Who remembers Discovery Zone? That place kicked so much ass, I swear, if you never went to Discovery Zone when you were a kid then you should just fucking kill yourself right now because you've already missed out on the most excitement and fun you'll ever have in your whole lifetime. Discovery Zone totally owned the shit out of Chucky Cheeses and McDonalds Play-Places and all that other bullshit. If I ever get rich I'm gonna hire someone to build an adult sized Discovery Zone.
I know it's not exactly a toy per-say, but I feel it fits the atmosphere of this board.

I put out my hands against the sides to stop myself and crept back up that slide as hard as my little hands could. I never told anyone about it the rest of the day, and wondered what happened to the kid that would eventually slide right into that shit. I hope they went down head first. |

Anonymous 03/04/08(Tue)12:04 No.53301When I was a little kid, before there were any DZ's in my area, we had a place called the Children's Museum, and it had a tube maze called the Great Escape that kicked a lot of ass. It wasn't as big as a DZ, but the tubes were made out of solid materials instead of translucent colored plastic so the inside was dark, and it was lit with colored lights and shit. There was also a section where all the walls were mirrors, which kicked ass. The first time I ever went, some asshole told me there was a T-Rex living inside the maze and I got scared and wouldn't go inside, but the next time I went there my mom assured me that it was safe. I used to go there every month or so for a few years, but then the place closed. I cried. |

Anonymous 03/07/08(Fri)12:06 No.58590I went to Chuck E. Cheeses maybe...3 times in my youth...and Fun Zone once. But I never went to Discovery Zone, and this being Long Island, I'm sure there was at least one. |

Anonymous 03/08/08(Sat)04:58 No.59777DZ was amazing... I only went once... does anyone remember the time scale/price for admission? I remember I could never go because it was so expensive. I think it was $7 for 30 minutes or something to that effect... could someone clarify if they did charge by time you spend there? I miss it so much!! |

Anonymous 03/08/08(Sat)07:28 No.59832We had a couple of DZs in San Antonio, there was also this place called Pear Apple County Fair. I went there once, it was dark as shit and it gave off this real creepy vibe the whole time. |

Anonymous 03/08/08(Sat)17:46 No.60303we've got something here a lot like DZ (here is chicago, west burbs) called fun zone or something. they have something that isnt quite as big but still huge, and they let adults in there, mostly so kids can be supervised and dont get raped in the tubes. i went there last year and got my fat ass stuck and wound up breaking a whole section trying to get loose. |
