Smart Tykes

"Dump your kids in the learn zone!"

- Slogan for Smart Tykes

Smart Tykes is a children's play area.

History
Marge brought the family here thinking it was educational, due to the name and slogan. However, she was shocked to find that it was not a place for learning and was a fun play area, with trampolines, climbing frames, slides and laser tag.

Marge told Homer to keep an eye on Bart and Lisa. They ran off and Homer ran after them to look for them and he found lots of lookalikes of Bart and Lisa and even Bart and Lisa-shaped climbing frames. He then found them on top of the castle and they asked him to come up. After navigating the castle, kids and a dying father, Homer got to the top and was shot by foam balls until he fell off the top. Ralph Wiggum then started to jump on Homer, thinking of him as a trampoline.

When the security system went off locking everyone in, the fathers rioted and smashed up the cafeteria, while the moms talked about their pregnancies. The fathers eventually managed to escape after Rainier Wolfcastle threw Homer through the door.

Description
The play area has lots of trampolines, including trampolines for playing basketball on, trampolines for sleeping on and trampolines with trampolines on. There is a huge castle play area with foam ball shooters on top. There are lots of tunnels, stairs, slopes and narrow areas leading to the top and other fathers have sometimes got stuck in the play area. There is also a slide that leads down into the Mormon Church underneath. Also on the premises is a large laser tag area.

The building has high tech security. All kids are given bracelets to stop them leaving without setting off security systems (which actually do nothing to help keep the kids in as if the kids get out the door, the whole building locks down, trapping everyone else inside).

Employees
Shauna is the manager of Smart Tykes, a job she doesn't like. When a kid escaped, setting off the security, she couldn't care less and said that she wanted a job at Krusty Burger because she could then burn herself and go home. Jeremy Freedman also works in Smart Tykes and supervises the children and gives them the security bracelets.
