What parents say
I took three kids (4, 7 & 10) here on a Wednesday afternoon in October for an hour. It was around $55 before any food, drinks or arcade games. It wasn’t too busy and they had a chance to try pretty much everything, but we easily could have stayed longer.
Very fun place for my kids. Like to see the staff all working, especially seeing new faces. The food was so good (the pizza). The place was very clean. I talked to the party hosts and will soon be booking a party. I went for a party I was invited to and the ladies were so sweet and kind and they were really clean.
I had never heard of this place, before a coworker recommended that I take it out. I took my four year old son, and while I was signing the waiver, he was ready to takeoff and go explore. They do offer a military discount which helps. I purchased the socks, and asked my son if he wanted me to go in with him.
First time at Smiley! It was a cute spot for children to release energy. Had a variety of different hands-on activities for all ages, under 10 of course! The reasons for the four stars is the merry-go-rounds weren't moving, there was tape everywhere from rips, I'm assuming and dirt build up at the end of the ball pit…
