Brickell City Center, Reach and Rise
Situated in the heart of Brickell/Downtown Miami, Brickell City Centre’s REACH and RISE residential children’s playroom each features an extremely hi-tech, innovative space to rival the savviest adult amenities. With several walls with interactive, touch-screen games (while others remain blank for children to write and draw pictures allowing for creative expression), the playrooms boasts a collection of giant models to facilitate the ultimate role playing experience that includes a fire station and engine, a multi-level castle, and a pirate ship with a nautical backdrop. What’s more? The playroom is viewable from the towers’ state-of-the-art (adult) fitness center, meaning parents and loved ones can supervise their children’s playtime without having to sit stationary on the sidelines.
