There is so much room to run around in and lots of apparatuses to try, whether you're there for free play or for formal gymnastics training. There is also a Ninja Warrior themed area, with obstacles from the show for you to try. Because we were there for a birthday party, you get two chaperones who stay with your group and show the kids how to use the equipment. They didn't set up any particular obstacle or activity for the group to do together, so parents just had to supervise their kids (or run around with them as well) around the gym. My husband and I got yelled at a few times because we managed to get into the areas we were NOT supposed to go (the Ninja Warrior equipment and the inflatable slide, which has designated times for use). We had our own area for eating and storing presents for the birthday girl. After we ate, the chaperones finished our birthday session at the inflatable slide. Not the smartest order after our kids stuffed themselves with pizza and cake, but the kids had fun nonetheless. This was a fun, HUGE, and clean facility to use for a birthday party. Seems like a reputable place to enroll your kids or yourself in for gymnastics and other tumbling sports.

I visited the Clearwater Acquarium as part of a corporate awards dinner, so my visit was different…read morethan many who go during the day (although I have visited as a tourist a few years back). My group was brought over from our hotel on trolleys and directed up a flight of stairs. Once we found the correct door, we were led into the dolphin room. We had cocktail hour there, which was cool - as we could walk around the dolphin exhibit while enjoying a cocktail (or 3). After cocktails, we went upstairs to a ballroom area and had dinner and drinks, listened to award presentations, and then had a live band with karaoke. The catering staff was great, although the fish entree was cold and not very flavorful (not the fault of the aquarium IMO). This was a highlight of my business trip and I thoroughly enjoyed the dolphins.

I'm not one for leaving bad reviews, but the Clearwater Marine Aquarium was a little disappointing…read more There is a large tank when you first walk in to the aquarium that was completely empty. Literally no fish whatsoever. You walk around the tank as you walk around the aquarium there are window all the way around, but again, the tank was completely empty. There were other areas of the aquarium that were under construction due to either renovations or expansion. Due to this there were multiple enclosures that had no fish are animals to view. It's a little disappointing when you are traveling for vacation and the aquarium was the place that your daughter was looking forward to the most. All this while still charging full price for admission. All that being said, they have a very friendly and informed staff and volunteers that clearly do a lot for the marine life. It is very commendable the way they are nursing injured marine life back to health. Definitely more of a rescue center than an aquarium.

The different themes are engaging and fun, my children always teach me something new every time they come home! The summer camps are just as wonderful, packed with learning, activities and amazing teachers. Every week at the end of each summer session each child presents their work in a gallery type setting that the teachers put together, complete with beverages and snacks just like an Artist opening night! A great way to build your child's confidence making them proud of what they have achieved that week. Keep up the great work, it's great to see you grow!

I have been going to Jungle Gym for over a year now and it is a great place…read more Everyone is super nice and helpful and it really has a family feel. I started going there to train for OCR races and I ended up signing up with the gym to run around 5 of them so far. Ive also got a bunch of friends to start coming and even run some races too. I am very glad to have found this place and the community that comes along with it and recommend everyone come in a check them out!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the after school program at Tim McCahan.

Oh, this was such a fun night!…read more My friend had been here before. She has a long history of knowing fun places-and I happily followed her here. It was everything I hoped for and more. It's so colorful and cheerful inside. You can feel the creativity flowing and gelling. Inspo is everywhere. The staff were so welcoming and supportive-especially to someone who still paints like an elementary school kid (that would be me). We paid $10 for the special ghouls night out session... but I've heard you can do walk ins, too. There are shelves full of all sorts of figures and plates and other pottery to choose from. The prices are on the bottom-and that covers the paint and the firing. My friend and I had a table to ourselves-and could spread out our snacks and drinks (they had cupcakes, cookies and small cans of soda available but you can also byob and foods. We brought charcuterie items, champagne and pumpkin doughnuts). It was such a relaxing and happy experience-painting, snacking and chatting. The staff checks on you. You can also go ask for more paint at any time. My spider won't win any awards-but he sure was fun to decorate! I can't wait to see how he'll look after firing. I'm told the colors will darken. It should be ready for pickup in about a week. I'm told they have art classes, day camps and summer camps and that you can hold parties here. It's fun for all ages and I may bring my mom, sister and niece here for some three generation bonding. It's a comfortable space with lots of easy parking available. I'm already looking forward to going back. See you there?!

My daughters love to play and do art with them. The classes are greatly structured for children in their specific age groups. The instructors give information about the child's physical development needs and why they are working on those (this part to me is incredibly helpful for new parents). We come here often enough that we have made friends with our classmates and the instructors. Shout out to Jordan for a wonderful time. Thanks for letting us hangout with you at rompys house.

The staff were super attentive and so incredibly kind to the kids as well as the parents.

And kids need a liiiiiittle more transition time than was typically given. HOWEVER- this might have been with the parents asked for. Clean!

Edit-The reviewer below is correct...it is a field trip/camp destination, but shouldn't be listed under museums if it is not open to the public. When some friends were in town, we looked up things to do and this came up. We went there and were told that it wasn't open to the public. We asked when we could come back and were told they were only open to the public once a month for a movie night but you can't go to the second floor. I just want to warn people here that it is not a place you can just go to like every other museum.

It is a family owned studio where you instantly become one of the family upon joining in the fun.

You will make life long friends here and will find that the owner Dru Rabin, manager Jennifer Michelle Bell, and instructors like Maddie Willett will nurture and develop your child's confidence and individual strengths in every way.
