Safety in Landis: everything worth knowing
Everything below is the sort of thing you would want to know before the drive rather than after it.
The centre states that the safety of its young guests is its first priority and that the environment is controlled and supervised. Follow whatever the staff ask on the day - they can see the room.
The drive back to Landis is where you find out what they actually thought. Children review an outing about twenty minutes after leaving it, never during.
What it actually is
Parents keep the last word. Nobody knows what a particular child will try next better than the adult standing next to them.
On the ice, the rules that matter are the ordinary ones: stay off the ice with the cars, keep away from other skaters, and warm hands make better decisions than cold ones.
Who it suits
Safety at a children attraction is mostly about the boring things being right: slow machines, a supervised room and staff who say something before a child does anything unsafe.
If two children are visiting together, plan for them to split up. Doing different things in the same room is the point of a room with different things in it.

Before you go
On the ice, the rules that matter are the ordinary ones: stay off the ice with the cars, keep away from other skaters, and warm hands make better decisions than cold ones.
Go early if the choice is available. The first hour after opening is quieter than any hour that follows it, and quieter is easier for everybody.
Questions parents ask
Is it supervised?
The centre describes a safe, controlled and supervised environment. Staff instructions on the day come first.
Are the machines fast?
They move slowly and only when a child moves the control.

Planning your visit in Landis
Weekends bring more of Landis out at once. If the schedule allows a weekday, take it; the same visit is quieter and the machines wait for nobody in particular.
If one child is nervous, let them watch for the first ten minutes without being asked to join in. Almost all of them join in.
Let the child choose what to do first even when it is the thing you would have chosen last. The order matters less than the choosing.
Families searching from Landis are usually weighing one thing: whether it is worth the trip for an hour of something the children have not done before. The honest answer is that it depends on the child, and the rest of this page is about telling which.
