The event will be held indoors regardless of weather, so parents should rest assured that the weather will not spoil any plans to celebrate the redemption of the Jews of Persia some 500 years BCE.
The center’s backyard is not available this year due to ongoing construction.
The doors to the center will be open at both the front and the rear of the building this year. Wrist bands to ride all of the rides cost $12.00 for an unlimited number of times to ride the giant slide, bounce houses and giant obstacle course. The cost goes down to $10.00 for each person who in brings in a non-perishable food item earmarked for the Broad Street Food Pantry.
Hamantashen, snowballs, and kosher food from Kosher Cajun and Middle Eastern fare from Casablanca Restaurant will also be on hand for purchase. There is a possibility that Waffles on Maple may be dispensing food as well, but that has not been verified as of press time.
