Had our 3 year old son's private birthday here recently and it was fantastic. Everything from…read morebooking to the party itself went smoothly and as described. We purchased Minions themed party and it was nicely set up and decorated. Staff involved in the party were very helpful and accomodating. Food was good, private party package includes a main dish, two side dishes and a drink chose from kids menu. Most of kids have chicken tenders, mac&cheese or bbq chicken flat bread which are above average taste and quality, freshly made. We brought our own cake which they provide lighter and knife for and even offered to cut and serve for us. And the kids had a blast in the playground area. All for a reasonable price. Not cheap, but competitive by Vancouver standards for this type of thing. Overall a great experience through and through and most importantly a great birthday party for our son.

Stuck around as my youngest was attending a birthday party this afternoon from 1-3:30…read more Cloris was my favourite staffer and go-to gal for things like an extra bin for overflow birthday presents, cups for water (and she brought me a stack which I appreciated as forward-thinking because I could leave them for the other parents in our group too), and she was extra patient with my kid when he was choosing a prize with his tickets. For the most part, I really like the systems here that made the party run fairly smoothly. Our party host staffer (didn't catch her name but she had the coolest purple shoes) was super helpful in distributing food, assisting with cake cutting, refilling pitchers, quickly cleaning up after spills and proactively dealing with cupcake leftovers being put in the fridge. Three things I'd maybe suggest could run differently: 1) have coloured wristbands assigned to party rooms so that you can tell instantly who belongs to your party group. Like at one point, we had a random little girl asking for tokens from our party host, and then a little boy just sat himself down at our party table eating food and blending in until our host mom said, "Who is this kid??" And then a minute later his mom found him! The parents thought it was hilarious. The staff also have neon shirts so maybe you can match party host to wristband colours. If this system already exists, I didn't notice and only thought of it now. 2) For bumper car passes and tokens, it would be good if birthday party kids got an allotment with their socks at the start when you sign in at the front desk. The less that parent hosts have to worry about, the better. The thing where each kid signs in and chooses hot dog or pizza is fantastic. Our host mom thought she'd have to take care of that and was relieved not to. 3) For saying goodbye and around retrieving their shoes, that could be the time and location that party hosts can give out their goodie bags. It's just a little awkward that there's no specific place to do that. I appreciated not having to sign a waiver but that's probably not the greatest for the establishment's purposes. I also appreciated not having to pay entry fee as an adult even though I was prepared to pay. But then again, encouraging parents to stay without charging them means they're okay with waiting around for their kid, being around to supervise as opposed to dropping off and leaving, and like one parent I saw, will buy food. Overall, the place seemed clean and with good air flow. The play area is large and there was a garage door open so I felt safe enough not to have to wear a mask which I really liked. The party rooms are large with high ceilings. I usually wear a mask in the classroom because of a low ceiling. It was about half full and there was lots of space for parents to gather at tables and hang out to wait for their kids. I don't know that I'd be back on my own because my oldest might feel too old for the climbing part, but the youngest had a wonderful time.

Ahhhh! What a fun place for some afternoon fun! We took our niece here when visiting family, and…read moreeveryone had tons of fun! We were all able to go through the different gym activities, engaging and interacting with our niece, but also to go down the slides. The only thing we weren't able to do was go on the trampoline park, but part of that is because our little one was too young to understand the concept. Regardless, we had fun and would be back whenever we're in town again!

It was our first time here, but we have been wanting to come for some time now, just always hesitated because the price was on the higher end. The one thing that disappointed us was the attitude of the lady working there. She was not friendly at all, didn't even smile once during the 3 hours that we were there. There is zero customer service. When it came time to leave instead of giving us a 30 min reminder to usher the kids out, she went in at 6pm and shouted at everyone. I think this is very unnecessary as the kids were having fun. As parents we were already trying to get the kids out of the play area to the best of our ability, but kids don't necessarily respond well to yelling. I liked the venue, but won't be coming back. We came here to have fun, and this kind of customer service has definitely left a very negative impression for us.

Yes you need to pay a cover charge for extra adults, like EVERY other play place. I'm glad. What sets this place apart is not just its typical rules for everyone's safety, not even the dynamic program with something for each age. Not even some of the best thought out layout of a freaking huge amount of toys and activities. When it comes down to it, the ownership has done a fantastic job making this a fun safe place to learn... but MOST of all by staffing it with caring, wise,genuinely nice people. A lady was here and just lost her phone, there are tons of people here today, yet multiple staff helped look for it l.. and finally found it. I just watched the lady hug the staff member. It's really just a great place to come.

Well, after all the raves I've been hearing about this place, I had to make the trek to come…read morecheck it out, and I have to say that it was fairly disappointing and I didn't feel like it was worth the drive. It wasn't as large as I had thought, and maybe there was too much to choose from, but my 4 year old didn't stay engaged in one play area for very long before wandering off to the next There are various play areas - water, ball pit, bounce/ inflatable, playground, etc. and they organize little games throughout the day. The place is fairly clean and well maintained. There is a small cafe with a small seating area They say no outside food and drinks, but it looks like a lot of families packed their own snacks. Free parking in plaza lot. Free wifi. I like the bunch of leftover birthday balloons by the front desk that are free for the kiddos as they leave. Makes going home a little easier.

There's a few different sizes slides to play, dress up area, sandbox area, merry go around, kitchen area upstairs, many toy cars and even a water gun shooting machine. We ordered the beef noodles and they had those thick chewy noodles which was very yummy along with generous amounts of meat. The soup base was also very flavourful. The popcorn chicken was also delicious, but it tasted more like oven reheated versus oil fried fresh ones. But the flavour was still good! The kids meal was a pretty good portion as well with marinated Minced pork. Very flavourful and the cucumbers were marinated as well! They did increase their prices after the renovations, but i suppose the pricing is still relatively reasonable and close to other places as well.

We stopped by with our toddler based off of pics and reviews on Google while we were in town and…read morethe experience is very lackluster. It is located in a plaza and the appearance on the outside was very unexpected. Upon entering the space is quite large and there isn't smell (which is a plus as these kinda of places can tend at times..) there only appeared to be an older couple working. It's $7/adult + $9.99 for a child between 12-24 months. There are cubicles to stick your shoes (as they are not allowed inside) and socks are required. We were allowed to push our stroller within the table area (which is to the right side of the play space. There is essentially a large structure that combines a ball pit with various slides. They also have large foam structures within the ball pit for kiddos to play with. The other larger structure has a ground level sensory area (which we didn't explore), dress up area, a car track, and then an upper area where we spent most of our time (photos included) which include various children kitchen/house toys, smaller toddler toys, a grocery area.. everything is mismatched and jumbled together - a lot of the toys missing components, batteries run out, broken, etc.. there are signs that say it is picked up every "20 mins" as in my photos but that was definitely not the case. We visited for an hour and it wasn't once picked up. There is also a merry go round that we manually pushed but I do think it does work electrically - we just didn't ask. I can see it being an okay option for younger kids to come when the weather doesn't permit outside. We wouldn't come out of our way to visit again but appreciated the concept.

Ice rink. basketball, pickleball, tennis courts, swimming pool...etc.) Came here for a dinner to celebrate the marriage of a newly wedded couple. We were on the 3rd floor at the Quichena Terrace. There were about 10 tables in the room. So, not a tiny intimate wedding celebration but not a super large one either compared to pretty much most other weddings I've been to in my life which probably had 2 - 3 times as many tables in the room. There was a 6pm reception and then dinner at 7pm. At the reception, servers were walking around handing out hors d'oeuvres to the guests. Service was kinda "meh." We were standing around in a corner and saw one of the servers walk up to some other people and serve them some hors d'oeuvres, inches away from us but then they turned and walked off in another direction without actually approaching our own group to offer us some hors d'oeuvres. That was kinda weird. I ended up wandering off into the dining room and grabbing an hors d'oeuvres for myself when I saw another server with a different tray of hors d'oeuvres on it. Other than the one server who spun on their heels without offering anything to us, service from everyone else was pretty decent. I think there were about 4 different hors d'oeuvres. Two of them had meat in them so I couldn't eat those. The other two had seafood in them, which I still eat being pescatarian so I was able to enjoy those. One was a prawn tempura and the other was a crab cake. Loved the crab cake! The bar had 4 different Mocktails available. My daughter and I both ordered something called a Stingray which consisted of pineapple juice, orange juice and soda. It wasn't bad but we both decided that we prefer the taste of a Shirley Temple over a Stingray. Dinner was buffet style. Lots of different options for various dietary restrictions. The food was very good. Especially the Sablefish. Oh wow...soooo tender. I couldn't resist going back for seconds! I try to eat seafood sparingly and veer more towards Vegetarian/ Vegan most of the time but this was one of those times when being Pescatarian is really a lot more fun than being Vegetarian! Hadn't had Sablefish in a long time and this was sooooo good! Not a member here so can't really comment on the facilities but was suitably impressed with the food!
