Kangaroo Zoo
THE WALLS ARE ALIVE WITH MYSTERY AND MAGIC.
40 glowing flowers in a rainbow of colors grow magically on the wall, 12′ into the air, with blues and greens, pinks and purples, reds, yellows and oranges, and every color ever imagined. Luminous clear bubbles fill the sky while fog floats just above the ground. Shimmering above this magical garden hang 35 chandeliers lit by thousands of tiny white lights casting a glow of enchantment over every kid lucky enough to enter flora.
The new Kangaroo Zoo play and party center will cater to children 12 and under, giving them a healthy alternative to couch potato activities, the owner says.
"Most entertainment venues are geared toward teenagers," Chad George said. "I wanted to create a venue for the kids 12 and under where they can have a great time and be safe while being rambunctious and letting go of all their energy."
Ogden's Kangaroo Zoo, at 184 20th St., is the third center in the state. Housed in an existing building George renovated, the center, which held its grand opening Friday, includes 12 inflatable toys featuring bounce houses, obstacle courses and slides that provide nonstop opportunities for children to get adequate exercise while having fun.
"There are no arcade games here at all," George said. "It's all about getting activity and exercise and shaking loose from other distractions like video games and television." The walls of the building are painted white with animal print accents along the way. In addition, three themed party rooms are available. "We hired painters to do murals in all of the rooms. We wanted each party room to be unforgettable," George said.
The princess/floral room has a fairy tale castle mural with a big chair for the birthday guest. The room is equipped with pink and green tables and chairs. Other party rooms include a balloon room and the Cosmos room. All of the rooms have different colors and electrical lights for a magical effect. Bubble machines go off when "Happy Birthday" is sung to the guest of honor.
