The staff was also lovely. The gentleman helped my daughter feel comfortable going up and down the ladder to enter a space which I am thankful for. The price included admission of a parent which I feel like is rare but appreciate it! And they had a sibling rate at a small discount which is also very nice. The kids cannot wait to come back!

My son and I visited on a Saturday afternoon for the 4:10 PM playtime and the place center was…read morealmost empty. Everything was clean and he had a great time. The place is geared for children under age 10 and I think that's accurate because he's 8 1/2 and was able to still have fun. The music is geared towards preschool children, however. The location was easily accessible, and the check-in process was seamless. If you have a little one and want them to stay busy during school breaks and weekends then this is the place to bring them. I appreciated that during my entire time here I didn't have to worry about safety once.

I'd be able to calmly focus on work knowing my kids were safely in front of me. Additionally, this great concept wouldn't be complete if there wasn't a fabulous cafe inside. I did try a few drinks and found most of them a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but the UBE latte totally met my needs. Smooth, flavorful, and not super sweet. I would go back just for that. I also felt the pricing was quite fair. Id probably opt to come her over Starbucks.

I've been looking forward to taking my daughter here for awhile since it's local but I think we've…read morebeen to too many play places by now because I was sadly not tooo impressed by this place mostly because I was surprised how small it was. We paid $26 for 2 hours open play which included a $11 game card - however, that card got us barely any games and I knew instantly if I didn't slow things down we were going to be done with this place in less than a halfhour. We dragged out some time on the indoor playground which definitely had some nice climbing areas and slides.. but before you know it, we're back at the games! We still had fun though especially due to the playground but on a summer day I was thinking eh maybe we should have just gone to a park's playground if this was going to be the best part.. Our favorite game was a unique skeeball one they had and the claw machine. The bounce house was fine it was nice it had a basketball hoop but not much more than that. They had a toddler section with toys but my 5 year old daughter seemed a little old for it or had a lot of those toys- definitely good for younger ones though like siblings. I wasn't a fan of everyone having to take their shoes off.. especially adults I would have figured could keep them on. I'm guessing they would make you buy socks if you didn't bring any due to sandals. At least they had cubbies. I feel like I could see a birthday party being fun here so maybe that would be a different perspective. When we went, it happened to be us and just 2 other families so it was pretty quiet. Oh speaking of parties.. it took awhile for us to finally be able to book here for open play because we were always looking for a weekend and usually they reserve morning blocks for parties (leaving open play times like late afternoon 3/4/5pm. We were hoping for earlier slots to open up at some point but no luck. It is nice that this place is located in the town of Bellmore so you can walk to other places within the town before/after for food, coffee, even a movie, etc.

I attended my nephew's 4th birthday yesterday and I was extremely disappointed in all aspects of…read morethis venue. From management to the employees that are supposed to be professional and accommodating were none the less anything but that. They were very rude and disrespectful to my family and brother's friends. This party was 2 hours and was very costly. Upon the 2 hour mark, the guests were being rushed to leave, basically being told to get out, party is over. My brother offered to pay an extra 30 minutes and was told "NO" rudely by the manager. Then was charged a late fee on his credit card. Of which, will be disputed as fraud. We were there an extra 10 minutes!! My brother generously tipped these rude people and one of them said it was NOT enough. It should be more. My sister in law made the dessert herself and the food was brought in my her mom. So this venue did nothing except rush the guests and made what was supposed to be a VERY HAPPY occasion for my nephew an uncomfortable one. I do not recommend and will not return. Except a dispute from my credit card. You need to evaluate the people you hire. Disgrace.

To be clear the only reason I am giving this review 2 stars is because the employee that was…read morepresent at the time of our party did everything within her power to help our party go smoothly. Today I had my son's first birthday party at this soft play. I was really looking forward to it because of the fantastic reviews I read. When we showed up, the singular employee present told us that the photographer we opted for as an add on had called out sick and wouldn't be there. I mentioned that the owner didn't let me know about this- she said she was told to let me know when I got there. I had absolutely no time to make plans for an alternative to capturing photos and had to rely on guests and the single employee running the party. The tables and high chair all needed to be wiped down, and half of the decorations I dropped off ahead of time were not up. I'll say that's probably due to there not being adequate staffing. My issue here is with how the owner is running this business. If I had employees call out sick last minute I certainly wouldn't leave one employee (with 2 days experience by the by) floundering, trying to manage a party of 30 adults and 10 kids by themselves. I also certainly wouldn't leave it to that employee to break bad news to a customer. So unprofessional. I also feel that the food was not charged accurately- the catering menu for Gino's shows the price of a full tray of caesar salad for $60 + $27 x 3 for 3 additional pizzas ($81) + 3 foot italian hero at $17/foot ($51) = $192 + $17.04 tax + $10 tip (I saw this handed to the delivery driver) = $219.04. The line item for the food on the invoice was $277. $57 extra for what? Due to there only being one employee we ended up needing an additional half hour of party time to have birthday cake, which was provided free of charge and I do appreciate that. The kids had a nice time and the catering food was good. But overall, I paid a premium expecting to have to do no work and felt my mother and I did about half the work anyway.

The only thing we felt was missing was a bit more space for older kids who enjoy climbing, crawling, and more active play.

The parking lot can be limited depending how busy the collective businesses are. In the front for check in there are cubbies for your shoes and you can leave your personal items there. I wouldn't recommend leaving anything super valuable since they are not locked cubbies. Make sure to wear and have your kiddos wear socks. They also sell small snacks and drinks. There are several stations fit in the play area for the kids to play. There are two trampolines, two slides, a digital game that you can interact with, a giant ball pit area, pretend play shopping and dress up, a mini merry go round, a bus and small playground crawl and slide. I did like how well padded the area is. The employees did go around multiple times through the session to wipe down areas with antibacterial wipes kids were not playing in. The two big slides were nice since you have plenty of room to slide down with your child. Overall it was a nice facility that has a lot of potential. I think if they have a few cubbies with a locked up section, that would be nice for those people who have important items. So I would give it a 3.5 starts.

However, my experience at the end left me disappointed. One of the main reasons I chose the magical theme was the bubble dance because my daughter absolutely loves bubbles and playing with them. I know it may sound like a small thing, but for me it was an important part of her birthday celebration. I was waiting for them to ask us when we are ready becoz it's part of magical theme. When everyone finished eating, I asked if they could do the bubble dance. I was told they didn't have time. What frustrated me was that we still had about 15 minutes left in the party time that I had paid for. We spent around $1,500 for a 2-hour party, and it felt like they were already rushing to wrap everything up and close out the event. They eventually did it, but it felt very rushed and like the bare minimum effort. I wasn't asking for extra time or anything beyond what was included. Sometimes it's the small gestures that make customers feel valued. Instead, it felt very business-focused, with no willingness to go a little above and beyond. As a parent, I was looking at it from an emotional perspective because it was my daughter's birthday, and that moment meant something to us. That disappointment instantly changed my mood. Again, nothing was outrageously bad, and nobody was rude. The venue is nice, and kids will have fun there. But the way the ending was handled left a negative impression otherwise loved birthday decor. My daughter had fun that's all it mattered at end.

My daughter was not old enough to participate in the classes before the grand opening however we are just at the age to begin taking classes there. We took our first class this past Sunday and booked the 45 minute educational class and 45 minute open play. It was so easy to see the available classes and open play online and to see the theme each week. We booked in for the Dino class and arrived a few minutes early. For parking, you can park on Main Street for street parking (free) or utilize the CVS lot across the street. First impressions, the Schoolhouse Play & Cafe, was bright, light and airy. It was SO clean and you can tell each aspect of the play & cafe was so intentionally thought out and purposeful. I was so appreciatively of it also being a shoeless place. There were little cubbies to place your shoes and also coat racks to hang purses, bags or jackets. We were greeted by Miss Anna and Miss Dana. I loved how there were two instructors for the class and how they assisted each other throughout the class. It flowed very seamlessly. Since it was Dino week, the class incorporated different stories, activities, crafts with dinosaurs. I also appreciated the intention behind the lesson planning for the class. Some classes you can go to you are not sure what you are doing and this was complete opposite. There were instructions but also the ability for the little ones to be little ones and have movement, play and seated tasks. After the great lesson, we were welcomed into the open play space. It was so beautiful - even prettier than instragram. Even though it's brand new, you can tell it's a clean space and well maintained. I am extra appreciative of that because of all the germs, you can feel safe here with the cleanliness. My little one is a little past one and I felt the open play was great for her. There were so many new things to interact with without feeling overloaded and also peers ranging close to her age. I loved our first experience with Schoolhouse Play and Cafe and look forward to many more ahead! Highly recommend checking this place out with your little one(s)!!!!
