Wannado City, where kids do what they Wannado

This weekend we had some friends down from Long Island.  They have two boys the same age as our sons and Sunday we took them to Wannado City.  If you have never heard of Wannado City, it is pretty cool.  It is an indoor role playing theme park for kids.  It is set up as a city and the kids do run the place.  They can be fireman, policemen, doctors, dentists, fashion models, etc.  Many of the occupations and the work areas are sponsored by companies.  For instance Spirit airlines sponsors the flight  simulator, Coca Cola the soda factory, the Miami Herald the newspaper shop.  Best of all, Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey sponsors the circus.  Kids earn money doing jobs and can spend it in the stores and at the rides.  If you have small children and are ever down in the Ft. Lauderdale area, it is a great way to spend a day.  Educational and fun, not crazy expensive (only about 20.00 dollars a child, adults free).

The highlight of the day was my 5 year old son Bradley being the star in the circus show at the end of the day.  We had to drop the kids off and for a half hour they rehearsed the acts, then the parents came in for the show.  Bradley has inherited a lot of the performing genes from Bonnie's family and loves getting up in front of people.  He had everyone laughing!
