Insider tips
- Budget for extra costs if children wish to use the Cyclone Blaster ($2 per play).
- Be prepared to purchase all food and drinks (other than cake) from the venue, and anticipate 'super expensive' pizza prices.
- Inspect inflatables in the first room upon arrival, especially if your children are prone to bruising, due to reports of wear.
- Consider the potential for poor ventilation in the party hall, especially for longer parties or guests sensitive to stuffy environments.
- Take advantage of the hands-off service: bring only the birthday cake as staff handles distribution of other items.
- Booking a private party package ensures an exclusive experience without other public guests.
Good to know before you go
- Parents on a strict budget for party food and drinks due to the no outside food policy and expensive in-house options.
- Children or guests sensitive to poorly ventilated or stuffy environments.
- Younger or more delicate children using the first room's inflatables if the reported wear and potential for bruises is a significant concern.
- Inflatables in the first room are reported as worn out and needing maintenance, with a potential to cause bruises to jumping children.
- The party hall lacks ventilation, which can lead to a suffocating atmosphere after some time.
- Crowds
- Very low to non-existent for private party bookings, as reviewers explicitly state it was 'only my party in the play room' and 'private jump'.
- Value
- The venue is considered 'a bit pricey but we'll worth it' by some. A deluxe Saturday package for 20 kids, including 'a bunch of food and the glow in the dark room', amounted to just under $1350 for roughly two hours. The value stems from the private play area, dedicated party staff managing all aspects, and the convenience of a hands-off experience for parents. However, there are hidden costs: the Cyclone Blaster is $2 per use, and purchased pizzas are 'super expensive'.
- Food
- No outside food or drinks are permitted for parties, with the sole exception of the birthday cake.
- Accessibility
- No accommodations mentioned
- Safety
- A significant concern is that inflatables in the first room are 'worn out' and 'can cause bruises'.
What parents say
"Nice concept for birthday parties. Kids thoroughly enjoy this kind of activities. Cyclone blaster in the second room is $2 per each time. It can be included in the overall price. Inflatables in the first room are worn out and need maintenance, it can cause bruises to the jumping kids. No ventilation in party hall, gets suffocating after some time. No outside food or drinks allowed for the party. Pizzas are available to purchase from them but are super expensive."

"Had my daughter's 5th birthday here. It was a bit pricey but we'll worth it. I got the 20 kids deluxe Saturday package and also added a bunch of food and the glow in the dark room. We had two party pro's helping (i wish I could remember their names) both very sweet and on top of their game. Everything with tip came out to just under $1350 for roughly two hours, again this included a bunch of extra food and drinks. It was perfect because it was only my party in the play room for the hour and a half. I didn't need to worry about any other kids."

"Friendly staff and clean. They have good varieties of inflatables for an hour’s private jump. They do not have the usual crown for the birthday kid instead they give a birthday ball. Both first and the second rooms have big slides that the kids enjoyed."
