What parents say
"We love HOH! Our 5 year old daughter just started this year (Jan 2022) but is already enjoying it so much! She always looks forward to going because of how much fun she has, how kind the instructors are, and getting to play with new friends. Her skills have already improved to advance to the next level in just 3 months! They're a great place to have kids birthday parties, attend summer camp, and she loves the monthly parents night out parties with pizza & play! It's been around for a long time - our nieces who are grown up young adults now attended when they were little and loved it. That's ho"

"Went in and watched my granddaughter do her gymnastics class or her nastics class as she calls it. They jumped on the launch board, walked a beam, did a forward somersault, walked a beam and wall, started learning a cartwheel, jumped on a trampoline, worked on somersaults on a bar, climbed on a horizontal ladder, did the pelican, and slid down the slide. In general, they had a lot of fun while working on some basics."
