there's a two-hour cap). It's a built in<br />

babysitter. You can pick up those groceries<br />

downstairs for dinner, get a cup of coffee<br />

(I'm obsessed) one level down at Mr. Brown<br />

or bring a good book while your kid tears<br />

through the balloons. Fun for all! Potential<br />

I'll set the scene. It's 3 pm. Your sweet child just came home<br />

from school. He/she has an insurmountable amount of energy<br />

that even the strongest cup of coffee will not be able to tackle....<br />

Well my friend, I have found Yu Island to be a saving grace on<br />

more than one occasion. Yes, it costs NT$200, but can one put<br />

a price on sanity? Located on the sixth floor, that two-hundred<br />

dollars pays for UNLIMITED hours (unless it's a holiday, when<br />

Wyatt attended a birthday party a<br />

couple of months ago and was invited<br />

to Leos. I have since brought him<br />

there again and though pricey, it's<br />

really pretty awesome. It's very close<br />

to Taipei 101 and about an hour by<br />

bus from Tianmu. If you have a car<br />

you're in luck - they have parking very<br />

close, although it can be very easy to<br />

miss if you're not looking for it. Leos<br />

is an indoor play area straight from<br />

your kid's dream, or in our case, my<br />

husband's as well. Oh shoot, mine too.<br />

There are slides, enclosed trampolines,<br />

and soft nerf balls sailing at random.<br />

For Wyatt and I to get in it was a<br />

whopping NT$800, but that included<br />

a NT$200 food credit voucher as well.<br />

Yes, they have food there! Score!! If<br />

parents don't want to play, no problem,<br />

with their setup you can watch your kid<br />

while simultaneously reading or eating.<br />

The sign that Leos is worth the money?<br />
