What parents say
Thank you so much for helping us create such a special moment for our son’s birthday! Everything went above and beyond our expectations. The decorations were beautifully done and matched his theme perfectly, and the entire setup looked amazing.
Awesome place to have a birthday party! They accommodated us short notice when weather was going to ruin our outdoor party. We had the cafeteria space which was large with lots of tables and also nice to be able to see out to the main play area. Staff is very friendly and attentive.
Great atmosphere, clean and friendly. For now.... a hidden gem, especially on rainy day. It's our 5th time here. Shawna was very attentive and the manager Lindsey was just as sweet
Went for the first time today and we had so much fun! The staff working were very professional and explained everything so well. We did the family play session and liked it so much we paid for 2 hours. Ginny and Meghan were super nice and checked on us throughout our time there.
