On the last day of our Disneyland Adventure, we had a few hours before our flight so we took the opportunity to see Cousin G. After lunch, she suggested we check out
Pretend City for MissE. Okay, I know this is for children but Mr.H, Cousin G, and I thought this place was so cool! I wish there was a place like this in Sydney!
What it is
What their website says:
Through 17 interactive exhibits and activities guided by a highly trained professional staff, children learn foundational math, reading and science skills, while fostering curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, organization, teamwork, self-confidence and socialization.

In my terms, it is literally a pretend city. There is a grocery store, post office, library, fire department, police department, dentist, doctor, gas station, eco-friendly home, farm, marina, beach, theatre, restaurant, etc. Children 'worked' in the grocery store, post office, restaurant to earn stamps for their time cards. They could then use their time cards in various ATMs to get cash to buy groceries, etc.

We spent 3.5 hours here, missed 3 exhibits and had trouble getting MissE to leave! It's definitely a place to visit again... on our next Disneyland Adventure?
