The San Jose Mercury News said the following about one of our most recent projects, Bamboola, a 28,000 sf children's edutainment center:
"On a small scale, Bamboola did what Walt Disney did 42 years ago. Walt Disney took the hopelessly tawdry, sleazy amusement parks of the 1950s and reinvented them as clean, comfortable, wholesome Disneyland. [White Hutchinson] took the tawdry, noisy fun centers of the 1990s, added a dash of the Children's Discovery Museum, and created Bamboola. . . . It has taken the pleasure and comfort of its customers into account with intelligence and care. It uses design to make a better product and a better environment."
The Editor of RePlay magazine said our FEC "feasibility studies are often praised by other industry pros as the creme de la creme of this niche of the industry."
In their groundbreaking 1999 book, The Experience Economy, Joseph Pine and James Gilmore used our Bamboola children's edutainment center as an example of a venue that stages edutainment experiences.
The April 30, 2001 issue of Time magazine referred to the children's centers our company produces for clients as the Xanadus of children's edutainment.
In January 2005, the Food Network featured Randy White, our CEO, on the Unwrapped show as an 'eatertainment' expert.
Randy White was quoted as an expert on children's edutainment projects in the May 19, 2005 issue of the Wall Street Journal.
