Granted, I seriously doubt that the couple of local indoor playlands I have taken my daughter has been THIS bad, but can you honestly feel ok letting your child go into these places when you haven't crawled through the tunnels up above yourself?
Any time we have gone to indoor playlands, I have made sure that she changes her clothes the second she gets back home, and even takes a shower/bath. Now I am wondering if I am better off having an extra pair of clothes in the car for her to change into before she climbs in and gets strapped into her car seat! These places require that kids wear socks (which nearly no parents enforce), so shouldn't you be concerned when the bottom of their socks look back after an hour of playing? The very last time we went to a playland, my daughter complained about there being flies in the tunnels up above. That was my last straw.
I realize my daughter loves playing with other kids at these playlands and she needs the social interaction, but at what price should we pay for their health verses their social needs?
