What parents say
"We went here for a toddler's birthday party last weekend and we were really impressed. The staff is friendly and did a great job managing all the children. Everyone wore masks, they offered sanitizer when going into and coming out of the gym space, and we felt very safe in a pandemic environment. They had structured play time to establish safety rules and then free play time. Afterwards, we had birthday party (food) time. The staff was helpful and very accommodating. The kids loved it and were encouraged to try everything. I would highly recommend this as a birthday party option as well! Oth"

"This place has been amazing for my kids ages 4,6,8! It is such great fun and a workout!! One has special needs and they have been very welcoming and accommodating. Additionally, the environment has suited my child well, as the lights aren’t too bright and the carpeting provides a nice buffer to loud echoes that he cannot tolerate in a traditional basketball type gym. It’s not too big and overwhelming either and they allow his aid or myself to assist him during class. All three of my kids look forward to it each week."
