Tumble Time Bus

A gym on a bus!



$5 Friday’s at the Streets of Brentwood
Every Friday in June, July, and Aug.
10:00am-12:00pm (30 minutes of free play)

Imagine, if you can, a room filled with fun equipment to bounce, play, crawl and climb on. Imagine padded flooring, certified instructors and assistants. Imagine interactive musical activities. Now imagine it all inside a giant school bus, The Tumble Time Bus!

It’s first come first served, but ALL kids will get on even if we have to stay late. There will be a table with four different sign-up sheets: 10:00am/10:30am/11:00am/11:30am

Sign up your child for the time you want. Relax by the beautiful fountain, grab a coffee or a yogurt while you wait. OR try to get a little shopping in, just be sure to be back at your allotted time so your child can play!
