Absolutely incredible space, people, and business. We just had my daughter's third birthday here…read moreand they went above and beyond-- and the kids were SO happy. To start: they were wonderful with communication before the party, with sending photos and info about the space. On the day of her party, I showed up and immediately a team of people started coming outside to bring in all of our supplies. I forgot to assemble a lot of the decorations, yet they didn't bat an eye. They started making flowers and butterflies, putting down table cloths, connecting the slideshow, and putting up decorations. They put out all of our food and beverages, and started playing with my two kids while we waited. Absolutely amazing help. During the party, the team at APEX was incredible. They planned fun activities for the kids and really met them on their level. Some of the children were jumping on the coaches as if they were best friends-- that's the kind of love they were giving. And by the end of the party, the coaches knew almost every child's name. I'm the mom and still had to question myself with names, yet they addressed every child by their name. Truly, just a very gifted and involved group of people. They are professionals in the truest sense. We are moving across the country in a few weeks, otherwise I'd immediately book my son's birthday party here. And we've done it all- soft play in our back yard, a children's museum in SM, a ball and bounce place in SM, and playgrounds, but APEX made my daughter's birthday party so special that we'd do it a thousand times over. Thank you for the wonderful memories, APEX!

From start to finish, everything was handled for us--setup, organization, and all the little details--so we could actually relax and enjoy the day. The space was clean , fun, and perfectly run.

If you're looking for a place that truly takes care of everything and delivers a seamless birthday party, this is it. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you Bryan, Simon, Negar and the ENTIRE staff were DELIGHTFUL to work with.

My sister and I had been searching for a good birthday party spot on this side of town for a while,…read moreand Fun Play World did not disappoint. We booked it for my niece's birthday and it was such a great experience. What I really appreciated was that everything was discussed beforehand, all the package details, the rules, what to expect on the day. Nothing was left unclear, so by the time the party started there was zero confusion. It made the whole experience so much smoother. The kids had an absolute blast, the staff was warm and accommodating, and the facility is clean and just a really fun space to be in. We actually came back separately for open play and enjoyed that just as much. Whether you're coming for a birthday party or just open play, both are absolutely worth it. Definitely making this our go-to spot!

I brought my 10-month-old here on a Saturday hoping to see the infant play area. There's a sign…read morethat says it's for 2 years and below but some parents of older children were letting them play and some of them were so rough and almost falling or stepping on my baby. We took breaks leaving the soft play area but I wish someone was there to remind parents of the age group intended for the soft play area especially since the rest of the museum is open to the older children. This was the only section truly available for babies. I also wish there was staff wiping down the area more often or at least have sanitizing wipes available outside of the play area, especially since babies drool and spit up. I was there for 2 hours and didn't see any staff tidying up or wiping the area down. Some of the soft play sections were separated too where there would be small open spaces revealing the concrete underneath which was a little disappointing because it didn't feel so safe. The gate to close the section off kept opening up too. Aside from the issues above, my baby enjoyed himself. The soft play area is honestly small but I imagine it looks huge from my baby's perspective. There's a mirror, lots of hills and steps, and there's a little slide. He loved every second of it. He also loved the installation on the ceiling above the soft play area. Parking in the garage is free for 90 minutes I believe and it's right next to the museum. The staff at the desk are kind. You leave your strollers at the lobby in front of the front desk. There's several restrooms and there's a nursing/quiet room with 2 rocking chairs facing each other. I wish there was a privacy screen or something though because I was just nursing in front of a stranger and I would have felt more comfortable if we weren't directly facing each other haha. The rest of the museum was great. Lots of sections for older children to run around.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience left our family extremely disappointed…read more We were visiting the children's museum, when my husband, who is a Santa Monica police officer and assigned to the area, stopped by to say hello while actively on duty and in full uniform. He entered the museum without issue, and staff allowed him inside. At no point was any "no weapons" policy explained to him. While there, the interaction between my husband and the children was honestly so heartwarming. Kids flocked to him, excited to meet a real police officer. He handed out stickers, took photos with children who asked, and created such a positive, sweet moment for families and kids. It was one of those genuinely special interactions that helps children feel safe and build positive relationships with law enforcement. Unfortunately, that moment was completely ruined when a manager approached and told him he had to leave because he was carrying his service weapon, despite being an on-duty officer in full uniform. Had this policy been clearly communicated at entry, that would have been one thing. Instead, he was allowed in, warmly engaging with families and children, only to be asked to leave afterward in a way that felt unnecessary and upsetting. I respect that businesses can have policies, but the inconsistency and lack of communication were disappointing. More than anything, it was sad to see such a positive interaction for children abruptly cut short. Experiences like these matter because children benefit from positive relationships with the people who serve their communities, whether that's police officers, firefighters, mail carriers, or other public servants. Those everyday interactions help kids feel connected, safe, and familiar with the people they see in their neighborhoods. What should have been a lovely memory and a meaningful community moment for my kids turned into an uncomfortable and disappointing experience for our family.

The good: Parking is easy here. There were many beautiful…read moreblooming trees with pink flowers. There was a soccer field with great modern turf. There's a sand area but most of the playground has the bouncy ground. There are picnic tables and benches. The park is really spacious with a wide range of playground equipment made for wheelchairs and with disabilities. It has a toddler area tactile and musical playground equipment. There's a zip line. There's a lot of shaded areas. There's a boat, space ship, tunnel, slides, rolling metal slide, balance beams shaped like balls, and so much more. It's a super inclusive playground with a diverse group of patrons as well. The bad: The parking lot had some cars that looked like people were living out of their car. There was a pee stench at the entrance. Toward the toddler area there was a guy smoking weed. The interesting: It has a LA theme with references to the observatory, freeway and more.

It's ok when there's enough lanes, otherwise not a great experience…read more Most of the swimmers here tend to be on the older side, or just very slow/beginners. This makes it frustrating when it's crowded, and there are designated lanes for medium-fast swimmers, but they're taken up by slow/beginner swimmers. Had to wait around for 10 minutes until there was space. Needs to be a better of way of controlling/managing the lanes so that different swim levels can swim without the pool being completely overrun by slow swimmers, making it harder for other levels to enjoy the pool space.

The girl in the front refused to let him in if he didn't wear them. Unfortunately I had to leave with my son crying. I can't come back to this place .
