What parents say
"As a safe, fun place for young children to play and socialize with peers, grandparents and parents will love FunBelievable in Lakeside. They have day rates, short term, and multi month passes - we take our grandchildren 1-2 times per week, every week. While the parents must oversee their children's conduct at play, the staff are very attentive and personable. They have a snack bar, but permit you to bring in water and small snacks for your kids."

"Came through for a birthday party and loved the experience. Kids had a lot of fun with the huge play structure and the sports ball zone was an unique area that not a lot of playhouses have. I personally enjoyed the reasonably priced massage chairs and would come back just for that 😀"

"We love this place. It’s perfectly sized—small yet spacious at the same time. There are so many activities for the kids, and it’s truly wonderful. I don’t have to worry about them getting lost because the area is so compact. The front desk staff do their best to keep the door secure; even when I try to leave, they have to unlock it for safety. It is a bit of a drive, but I would choose this location over larger establishments any day."
