What parents say
Such a fun place for kids. My little one loves the play structure and bounce houses. So far we've been on the weekend and weekday; both experiences were very positive, but as expected the weekend was way busier (still very much enjoyed our time though).
Great time for our sons birthday party. A huge jungle gym, laser tag & arcade games. Our room was clean & the staff was attentive. Our birthday package came with pizza, drinks, goodie bags for each guest, $10 game cards for each kid & a build a bear for the birthday boy.
I absolutely love this place! There's something for all ages and even an arcade area. There are so many options and not too bad on prices to unlock it all. My oldest loved the ninja thing they put in their cause he was able to rock climb for the first time. I will most definitely be back, and hopefully soon!!
Great value for hours of burning energy. We brought an 8 and 3 year old here on a Friday afternoon and had a blast! All they did was run up stairs and slide down things for hours. I overheard another kid say "I am exhausted" and my kids were the same.
