What parents say
"This is a delayed review but better late than never. I had my daughter's 3 year birthday party here and it was a huge success. All the pre-party communication with the staff was great. They were very responsive and always got back to me in a timely manner. The space is awesome with one side for food and drinks and the other side for play. They decorate for you, do all the set up and clean up and even let you bring your own music playlist. The staff was so helpful and everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this spot for a birthday party and in the end, it ends up being the same price"

"My husband & I were dropped off @ Allo and spent 2 hours with our 11 month old. We all had a ball. The play space is divided into several rooms that are all clean, imaginative, and a total joy. Eloise was engaged the entire time climbing, crawling all over, playing the drums and engaging with all the tactile objects. The owners clearly love what they do, participate and are available & talking about the new things they’re creating. Allo is a magic al play-space!"
