I was looking for new playgrounds to take my kids and came across tons of cool looking playgrounds. I also found some lists of what others consider to be the best. I started thinking that other parents might be looking for new places to take their kids, so we decided to make some videos of the parks we go to. Hope you enjoy and have as much fun at them as we do. @Kids Fantasyland
