"I used to enjoy taking my kids to Uptown Jungle. They have fun and there is so much to do and it previously was a great place for fun birthday parties.

"We love coming to uptown Jungle, it's always a good time for the kids. As an event planner I love doing events here! Everyone is so kind and helpful to us. Being able to set up and decorate for events is a big one for me and they're always so patient with us."
