    Amanda Banta said:  The buzz about Billy Beez is unBEElievable. Kids can climb through tunnels and mazes, zoom down slides, play pretend, and more at this huge play place. Both Massachusetts locations have a separate section where toddlers can play on toddler-sized equipment. Because adults pay admission, parents can get in on all the fun as well!
