Little Diggers

Venue has easy parking. Staff was friendly and venue was clean. Pretty easy process and lots of clean sand and toys. Thank you.

I'm so upset with the treatment my kids received today from this place. I took my 16, 8, 6, and 4 year old on a trip to Little Diggers. We drove a little over 30 minutes and were meeting up with a friend and her son so our boys could have a play date. When we got there, she asked for the kids' ages. I knew it was 7 and under, but I was honest and said "she's 8 but she just turned 8 five days ago (I would have shown proof if needed). The lady absolutely would NOT let her into the sandbox with the others. Had we not had friends that also drove 45 minutes to meet us there, we would have just left to go elsewhere. But leaving would have broken my son's heart, as the 6 and 8 year olds are girls and he finally had another boy to hang out with. So we stayed 30 minutes, while my 8 year old sat and watched. She even said "we should have just lied", which was hard to disagree with but explained to her that most kind and considerate people would have accepted the honesty and still allowed her into the sandbox pit for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, we just ended up at a place where the person running it was unkind and very inconsiderate. She didn't apologize, didn't seem like she cared at all about how the 8 year old felt. Alas, we'll never be back. I run a local moms group and plan lots of play dates as well as make many recommendations. I'll definitely make sure to never recommend this business, as well as share my experience with others. I understand it's "policy" and I'm sure there are reasons for the 7 and under rule, but this could have been an exception for a 7 years plus 5 days kid that had siblings playing there as well. If "policy" is more important to you than a child's feelings, maybe you shouldn't work at a place for children.
