$20 for 2 hours. $15 for 1 hour. First adult is free of charge. There’s a monthly pass too. There’s plenty of workers walking around making sure the rules are followed. Someone was walking around constantly cleaning. There’s a well stocked snack bar for food and drinks. No alcohol but plenty of candy and junk food. Bathrooms were very well cleaned with slippers provided inside. Must have socks only to enter the play area. Nice central area for the adults to sit and play on their phones while the children play.

Great customer service. Staff was very friendly. I would have to come back and give an update on how I feel overall. Since the place was very packed. There was a party during my first time here and a lot of people trying to get in. But from my experience so far, I would give it a 4 due to customer service and clean bathrooms despite so many kids. I observed the staff constantly wiping down equipment, so thats a plus. Seats are limited and I didnt buy any snacks. I would love to come back and update my review once its less crowded. But so far it was nice place.

Took my grandkids here for a 2 hour play time. They had lots of fun. It wasn't overcrowded and is very clean. Hand sanitizers everywhere, snack bar area, and the bathrooms are kept clean and tidy. For the price, this is a great place to bring the kids for play time. Ohhhhh, and they have 6 or massage chairs in the back, tables for snack time, and a TV with football playing for the adults.
