What parents say
"Not bad honestly. There’s just enough things to keep the kiddos occupied for a couple hours and a lot of running room. It’s nothing fancy or anything like that but overall to take your kid on a cloudy rainy day or when you wanna try something different I would recommend. Bathrooms are a little dirty, but other than that everything is fine."

"Wonderful experience!!! My daughter had her 4th birthday party today. We have several children with special needs as well as adults with medical conditions that were accommodated no questions asked. Many parents from our party made several comments about how much this place had to offer for their birthday parties, and remarked on how the children were NEVER bored. The place was clean, it wasn’t overwhelming or overstimulating. I’m so thankful to you all for my girls special day!"

"Good concept, some of the slides look well loved and my 3 year old just sunk when he went down them. There are arcade games in there that he was more interested in trying to play (separate cost). There's an area for 4 and under that's roped off and seats throughout for adults to sit while kids play. There is one way in and out. Honestly you can see most of the play area from the tables by the front door. Staff were readily available as well. There was a birthday party there and still plenty of room for the kids to play. Just FYI, there is no large sign on the building, just signs in the window"
