Heck, some kids don't even know how to play in an area like the current TSI. They're so used to interactive displays and touch screens that caves are just dirty and maybe a little smelly. And I can see this is turning into a "kids these days" on my part, so I'm going to go somewhere else and feel old.

Honestly, this sounds really out of touch with actual "kids these days." I think some of you are getting your information from tv or something. Every time we go to TSI we see loads of kids having a blast. Lots of these kids probably play video games, and read books! The horror! Oh wait, I did the same thing when I was a kid. No wonder I turned out so poorly!
