What parents highlight
“There also was a host who was very helpful when I needed things or when it was time to clean up she was there.”
“This place was great because it only costed $8 for my toddler and I was able to sit and relax with the baby while my toddler ran around and played.”
“Very nice place for my 5 year olds birthday party!”
“Not a lot of food choices but reasonably priced for what they had.”
What parents say
Best place for Birthday Party and for open play! This was the 1st time having a birthday party here and we booked a private Party for 30ish kids and their adults. There was enough space for everyone to play and relax.
Decent place for the kids to run off energy. Big room with tons of outdoor toys. Inflatable slide, GINORMOUS playground set with fast slides, non-electric ride on toys, and good size area to ride them. Also, a section with more toddler/baby friendly playground style sets and houses.
We are in town for the week and I needed to find things to do with my infant and 3 yo. This place was great because it only costed $8 for my toddler and I was able to sit and relax with the baby while my toddler ran around and played. There was plenty for my toddler to do including a bin of Legos.
Nice indoor place for kids to play, lots of bikes or ride on vehicles, huge jungle gyms for big kids and smaller kids too. Lots of play houses, basketball, bounce house, hot wheels tracks and cars to play with and one of the staff Melissa is always doing some craft projects, sometimes music play classes with person…
