Closed permanently the door says do not waste your time to drive over to it. It would be nice if someone updated the map hours showing open
We LOVE little land. My son would go all day everyday if he could Our favorite time is to go in the mornings as thats when its the best managed by our favorite employee Victoria. She is attentive and warm and is the only employee I have ever seen consistently pick up after all of the kiddos and making sure the toys stay in the right areas that everyone is being safe and friendly. 1010 recommend this location best toys best employee most fun
I want my money back For what they charged me I had hoped to have a pleasant time and not fear for my grandkids safety. I took my 3 year old grandson and his 1 year old sister here yesterday. DONT BOTHER There was a large group of older children absolutely terrorizing the place and I think one of the kids belonged to the staff. There were a number of much older and aggressive kids in the 24months and under section and an extremely aggressive 3 year old that was insisting on trying to hit my granddaughter. The swings in the center of the area are a menace as the staff will not make anyone behave. The rowdy group of children that were leaping and screaming and acting inappropriately took over the quiet area that is supposed to require adult supervision and there clearly was none. They were being so out of control that I became concerned for the safety of my grandchildren and left. I do not know if this is a staffing issue if they need more staff or if they need better staff but I can assure you I would not recommend this place to anyone
Awesome place 1st off the way its step up i love it so then its a open area to be able to see my kids run around with losing eye contact and of course loved how it was cleaned. Im big on Covid still so this was a plus for me. I brought my kids there for a birthday weekend and the staff there was amazing even the staff members kid was playing with mine making the whole thing and making my kids experience a happy and memorable one. I really recommend for kids with very hyper tendency to go or even just a place to get out the house. I totally say this is the place
We had our first experience at this location this week and my son was having a wonderful time. This abruptly ended when two children notably the staff members children who were not being supervised were using a swing in an unsafe manner and my child was hit by the swing in the eye. The staff member did not say a word to us did not check on my child nothing. We left with a swollen eye and an upset child. Whats even more frustrating is the staff members children had just hit another child 5 minutes prior with the same swing. If staff members are going to be allowed to bring their children to work they need to better supervise them. And when children get injured its a good idea to check on them. Also probably not the best placement to put three swings blocking all paths to the playhouse.
I took my 2 year old son to this location recently and while it has a lot that he enjoyed our experience was thrown off by one incident. There were 2 children the front desk staffs children who were swinging on one of the wooden swings pretty aggressively. My son ran in their direction and before I could catch him was hit by the wooden swing and knocked over. He immediately started crying so I swooped him away to comfort him. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the front desk staff member rush her child away from the swings but she did not interact with me or my son. After my son recovered I took him to the playset in the corner and saw another child get hit by the same swing. The same children of the staff member were the cause of this second incident as well. This staff member did not apologize or check on either affected child and she was also clearly not watching her own children.In terms of the layout of this play space these swings do not belong in the middle of the room and are inherently dangerous. It is hard to avoid these swings as you walk from one area to the next. I urge the owner to remove the swings or relocate them at minimum. We will not be back as this is something that can and will happen many times in the future until they are removed.
This is definitely my least favorite LL location Ive been to. The staff member at the front was on a personal call on her cell phone the entire time she was checking us in and was clearly preoccupied with her own children and cell phone the entire time she was there. Never once she did get up to tidy the play area like the staff at other LL locations do. She just sat at the front desk on her phone and occasionally checked on her own kid. I read the other comments about the owner allowing staff to bring their kids which is nice in theory but leads to super distracted staff. If youre going to have staff who are watching their own kids on the clock then you need 2 staff working together so at least one is doing something productive for the paying customers. This is the only location Ive been to that only has one staff working at a time and its clearly not working per the other reviews. Another staff member arrived to relieve the first staff member about halfway through our time there and immediately started cleaning which the first staff member hadnt bothered to do even once. This place is also FILTHY. I dont have particularly high standards for cleanliness especially knowing how dirty kids can be but the floor in this place gave me the heebie jeebies. If I had a crawling baby I would have left upon seeing the state of the floor. Its not just wear and tear like the owner says in other responses its legitimately unclean. The toys floor and equipment are all dingy dirty and falling apart. The floors are rubber but not padded like other locations. My son had noticeably less fun than he does at other locations. Id been holding off on buying a pass because I didnt want to be restricted to one location but after seeing this location I will gladly drive further to use the CP location. I highly doubt we will be back. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because of the 2nd staff member who clearly cared about her job and was very courteous.
Love the idea of this place.BUT the Leander location off Ronald Raegan is ALWAYS super dirty. Im surprised they havent redone some things like painting walls again and wiping toys. Staff is usually very short with me and a little rude. Not very happy or invitingIm guessing because they are not paid enough. I would recommend going to domain location they keep it very clean there and are very nice. To be clear I know kids places get dirtybut Im talking about up keeping the building in general.
my kids like it but the swings are so dangerous for little ones. Still there nobody cares. always dirty. kids get always sick. PLEASE LITTLE LAND OWNERS...
The facility appeared run-down lacking the vibrant and inviting atmosphere that one would hope for in a childrens play center.Moreover I found the...
I was able to bring my lab top and do my college classes while my 2yr old and 3yr old played. Very nice and clean.A really kind lady who works there had her baby. She was so kind to my children and her daughter was adorable. I loved that the owner supports mothers bringing their baby to work. Ill happily support this business
So much fun This was our first time but we will definitely be back. Our daughter is 15 months and they have activities and different structures for all ages and abilities of toddlers.
I am a big fan of thw Austin Little Land and the Leander location did not disappoint.The space is very clean and full of natural light. Theres tons of fun activities for little people - including a ball pit play fort and an imaginative play area with a little grocery store and lots of play food.My 2.5 year old had a blast for every bit of the 2 hours we were there. Im confident she would have enjoyed another 1-2 hours had we been able to stay longer.The cost is reasonable especially considering they allow for unlimited play time and theres plenty to do.18 months to about 5 years seems to be the sweet spot but theres a great baby area for really little kids and older kids will definitely have fun but maybe not for quite as long.The space is a bit smaller than the Austin location which can be a plus for moms chasing several little people but again theres still plenty of great equipment to enjoy.Theyre in the process of adding a sensory room which Im really looking forward to as well.As an added bonus the environment is relatively quiet they play instrumental covers - no loud music blaring and the space wasnt over crowded.Overall great incredibly clean spot and the perfect place to let your little person burn off some excess energy.

Autism-friendly camps come in all shapes and sizes, making it easier for you to find the one that best suits your needs. An autism-friendly camp may come in the form of a day camp, meaning you drop your child off in the morning and pick them up later that afternoon, or as an overnight camp. The camp programs can range in length from a few days to a few weeks. The campers that attend autism-friendly camps may be autistic only or a mixture of neurotypical and neurodivergent kids. When it comes to support for your child, some camps offer 1:1 support while others have a higher camper-to-counselor ratio.
When choosing the perfect camp for your child there are five key things you should keep in mind:
- Interests: What does your child like to do? A sports camp probably wouldn’t be a good fit for your little bookworm. Finding the right summer camp that sparks your child’s excitement will aid in transitioning to and from camp, while also ensuring they enjoy their experience.
- Professional Support: How much support does your child need? A traveling camp may not be best for your child who tends to elope. Some camps offer 1:1 support for your child, while others may have a higher camper-to-counselor ratio. When looking for a camp, pay close attention to those ratios to ensure there is adequate support for your child’s unique needs.
- Specializations: Does the camp specialize in a specific area? If your child is nonverbal and the camp has excellent experience working with nonverbal children, it may be the perfect fit!
- Responsiveness and Accommodations: Pay special attention to camps that meet with you one-on-one either by phone, video chat, or in person, to mark out a personalized support plan for your child. You can relax knowing they’re on top of things and making sure your child is properly supported. Don’t be afraid to ask tons of questions —a great camp will welcome them!
- Location and Commitment: Not many people like a long commute. You know your child’s comfort level better than anyone else, so you’ll know what’s best for them, whether it’s a half-day camp, a full day, or an overnight experience.
Here are just a few of the benefits of summer camp for autistic children:
Fostering Social Skills: Summer camp is an excellent opportunity for your child to learn about different social scenarios they may face as they grow up and provide them first-hand experience in how to approach those situations in a safe and supportive environment.
Maintaining Mental Stimulation: With school out during the summer months, a child with autism may be missing out on many of the core structures inherently provided by the classroom and their classmates. No matter what sort of camp you choose or your child’s unique needs and interests, summer camp is a great way to keep your child mentally stimulated and challenged.
Friendship: Depending on the camp size, campers are often divided into smaller groups defined by age, interests, gender, and/or needs. These groups not only give your child the opportunity to closely identify with a group that they belong to but provide them an opportunity to learn how to make friends.
Independence and Confidence: Possibly the greatest benefit of summer camp for your child is the independence they gain. While the counselors are there for support and guidance, kids will have their own responsibilities and choices to make while at camp. Your child will be doing activities independently and actively learning what they like and don’t like. Having these sorts of experiences can boost a child’s self-confidence and nurture your child’s natural curiosity about the world.
Here are a few alternative options to consider:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps by identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It's useful for those dealing with social anxiety or difficulties. CBT addresses cognitive patterns and provides strategies to manage social challenges.
- Group therapy: Group therapy offers a supportive space where individuals can practice social skills. They can feedback from peers and a therapist. It allows interaction with others who understand and learn from each other.
- Play-based interventions: Play therapy or play-based interventions work well for younger children or those who learn through experiences. Play activities target specific social skills like turn-taking and problem-solving in a safe and engaging setting.
