I know what you are talking about with the gymboree they are expensive. I try to take my kids to the mall playlands- they are just as much fun or if you are looking for something just for them to play with I found a 6 in 1 playland thing that is 30.00 at Costco and my kids love it!! Its just like taking her to Gymboree but at home. I also like way to play cafe- that is a great play. Try going to a website called www.azactivekids.com and they always have great stuff you can do for cheap or even free things to do.
