What parents highlight
“I know it won't last long because Next Level is clean, beautiful and amazing for all ages.”
“5 year old was a little too big/adventurous for the baby area but too small to really traverse the playgrounds on his own.”
“The owner Robert was also very friendly and explained all of the packages they offer for family events like birthday parties.”
“I hope they have better food choices though in the snack bar.”
What parents say
Great spot so your kids get tired haha! It’s not too big of a place fr, it’s pretty simple but for the price it’s good. The kids will enjoy themselves, if your kid is 1-3 years depending on how independent your kid is you’ll have to be following them around to help them get on/off things.
Woah. Best kept secret around town. I know it won't last long because Next Level is clean, beautiful and amazing for all ages. Bring your socks and have fun. The owner was kind and welcoming. My family has been to all the playgrounds in the north/northwest parts of Chicago and this has to be the best one out there.
My 18 months old boy had so much fun playing here yesterday. It was our first time here and we had an amazing time! The staff were very nice and friendly! I hope they have better food choices though in the snack bar. But overall, the place looks clean and my toddler enjoyed our time there. Thank you
Had my son’s birthday party today. Kids had fun playing around. Place was clean and spacious. Owner was very approachable and hands on. Room was prepared well. No other unnecessary fee. We’ll recommend to friends! Keep it up next level. 😊
