play area features some intriguing props from the Honey, I Shrunk the

bumps while the children can attack a variety of physical challenges
amidst 30 foot tall blades of "grass":
Large, chattering ants that you can ride on
Convoluted anthills and mazes to explore and hide in
A spider web/maze with climbing ropes
A slide made from a canister of Kodak film
A giant sniffing dog nose that sprays mist
A motion-sensitive hose that drips cool water on unsuspecting guests

The Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure offers alot of shrunken
excitment, and is especially popular with young children. Based on the
backyard adventure of the 1989 film, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, this
area has 30 foot high blades of grass and a soft, almost carpet-like
ground. Throughout tha area are many fun objects good for climbing and
sliding such as huge spider-web nets, an enormous old tree stump, a
discarded film canister, Lego blocks, and even a monstrous ant! There
is also a garden hose that continuously spurts water and a huge dog's
nose that sniffs anybody that walks by. So, for the young and the young
at heart, this is a great place to blow off steam.
Shrink to the size of an ant, and explore a virtual backyard, complete
with insects, a leaky hose, and giant toys. This large area contains
hills, slides, tunnels, and other fun structures to run, climb, and
play on. At the back of the play area is a large net-climb, where you
can get an excellent view when you're at the top of the net.
