Prepare yourselves for an adventure through past, present, and future. Reunite with special friends and wild characters from every time and place. Travel into the unknown to explore the distant future, or journey back to the prehistoric era to find out where the wild things really came from.

3- Lolie’s downstairs – Prehistoric Jungle
(Devant Whitefield)
Traveling downstairs will transport you to the farthest point of the past. The “Ugg’s Club” will be a hybrid between Flintstones and jurassic aesthetics. Vines, shrubs, fog and fallen asteroids will turn this room into a prehistoric paradise.

(Sara Tonin, Melissa Klima)
Crawl into the daycare! Today we’re learning to color inside the lines and watch cartoons! Make sure to wake up from nap time before midnight!
