Aurora PL ...
In recent times, McDonald's has been undergoing something of a renaissance into trying to become some odd upscale Starbucks-a-like, and in doing so, as a parent, I've been disappointed to see a number of nice playlands disappear. McDonald's seems to have forgotten that they have the playland market cornered... so anyways, I've decided to review some and share some hints for other parents.
This location has, quite simply, a nice playland, a nice layout, and appeared to be well-kept. Â It's in Aurora, IL, and we've only been here once (usually we try to go places a few times before I'll post a review), but the overall air of the place suggested that management was taking good care of it.
We noticed a bunch of kids running around without socks, despite the posted rules, but the equipment was generally clean and the restrooms were well-maintained. Â The restroom in the play area offers a changing table and a seat to strap down a kid while you take care of another. Â There is a large tube maze for the older kids, plus a platform and small slide for the younger ones. Â Seating areas to the sides are partially separated, but eating in the dining room is probably a better idea, as it can still get a little noisy.
Giving it 4 out of 5 "for a McDonald's".
