Insider tips
- Consider purchasing a membership if you plan for frequent visits, as daily rates are often perceived as slightly overpriced.
- Always buy tickets online ahead of time, but be prepared for potential technical issues with the website and credit card processing; have a backup payment method ready.
- Ensure you have the entry code readily accessible on your phone at all times, as it is required for both initial entry and re-entry if you step outside.
- If visiting with a baby under 1, set low expectations for the dedicated baby area due to reported poor condition of toys.
Good to know before you go
- If you have babies under 1 and expect a high-quality, engaging infant play area.
- If you require on-site staff for assistance, supervision, or safety monitoring.
- If your children are 6-7 years old and tend to bore quickly with standard indoor play equipment.
- Booking birthday parties, due to issues with room lighting, staff rudeness, restrictive rules, and lack of owner responsiveness.
- Attempting to purchase tickets upon arrival, as the process is frustrating and inefficient.
- Crowds
- The entryway area can become busy and frustrating when multiple families are attempting to buy tickets on arrival or enter/exit simultaneously.
- Value
- Daily rates are described as 'slightly overpriced', with memberships offering a 'good deal'. The $13 charge for the baby area is considered poor value. Overall admission is perceived as 'pretty high' for an 'indoor play set', with suggestions that a $5-$8 price point would be more appropriate. It's noted to be similarly priced to Urban Air, but 'much better quality' is found there. Birthday parties are also deemed 'pricey for no good reason'.
- Accessibility
- No specific accessibility accommodations are mentioned in the reviews. The reliance on an access code and the lack of an internal door handle could create barriers for some individuals.
- Safety
- Entry is secured by a code system, indicating controlled access.

"Super convenient with a code! Fair pricing, especially if you have an older child and a baby under 1. However, the baby area is sad and sorry. They have some little gyms and activities, but for $13, I wish the battery operated toys had working batteries. I also have an 8 year old, she has a blast here! I think it’s better suited for her age."
