Our story
From Child Care Veterans to the Experts of Play
Kids Quest was founded in 1992 by Sue and Bill Dunkley, child care industry veterans whose family also operates early childhood education centers. Gaming industry pioneer Lyle Berman approached the Dunkleys about providing child care for casino guests, and the idea of a children’s venue like no other quickly took shape.
The goal from the start: keep kids engaged and happy, and give parents the freedom to relax and explore the resort. Kids Quest centers are colorful, inviting spaces where kids play by the hour, with snacks and drinks available at the Quest Café.
In 1996, the first Cyber Quest arcade opened at Mohegan Sun. Cyber Quest offers bright, family-friendly arcades with non-violent games, engaging teammates and great prizes, often right next to a Kids Quest center.
