First Colony Mall - Play Area

We finally made it out to First Colony Mall in Sugar Land today so the girls could play at the play area. I was very disappointed in what we found. I know we were very spoiled in Plano at the Willow Bend Mall but I'm just really bummed out that I haven't been able to find anything even close as of yet. If you have young children who are crawling and beginning to walk, this is perfect for them because all of the play structures are low to the ground and easy to climb. If however you have a toddler or older, your kids will probably like the play area for about 5-10 minutes and then get bored pretty quickly. There aren't any bathrooms close by, except the one in JCPenneys, but I wasn't willing to squeeze my double stroller into their tiny elevator to get there.

I will give the mall some kudos on the bathrooms even though they are too far away from the play area. There are 2 bathrooms for men and women and 2 additional family bathrooms complete with a fold down changing table and miniature toilet for toddlers. Again, we were really spoiled in Plano having a huge open family bathroom with a countertop changing table with padded mat and separate sink and plenty of room for strollers and this was in addition to the actual bathrooms (2) with an adult and child sized toilets with their own sinks.

On a scale of 1-5 I'll give the mall itself a 3, the family bathroom a 3.5 and the play area a 2. I'm not sure we'll go back unless the destination is the mall itself and the girls need to blow off a few minutes worth of steam. But to drive this far specifically for an indoor play area, it's not worth the trip.
