What parents say
When booking the Nestling party package for my daughter’s 1st birthday party, I didn’t see a Gracie’s Corner theme but Kama went above and beyond to make it happen! She communicated with me throughout the entire process.
Wow wow wow it exceeded my hopes as a beautiful, creative, open ended play for my toddler that was NOT loud, overstimulating, or chaotic. I mean I literally felt so calm and relaxed, as I sipped coffee and enjoyed watching my little one explore the many options for gross and fine motor play, sensory play, music and…
What a great concept! Our children (1 and 5 years old) loved this alternative indoor playground. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. A little more explanation would be good (f.e. „Help yourself to the coffee over there“). The concept is very close to Maria Montessori’s theory’s of learning.
We celebrated our little one’s first birthday here! We had the peacock party package and it was absolutely worth it. The theme was on point and handled with care, down to the last detail. It was absolutely a wonderful and fun time for all! I would highly recommended this place for your next party!
