It occupies a renovated space, totaling more than 5,000 square feet, which was previously home to a fitness facility, Optimum Performance Center.
Gao has many years of experience in early childhood education and is excited to create a facility where kids can let loose and have fun while also developing important skills and learning about the world around them.
“I was a teacher in China and love to help kids learn and have fun,” Gao said. “That was the reason behind opening this.”
Go Go Wonderland features more than 14 play zones, including ball pits, mini golf, slides and soft play areas, a disco light dancing floor and mini farm, among other attractions.
A mini supermarket is coming soon.
