Earthling, fun house, bill, restroom

Inspa World, a five-story 60,000-square-foot funhouse, bills itself as a “spa and water park.” But that doesn’t quite capture it. At a mere $30 to get in, and kids scrambling around, it’s no Canyon Ranch. And without water slides or wave machines, it’s no Typhoon Lagoon, either. The closest relative may be the “mustard-off pools” in Dr. Seuss’s “Happy Birthday to You!”
