Does anyone know what this place was called? Can’t remember the name for the life of me

So I’m pretty sure this place isn’t around anymore but I can’t remember the name and it’s bothering me lol

So the place I’m thinking of was a place for kids. I’m pretty sure it was somewhere near or in the middlesex county area. Maybe near south river but I’m not positive, honestly.

Inside the place they had a little pretend news casting station and pretend kitchens. They also had this big drawing section where you’d get a big piece of paper and they’d push it so it moved in circles and let the market draw on it. There was also this one science section where you could stand on a pedestal and pull this rope with a big hula hoop attached and you’d enclose yourself in a bubble

Sorry that’s most of what I remember from it but I hope that helps and someone knows what I’m talking about! Thanks!

The wonder museum? If it’s the place I’m thinking of they also had a fire truck and a shadow room.

This is it - grew up in EB and had so many parties there. They had the bubble and hula hoop.

The garden state discovery center in cherry hill has everything you’re describing but I’m sure there’s other places.

Amazing place but unfortunately it closed just before the pandemic. Not sure why

Imagine That! There was one in Middletown and another location a little north.

We went to the Middletown location a lot in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. My kids loved that place. They had a real airplane and fire truck in the back, a pretend grocery store, a dance studio, the news station. I’ve lost count of how many birthday parties we attended and hosted there.
