Family Restaurant and Play Space Opens in Woodland Hills Saturday

A fun new family restaurant is coming to Westfield Topanga mall. In addition to a full kitchen and restaurant seating, Giggles N' Hugs will have lots of fun play installations for children.

The 2,000-square-foot play area will have two 12-foot story book castle towers with connecting sky bridges, a 26-foot pirate ship complete with a 25-foot zip line spanning a giant padded ball pit and a 12-foot tall tree tower that takes children to a 30-foot long rope bridge stretching over the pirate ship and linking to the castle towers, according to the company's press release. There will also be a dragon climber with side-by-side slides and an option to continue up into a lookout tower that's complete with a spiral slide.

As well, there will be a designated area for crawlers and toddlers and several toddler-sized slides throughout the play area.

To top it all, there is nightly entertainment such as magic shows, concerts, puppet shows, face painting and arts and crafts.

Giggles n' Hugs serves high-end organic food. The menu for its Westfield Century City location boasts separate adult and kid's menus plus a breakfast menu. The childrens' menu offers a variety of pasta dishes, including Princess' Pink Pasta. Kids can make thier own pizzas (they give kids the dough, pizza sauce, cheese and choice of one topping), and included in drink choices are a concoction called Hot Huge made of "steamed milk, honey, a dash of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, a fluffy marchmallow and lots of love," according to the menu.

Giggles N' Hugs is also known for their own creation called "Mom's Tricky Treat Sauce," which hides pureed vegetables in kids' favorite meals such as pizza, pastas and macaroni and cheese.

The restaurant will be situated next to Target, above the carousel in the Topanga Mall.
