It is very loud and a bit hard to hear but the ladies were able to work around that and had the plant cards for us to see. The people playing fowling were wild and looked like they were having so much fun. The food is really good!

Very clean and well lit facility. I'm sorry I didn't take more pictures. I didn't have time to try Fowling, but it looks like fun and it isn't very expensive. The owner says they are going to put some pickleball courts in as well. We needed something fun and different in downtown Minneapolis!

Will you get bumped and knocked around on the slides?, a little. Did it dampen our experience?, nope! There are maybe 14-15 slides, a kiddie area, 2 basketball courts, a dodgeball court and a zipline/swing area. Plenty to keep us occupied for a couple of hours. It was very busy, but we didn't wait more than a minute or two for our turn. Lots of seating options, a decent concession stand and an area for parties. We will definitely return!

We had a fun time here! I brought my 4yo nephew, my brother in law, and my 1.5yo niece here as a…read moregift to my nephew. Things to know: Doorbusting worked great for us! We got some time there before all the crowds arrived: after our first hour there, it started to get busy. I will say: this is borderline for 4yos. He was quite scared of how big the slides were so we didn't ride them until the second half of our time. You know your child best: if you think they might be scared, this probably isn't a good fit! The slides are REALLY tall - lots of stairs so be prepared! You have to buy the grippy socks they sell, you have to slide down face first on your stomach alone. Important to note that you won't be able to slide *with* your child if they're scared. I learned that if you as the adult aren't riding the slides, you don't have to buy a pass. That would make a huge difference and we'll skip the adult ticket next time! They have some stuff for kids under 4: a play area mainly. But again, better for older kids. Besides slides, they also have an arcade, bouncy ball courts, a zipline, and a swing into a foam pit. But definitely the highlight is the slides - they are quite a thrill! Best for adventurous and thrill-seeking kids!

I'm not sure if it was the mask or the vest or both but it smelled of previous body odor. It does get very hot while playing the game and there are some fans on the wall but they are only for certain effects and not on the whole game. The experience is very immersive with all of the gear you wear. It is surprisingly easy to keep your distance from other players and not run into the walls. Our game host Alex was very helpful and gave us good advice. Our host also helped quickly when my headset needed to be reset due to a glitch. The game itself was entertaining and easy to play. It wasn't too physically demanding so most age groups could enjoy themselves.

Four rides was 20.99. The average ride is around 4-5mins. A friend and I tried the 2 rides combo. We Went with the Carnival ride and Pirates ride. Before going into the ride room, you are given brief instructions on what to do and grab a 3-D glass to put on to view the rides. The room we went into had 2 rows and about 6-8 seats per row if I can recall. We then strap ourselves into a motion seat equipped with a laser blaster to fender enemy attack in the ride/game. It lets you compete against others in the same room and ranks 1st to last place in terms of game scores and shows in screen. It was a fun experience and is for all ages. Would like to come back and try other rides.

Price was fair: $30 for 180 credits (most games were between 4 and 10 credits). I loved that they had a gargantuan PAC Man game... what a throwback BUT, the place needed to be deeply cleaned, ac was not on (or at least it felt like that), employees were very unapproachable, & three games did not work (even though credits were taken). Won't be returning.

They have daily specials that are pretty good. Today I ordered the Super Salad with chicken. Came with kale, grains, raspberries, goat cheese, candied nuts, avocado, & figs. I ordered the dressing on the side. I added chicken for an extra $6. They have a lunch special where you can get a full size salad or sandwich and a side of vegetables like brussel sprouts or soup, plus a non-alcoholic drink for $20. Food was good but I felt like everything was on the sweet end. Service wasn't very attentive. We had to call our server for a few things, including to request our check. Bathroom is clean. This wasn't my first time coming here and I do recommend if you're in the area. If you can't find parking in the lot, the garage has plenty of space.

Could be SO much better…read more Just moved here from out of state recently. My 4-year old son misses his friends, so I wanted to take him to a place where he could play with other kids. I searched online for an inflatables place and was surprised there weren't more of them in the Northeast suburbs. Pump It Up wasn't too far, so we went there. My GPS took us right to the building, but I had to drive around a bit to find Pump It Up. It's in an office building complex and it's at the far end of the building. We went inside and the reception area is nice. They have a vending machine for snacks and before you go in, the parents and kids have to watch a safety video, which is short and helpful so everyone understands the rules. Then we are led to the rooms with the inflatables. The place seems clean, but it's too dark to really tell. I didn't think they were overstaffed today. There was one person at the front desk and two staff in the play area. They seemed attententive. One of them helped a boy find his family (because it was probably too dark in there for him to see). As Eva B. stated in her review, there are two rooms with inflatables and three inflatables in each room. Not a lot of variety. There weren't a lot of kids there, so over-crowding wasn't an issue. Each room is pretty dimly lit (think of a movie theater before the previews start). There are two very uncomfortable benches for parents to sit in each room. One room was pretty warm and the other was cool - they were connected by open doors so the kids could go from room to room. One of the rooms has an air hockey table that appeared to be free, although it was so crowded all the time, we didn't go over there to check it out. The inflatables places I'm used to going have tables for the parents and wi-fi access. They also have snack bars. You won't find those things here, I'm afraid. Some parents were even sitting on the floor because the benches are so uncomfortable. This place only has 4 open play sessions each week for only an hour and a half each. At $6, it seems pretty expensive. Still, we'll probably go back simply because of the lack of options. The staff is friendly and my son had a good time.

I've always been skeptical about expensive birthday parties for kids. However, after attending a…read moreparty at Pump It Up in Oakdale, I'm convinced that they are worth their value. The parking was very easy, pulled right up to the door, walked right it (moms with young kids know how nice this is, especially in snow & ice). The staff greeting us warmly, and showed up around, took my son's jacket and gear, and then the birthday present. We sat in a nice waiting area, watched a safety video, and then the kids got started jumping. I felt at ease for an hour chatting with other parents as we watched the kids, it was safe and so much fun for them. It wasn't crowded either.Then we all went into the party room, ate pizza and cake. The staff has the routine down like a well-oiled machine. They gave the kids friendly instructions and got them to participate during each transition, they even wrote down each gift and the gifter for the parents, so the parents could take pictures and watch the birthday girl enjoy. We ended exactly at 3:00 as it said on the invitation said. The airlines could take a few lessons from their staff: friendly, fun and on time. I had so much fun and so did my son that we've decided that it is worth the splurge to have his next party here.

The lanes are well maintained for an older building, and staff will come pretty quickly if there's ever an issue. The food is pretty good too - the chicken tenders and pizza are your typical Bowling Alley fare. A bit pricey, in my opinion, but most Bowling alleys have high food prices, so it's expected. Overall would recommend - usually less busy than other Bowling Centers in the cities, and you get friendly service, so it's our go- to for Bowling.
