UGH, that's to far IMO. i wont go anywhere further than 5-10 mins. we have at least 3 options within 5-10 mins.
Have you googled for other play gyms in your area? we have Little Gym, Kids U, Great Play... the Gymboree is like 20-30 mins away, so didn't consider it.
it takes us 15 minutes to get to our gymboree place. it's all side streets (no freeway) so that varies a bit depending on how many red lights we hit, how slow people are driving, etc.
15 min would be my max. try googling other types of classes. there are a ton in my area although Id have to say gymboree is the best around here. I also just signed LO up for a music class (kindermusik) that is at a local church.
Ours is 10 minutes away, its the only one in the area and I know a lot of people drive long distances to get there. IMO I would go with PP, if there is something closer that is similar, they are all good programs! GL
ours is about 10 minutes away. one of the bonuses to gymboree is their open gyms, so i don't know if i would go so far, because you aren't really going to get to use the open gyms all that often and i feel like that's part of what makes it worth the money.
other option would be to sign up for a class on a day there is an open gym also, or figure out a way that you can make a day of the trip (or a half day).
