We visited with our two littles recently, for our first time…read more The place is very large and mostly clean. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and happy to help. This is a very religious establishment and they have religious music playing and some religious things on display. We paid for a weekend experience for two kiddos, which was more expensive than weekly play (which was anticipated). One adult was "free" because we have a little under 3 yrs. We opted for the all-day pass for $4 more each, under the impression we could leave and have dinner, then return. Then, we were asked if we wanted the Arrow's Active socks and we said "no" because we brought our own non grip socks. We were told Arrow's active socks are mandatory for all guests accessing the play area, and no outside socks were allowed. So we reluctantly agreed and purchased 3 for $3 each because we had no other choice. Also, since my husband was a spectator, he was an additional $5. After being charged, while our bands were being put on, we were told the all day pass is only good while in the establishment and if we leave for any period of time, our bands will be removed and we cannot return (unless it was extremely brief). I told the lady I would have liked to know that before because it's very very misleading. I've never bought an "all-day" pass where I was not allowed to come and go as I pleased and I would have liked to make a decision based on their rules, rather than what was advertised. I did not look at their food items nor cafe menu because we ate shortly before going, but the fountain drinks were from an Austin supplier who makes their soda with real ingredients, which I appreciate and love. My husband wanted to work while we played, but there were no outlets around the main seating area. There were staff spot cleaning inside the play area during play time. I'm not sure if they clean periodically throughout the day or if they clean x number of hours before close every day once a day. There was a bucket of solution a staff member was using to clean within the play area, which I can foresee being a problem if it spills for some reason, but she did hide it under an area near where she was cleaning, so she was being safe about it. Knowing they do clean is extremely comforting and very much appreciated. There are some very hard to reach places that were extremely dusty, but they weren't in reach, just in view. Restrooms were nice and clean. Overall kiddos had a lot of fun. Just be prepared to pay the up charge for the weekend (if visiting on a weekend), an up charge for mandatory socks ($3 each), an up charge for any spectators with you ($5 each), an up charge for all day play ($4 each pass) and remember you cannot leave and return on the same ticket purchase.

Just a 30 minute drive from San Antonio proper... a time was HAD!…read more Came to the city for a spring break vacation from Cali, saw this gem on TikTok. I loved how it had a cute and spacious area for toddlers. I went to ARs entertainment the day prior and would say that the area is comparable but with much less traffic. All members must purchase the company specific socks and you must sign waivers. They do sell food and drinks inside so you cannot bring your own, and unlike ARs there didn't seem to be any alcohol sold. My family of 4 plus a 11 month old went after lunch on a random Thursday and the place was pretty dead and perfect for exploration. The adults were free with the children , and the age considered a child is 12 or under. They also offered a military discount. The apparatus itself was cleans and massive ; it had high ceilings so that adults don't have to hunch over when accompanying their children. The jungle gym has so much variety ; the blue corkscrew slide is fast and my second favorite is the conveyor belt. I don't live here but I imagine a child's birthday party hosted her would be amazing! No RAGRETS!

The best part about it is that it's an indoor playground with ac. That's about it. The last few times we went over a span of this last year we have seen the foam mats warp (so kids trip over them), trash and crumbs (we go opening hours on Sundays so they aren't cleaning before opening or at closing the previous day. Wall paint in bathrooms are peeling away. Most of the games at the arcade are not functioning properly, are out of order or haven't been maintained. I'm not even going to mention the ticket distribution and prizes. The last time we went, I noticed the casing on the toddler swing toy was completely gone. I mentioned it to the staff and was met with, " there's nothing we can do about it now". While that can be true, you could convey some kind of acknowledgement, apology or genuine concern versus irritation. Eventually staff went and did their best to remedy that particular situation. There's also an area for foam balls to fly out of a machine for kids to play and they were filled with the plastic ball put ones so it wasn't really working. I brought it up to staff and they just shrugged it off and said kids take them and so they are probably all around the place in ball pits. (Again we came at opening). So that particular area doesnt really function as intended, because it has a drop down basket for the foam balls and cannons to shoot the balls from. Overall it is just looking more run down each time we have gone and by this point it seems like it wasn't accidental. It's a shame because I have fond memories going when my oldest was a baby and that's why I don't give it a lower rating.

My kids really thought the indoor go-karts were exciting. Admission came to roughly $24/per child after taxes and it included two adults free of entry, which I appreciated. You can purchase a Play Card separately to add tokens to the card for access to activities like the kiddie go-karts or the few game stations they have pepper inside the facility. One thing I really liked is that once you pay for your admission and come in, you can leave and re-enter as many times as needed. Just keep your receipt and show them at the front when you return and they will let you back in, which is super helpful if you need a break or have to step out for a bit. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel overly chaotic. It felt like all the kids were engulfed in fun. They also have a station to purchase beverages like juice boxes, apple sauce and soft drinks and small snacks for convenience. The environment felt safe and families were respectful and attentive to their kids. Overall it was a good experience and we would come back again.

Jay was absolutely amazing and so patient. Her knife took about 2 hrs to make and we had such a great time it felt like 20 minutes. He had great stories and kept us engaged. He communicated clearly with rules, expectations, and what each step was that she had to work on next. He had us laughing so much. Vic was another brother that was great. He kept my youngest, 9 yr old, engaged and had her complete attention. He was patient and helped her stand correctly and how to hold the hammer. And he had to repeat himself many times but never lost patience with her. He showed us how to make different nail swords and let her help too. This is a family business and honestly it is a must for any visitors, tourist, or even Texans that never see what's around them (like us!). I totally recommend bringing your family or friends. We won't regret it and you'll go home with a unique gift that you made yourself.

The highlight of the night happened when my daughter took a bite of her pizza... and lost her tooth right there at the table! The staff kindly gave her a cute little container to keep it safe. Later, when we stepped away to play games, our table was accidentally cleared and the tooth was thrown away. When we told a Cici's employee what happened, they didn't hesitate for a second. Owen went above and beyond and literally dug through the trash to find my daughter's tooth -- and he found it! The kindness, patience, and genuine care shown in that moment meant so much to us. Because of the great food, fun environment, and truly outstanding customer service, I am more than happy to give this place five stars. Thank you, Owen, for turning a stressful moment into a story we'll never forget!
