Great place for the kids to have fun. Wish it could be cheaper but at least it’s free for the accompanying adults. Kids had a great time and played continuously for a few hours. Will come again. Update: had my kid’s birthday party here. All kids had a great time playing. But the party is poorly organized. Chairs for parents all jammed on one side and lots parents end up standing, the party assistant was still busy getting pizzas while all the kids were already in the room. It was quite a chaos. Finally the assistant asked all the kids to sing the birthday song and that was the only thing she said to the kids during the party. The guest list had a bigger kid signed in whose mom actually paid the ticket for the kid already. Yea, we may still have my kid play there once a while but I wouldn’t recommend having party there.

Love this place but just 2 “negative” things are it’s bit expensive to be honest but what isn’t nowadays? As well as, it’s a bit bizarre that they close at 6 everyday . I’d be their best paying customer had they been open later especially since I live up the block. I can’t tell you how many other family members and friends have said the same over the years .Most people don’t get off work until 5/6. Hoping the owner sees this and can possibly reconsider their hours . :( on a more positive note , it is very clean & full of things to do for all ages including he toddler area , the games , blow up bounce houses & the actual play structure for all ages .I even find it fun to slide down the slides with my kids and crawl through the tunnels etc lol

Great for children under 10. They have arcade games, bounce-house-slides, mini ropes course with mini zip-line, and a large climbing gym. They also have a small area for the toddlers to climb around safely with your own supervision. NEW... They newly added rock climbing walls which are super fun! They also added a VR multi-player game to occupy the older siblings a bit. They added a small bowling arcade but it doesn't always work and a lazer obstacle arcade (not Lazer tag). It's clean and there's meant to be no shoes on the rugs but since they need them for the ropes and rock walls, it's not easy to enforce. No shoes on the climbing gym and slides and they do sell socks if you forget a pair but you can wear your own socks which is nice (unlike the trampoline gyms). I do not recommend eating there though I think they do have some food. Bday parties are a big thing here on weekends but the crowds are typically still manageable.

went to a birthday party here… the price for having a party here is a total waste… let’s start with $6 on a game card when 1 game is $5… $500 for absolutely nothing to be honest. you have the cupcakes they gave was hard as a rock, like they just took it out the freezer. it’s waaay to expensive. had child blood on the floor but have 2 kids running around telling adults not to wear shoes which i get but we aren’t doing anything, so if i had no socks i had to buy $3 worth? and they don’t have grip on the bottom? the staff that i’ve came across was nice but this place is a mess

Update: At our recent visit it became clear that the cleanliness is really going downhill. The floor was filthy with crumbs and dust all over the place. It looks like it hasn't been vacuumed in a couple of weeks. Every time you go to the cafe area to have a snack, all the tables are dirty and the floors are dirty and there's nowhere to sit. Yet somehow there are 15 to 20 teenagers working who are hanging out behind the prize counter on the floor. Or sitting behind the main desk on the computers or on their phones. There's not a whole lot to do for the entry fee. I always end up spending about $30 on the arcade games which cost $1.50 to $2 a play. The zipline and rock climbing wall are always closed for seemingly no reason. Maybe for cleaning? But no one is cleaning them. The kids who work here don't seem to be doing anything and there is never an adult manager on site. I've seen the staff hanging out under the climbing structure when they were supposed to be cleaning. I assume - because they're holding bottles of cleaner and rags. There's a ton of people wearing shoes in the play area even though that is supposedly not allowed for cleanliness. Also some people are barefoot -without socks. Also there are not enough benches for parents to sit down.
