Original Toronto Star caption: A Big yellow mattress for bouncing on is one of the noisier attractions of the Children's Village at Ontario Place; which opened yesterday with more than 4;000 children trying out the rubber forest and other imagination-stretching settings. They can be anything they want to be here; one mother said. A few adults tried out the place; but not many. Most of them just looked as though they'd like to play.
