From their website: “We look forward to providing a safe family environment in Bergen and hope to use this gym to adjust the approach to therapy from school-centric, hourly therapy to family-oriented, full-time, recreation-based fun. We hope to develop a small community where all children’s birthday parties will be well attended and parents have a safe place to bring children of any skill level to play.”

“These all-inclusive sensory gyms are amazing, if you’ve never been to one, especially larger gyms as this one. It’s also a playspace. They offer a sensory/calming room with books 📚, a huge lava lamp, and some other accessories to calm a child.
The zip line seems to be a favorite, along with the big trampoline. The rockwalls 🧗🏼♂️ have buzzers at the top, so when the kids reach it, they can feel accomplished. There are 5 different mini workout equipment pieces like weight lifting 🏋🏿♂️ and a stationary bike 🚴. There are a few other climbing stations.
If the kids aren’t into physical fun, they can hop in the mail truck ✉️ and drive around to the post office or the grocery store 🍎. Make a stop at the train table 🚂, visit the art area 🖍️. Even the little one’s can get in on the action in the infant/toddler section, with toys just for them and learning materials just for them.
The kids have an array of swings to to swing on and inside of including, a cylinder, a tube, hammocks, a boat 🛶, a hot air balloon and many more. At least that’s what some of them reminded us of bc we have amazing imaginations.”
