This place is great for toddlers and young kids. We drove about 40 mins to play here with my niece to get out of the Texas heat. They have classes for sensory sensitive children and a sensory quiet room. Lots of big swings slides of all sizes dress up clothes bouncy toys and soft squishy toys. I highly recommend it.
We used to love this place. Today I had an incident with my 3 year old for the first time and it was enough for us to walk away immediately. Respectfully the staff needs to keep an eye on their children.
We took our grandildren there last week and they really had a good time A nice variety of toys activities to keep children busy. Very nice clean.
We absolutely love Temple Little land We recently got relocated here and needed a place we could hang out at hopefully make friends with. Well this is the place my daughter has made great friends here and I love the atmosphere. One thing Im extremely picky about is bathrooms and cleanliness when going somewhere with my kiddo and little land temple hits all those marks. Their employees are constantly cleaning and keeping the areas clear for the little runners. I also appreciate the tables for the parents and cubbies for shoesbags. We kept coming so much we just decided to do the monthly membership for 39 which after looking other places was such a great deal. I could keep going but just in general little land temple has become like a second family we get to visit several times a week. Also cant wait to do her birthday party here when it comes around The reason I recommend Little land Temple is because the atmosphere. I also love how much the staff talks and is apart of the fun that goes on there including the front desk who are always nice answers any questions we have. Weve gotten to really know the staff which we really appreciate especially Jennifer who works the front desk we see almost every time were there. And the owner is an absolute sweet heart who loves the kids really runs a team that makes everyone feel welcome.
My son and I love this place Theyre always so welcoming here. The therapists are so great and the staff is always making sure the kids here play nicely with each other and arent being too crazy. My son has an issue of being very why when meeting new people but grew comfortable with Little Land instantly. They constantly are keeping the toys clean and making sure that any toy that touches a kids mouth is separated to be sanitized. Theres plenty of soft cushions and pads to make sure the kids are safe and theres a lot of cubbies to keep shoes out of the way so no one trips. There also tables and wifi to work from if any parent needs. Little Land is really awesome to keep let kids get all that energy out.
Love this place My kid does therapies multiple times a week there so were there A LOT.Its always spotless and inviting Front desk and owner are amazing and so accommodating
fun- but really expensive for what it is. I wish they offered a siblings or military discount but they do not is also love if theyd add a punch card option. They do have an unlimited family month option but even for that Im going to need to weigh the costs def for younger kids my 6 year old was mostly entertained but def. Less items for him but tons for his 2 years old sister.
We had been driving for a couple hours road trip and came across this place when looking for a playground for my daughter to expend some energy. it was...
I love this place so much Since joining here my daughter has shown a tremendous amount of development in speech thanks to Mr. Drew. He is such a patient...
Weve been 3 times now over the course of 2 years as we only come while were visiting family here in Temple. The first 2 times were absolutely great and the people there were so welcoming. This time around there was a very hostile feeling with the other guests there. I understand that most of the people that come are also there for some therapy but its still open to the public for open play. The other patrons were very keep their child away from mine. I gathered they knew each other as the parents were chatting with each other but not even a friendly smile towards me or my child. My child was very sad that they werent being allowed to play with the other kids.As a review of the place - it was great My child loves the toys and freedom thats there. Its clean and a great place to let a kid be kid - much easier than at non child proofed families house.
I debated on saying anything while I was at Little Land and posting on review but my experience this morning bothered me. There were only few parents and few kids today. It seemed everyone knew each other or worked there. One of the parents sons ran across the room and pushed my one year old on purpose and then continually followed her trying to push her to the point I had to carry her. I looked around to see possibly if I could spot the parent but seems everyone was too occupied on their phones to notice their childs behavior. Finally figured out who the parent was and seemed possibly shes an employee. She was in and out of all of the therapy rooms. There need to be more supervising. I enjoy the play area itself and seems clean but todays experience had me uncomfortable to have my children there.
I have been here a few times with my daughter and I have not been a big fan. It has always been VERY crowded. I wish they limited the number of children...
My daughter and I just joined this location last week and we commute from the Fort Hood area. We are loving it. Its very clean organized and a very friendly staff. Snacks available to purchase an area to feed your child lunch they have art classes you can take that are extra and parents day out days that are an extra cost but so nice to have available. We are really enjoying this new found haven of fun Lots of nice children for my daughter to play with as well. Five stars

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.
