What parents say
"Sant was our party assistant and he was very professional and kind. We went here to celebrate my oldest daughter’s (turning 8) birthday party. We had the royal room. He helped me put up decorations before the party, helped pass out pizza slices and cake slices during the room part. I’m thankful for his help as my husband had to stay at home with our other younger two and it was much appreciated. They ran out of bathroom show covers as well and another employee went to get them right away after we told them. We’ve been here often with our own family and the party went great. I would recommend"

"We absolutely love this place. We drive 40 minutes to come play here. I have a 6 year old and 2 year old and they never get bored with all there is to play with. We have recommended Hyper Kidz to everyone we know. It’s a great place for them to get their energy out."

"This place had lots for my kids to run around and explore on a cold winter day. The larger play area was fun to explore with them and was clean. The smaller areas for toddlers and babies were also really nice. The only downside is you can't bring in your own snacks and they don't have much variety."
