The Epic is pleased to introduce KidsPlay, our new drop-in babysitting add-on feature. Here is a sneak peak of the almost completed area:
KidsPlay is designed to provide a fun, safe, interactive, and engaging space for your children while you workout or attend one of our many other member programs. Our qualified and trained professional childcare staff will watch over children ages 6 months to 10 years for a 2-hour maximum. For your convenience, KidsPlay will include a reliable, state-of-the-art mobile check-in system.
In addition to a custom indoor and outdoor playground, your kids will enjoy toys, gaming consoles, crafts, and more. Whenever KidsPlay is not in use, there will be an option for parents to accompany children. Occasionally, the room will also be available for scheduled rentals.
