    I really enjoyed my outing here with my two toddlers. We came right at noon when they opened on a…read moreTuesday to avoid the crowd. I was fortunate to find a code so admission was free but I had pay to feed the animals which was reasonably priced. However with little ones we ran through those tokens so fast because they were overly excited once they realized they could feed the fish ducks and goat. The goats are where most of our time was spent lol. You can pay $20 or 10 tokens to hold animals in different locations. There's a gift shop in the back which I was thankful it was tucked away and not having to walk through it while leaving so tantrums were avoided. Like other reviews yes it's fairly warm but I just figured it's to keep the animals comfortable and I dealt with it, it didn't make or break my experience just bring some water with you. Also yes the smell as soon as you walk in punches you in your nose but you go nose blind after awhile. Every staff member from the front desk to those walking around has awesome customer service interacting with My kids and I and explaining what they were doing with the animals. We will definitely be back soon!

    Hot and smells. SeaQuest is located at Stonecrest Mall. We arrived at 1 and the line was pretty…read morelong. The smell coming from the farm animals really just hits you right in the face when you enter. I wore a cardigan over a tank top and was sweating. There's so many people and very little air conditioning. Yikes. You can smell everyone's body odor. I purchased my tickets online and received my wrist bands. We also bought 15 tokens for about $32 so my kids can interact with the animals. It's cheaper to buy from the token machines inside. Save your money, don't get tokens at all. The amount of animal feed you get is very little. I'm talking about 1 tsp size. Like 2 pebbles for the farm animals, but I understand why they do this. The animals are getting feed all day long. Our first stop was to feed the catfishes. When I say there is a lot of people. There was A LOT of people. I feel like the SeaQuest was really understaffed. Parents were allowing their kids to run around in the turtle inclosure. There was no staff in sight. Poor thing was getting chased by kids. Same thing for the iguana. The only animal interaction my kids enjoyed was the parakeets. It was 1 token per person and you spend about 2-5 mins inside. I would not come back and do not recommend.

    I threw a party here for my 6-year-old and want to share some observations, the good with the…read morenot-so-good. let's start with the positive: Boomerang is super-well laid out, with tons of different play areas for the little ones. the private-party rooms are also neat, giving events a feeling of intimacy--where kids can run in and out of the party room and the play areas. I also really enjoyed how Boomerang customizes the party atmosphere with photos projected on the screen, although the practice of bringing a thumb drive is antiquated and should be updated to facilitate emailed or uploaded photos. What was odd for me is Boomerang's policy of "not bringing in outside food" when the staff apparently orders from outside sources like a pizza place. If that's the stated policy, how about giving guests the option of ordering from a specific place they favor? alternatively, having a number of "preferred vendors" might be a way to give party-throwers more of a choice. I got the impression, which was wrong, that Boomerang had some sort of in-house kitchen service, which I understand adds an added layer of complexity to any business. For our party, the pizza joint delivery was late and we had to wait for the food to arrive. The staff at Boomerang was really nice, and I felt bad for our room attendant who seemed overworked and stressed. I tipped her $40 to try and thank her for the effort. With some pointed areas of improvement, all-in-all I'm VERY glad we have Boomerang as a resource to work out "the wiggles" of our kids.

    I threw my 2 year old's birthday party here and honestly didn't have a great experience. The party…read morewas overpriced and the options were limited. I paid to have a character impersonator attend the party and had to pay an additional entry fee for that person. They played the wrong song for my child's intro and when I notified our rep, the manager made excuses rather than just apologize. We were paired with an inexperienced party rep who couldn't answer any of my questions and we had to ask for all of the items that were supposed to be included with our reservation because they weren't in the room at the time of the party. The party room is only reserved for an hour. They rushed us and didn't account for the time wasted on the errors caused by them. Definitely wouldn't book this place for another party but if you're looking for a toddler-accessible indoor playground, this place isn't bad.

    For anyone who has kiddos that need to release some energy, TKT Playtime is the place!!! i…read moreabsolutely hate crowds, so i tend to get tickets for 10am and 11am. We've been to other bouncy house places before, and this is a great one in terms of: 1. Cleanliness - best to arrive early before too many kids and parties get underway. 2. Size - adequately sized bouncy areas and a small arcade. For my baby girl, she can jump in a small toddler area; while my 3- and 5 -year-olds can run up and down the bigger, more extensive bounce area. 3. Variety - when my kids get tired of bouncing, they love the arcade games - basketball, motorcycle racing, Jurassic Park, and car racing. My only complaint is that you can't get your money back if you don't use up a set amount on your Arcade card. I usually hand it to another parent for their kids to use, but there should be a way to return your arcade card and recoup the money that was placed on it.

    Mannnn I been coming here since the beginning surprised I never left a review because when I say…read morethe staff here is so incredible, they are truly down to earth incredible people from the owner down to the staff everyone is always helpful and I don't give bias reviews my daughter has had a party here and I have no complaints about it her 5th birthday was here and we had a ball also but just on the regular this place is definitely much needed in the community thank you TKT for thinking about the kids in this area and neighborhood you are appreciated. And khaliah was very helpful today appreciate her tremendously

We did order a chicken tenders meal at the restaurant and it was really good! They have twisted fries that are delicious! My granddaughter and I both ate off the plate it was that much! Great adventure for the family and schools! Down side be careful of purchases at the gift shop . Its over priced and they may or may not work! We purchased a $9.00 bubble giraffe gun it did not work and when I called they stated to bring it back with receipt for refund! I live over an hour away and it's an inconvenience they didn't care to be courteous to provide a refund automatically. Please check your items before you leave!!

Our students and staff were treated poorly from the moment we arrived. We were delayed because staff had not reviewed our payment information, our group was given only one safari bus instead of two, students were told they could not purchase concessions, and the overall tone from staff was unwelcoming and dismissive. Most concerning was a staff member's inappropriate comment: "...since you all are not paying for everything anyway." This was especially upsetting because this was the last elementary school field trip for many of our students, and it should have been a memorable, positive experience. We expected much better customer service and professionalism.

    I had my nephews for the weekend and I needed something to do that was relatively inexpensive but…read morestill fun. I stumbled upon HippoHopp thanks to Groupon. A pass for two for $15! And they had WiFi so I could work while they played?? Sold! Parking was easy. They don't share their lot with any other business. The space is a decent size , with bounce houses and air hockey. The staff was younger, and not really engaged. Similar to what other Yelpers reported, but that wasn't a big deal since I wasn't hosting a party and I honestly didn't need anything besides the WiFi password. They had a space to order food even though I didn't see anyone there and their bathrooms were pretty clean. Overall, my nephews had fun and it's an option to consider if I need to do something last minute and inexpensive.

    You just pay for the child and can buy tickets online for the specific day (no time limit), but…read morecheck if there's a Groupon deal going because it could be even cheaper than the online ticket prices. You will still need to use the Groupon to buy the ticket in advance online though and buying tickets online involves filling out a waiver form. My toddler isn't quite 2 yet and took a bit to warm up to this space even though we came on a weekday morning with what seemed like mostly nannies and kids. Not too busy but the inflatables were a bit intimidating for my little one and then she eventually warmed up. There's an infant area too but I would have loved to see some pretend play like a toy kitchen. It's a really affordable play area though and there's no limit to how long you can stay, so you can eat there and I even saw massage chairs haha

    Have you been adulting a little too hard lately?…read more Do you want to bring back some childhood memories? Do you want the fun and excitement without the guilt of feeling childish? Skyline Park is the place for you! After 8 PM it's adults ONLY, and it's a blast! Enjoyable carnival games, an exhilarating metal slide, mini golf, and this little pulley-type sky ride. (PLEASE skip arm day, this will be your workout) I've come to this location several times and thoroughly enjoyed myself every time. Recently I decided to bring my parents, and they loved it. They have not felt so free and young in so long, and they allowed themselves to tap back in. Enjoy themselves and take a ride down memory lane. All while enjoying Breathtaking views of the city. Intoxicating glee and positive vibes. I highly recommend Skyline Park! Don't overthink it, just do! If I haven't convinced you yet. I have I mentioned that its budget friendly? Access to the rooftop is $15. It's a short elevator ride up. (Sometimes they give you the history of the building in the elevator itself, not always, but they should ask about that) For an additional 15 bucks, you will receive unlimited games. For a whopping total of $30 to have the time of your life. Also, the drinks are fantastic. They have two bars on the rooftop. Did I mention that the drinks are reasonably priced? They do have a bar where you can customize your drinks, and a walk-up window where they have preset drinks and your favorite carnival foods Please note: During the winter months, they do have an ice-skating rink! In adults' paradise! Listen, you don't have to take my word for it. Experience it for yourself and then come back and like my recommendation!!! Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Signing out the biggest adult child you'll ever meet.

The secret to avoid…read morepaying the entrance fee to get to the top is to make a dinner reservation at the restaurant or a reservation at the secret bar up top called 12 cocktail bar which is what we did. You then have access to all of the included games and activities including ski ball and roller skating! Great views and a good time all around.
