Bamboola's only location is in Southern California, parents everywhere appreciate the innovative activities at Bamboola, making it a vacation hotspot for families around the country.
