This is…read morea small "land" but the theming is super cute and the merchandise that they have in the shop is pretty unique and great if you do like the franchise. There's a cafe, a small water park like attraction, the Minions Mayhem ride off to the side, a kiddie ride, some carnival games and the merchandise shop. You can meet a Minion near the Minions Mayhem ride entrance or you can do the photo op with the statues. I always make sure to take a picture with the little rubber ducky one. So cute. Short and quick visit if you don't have kiddos with you and just want to take a gander.

We LOVED Super Silly Fun Land…read more Great rides. Fun water play on a hot day (we usually end our day there so we don't have cold rides after). Watch out for kids that just sit on the water shooters!!! You have to wear shoes - so bring some water shoes!!! I can't believe I convinced Flavor Flav to go with us - he said it was not whack (but I sat on a water shooters and kept getting him).

We had 60 mins to navigate crumbling corridors, solve complex puzzles, decipher ancient clues, collect artifacts and find our way out while evading traps and uncovering the temple's legendary treasure. Room was of medium difficulty and not scary, with immersive details like hot stone surfaces, atmospheric sounds, maps, ropes, and a dry, adventurous environment that feels like exploring a real archaeological dig site or ancient temple. We successfully escaped the room with a minute and 32s left.

Jamar was extremely lowkey...and I feel like he opened doors for us that shouldn't have been opened for Avalanche because the story and puzzles didn't really fit together. The story was really cool.

How Do I Love Thee?…read more Let Me Count the Ways! 1 I originally reached out to them about a year ago just to inquire, and even during that first interaction, I was amazed by how incredible the customer service was. Whoever I spoke with not only shared great ideas but even sent me links for possible venues around Orange County! 2 Fast forward a year later -- we decided our daughter was finally old enough for her racing-themed birthday, and once again, the customer service was impeccable. I must've asked a thousand questions from day one, and every single one was answered promptly, with thoughtful adjustments for the cars and setup. 3 When the big day came, I panicked because the venue turned out smaller than I expected. But Pierre and his teammate -- our assigned instructors -- were absolutely amazing. They calmly helped us figure things out, adjusted as we went, and made everything run perfectly. They truly cared! They arrived right on time, were so efficient, and even my husband told me later that both instructors kept reminding him to make sure I ate something -- apparently, I looked like a hyper energizer bunny having a mini panic attack! 4 The setup and the event itself were wonderful. All the parents had fun, and the smaller venue actually worked in our favor -- no one was glued to their phones! Everyone interacted, laughed, and had a good old-fashioned time, just like the good old days. 5 Lastly, the finishing touches were perfect -- the short highlight reel they made after the event captured everything beautifully. Needless to say, if I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would! They're hands down the best when it comes to kids' parties -- creative, professional, and genuinely caring!

Sloomoo Institute Los Angeles was such a fun, unique, and genuinely joyful experience. My…read more23-year-old niece and I went together, and we were both completely entertained from start to finish. The entire space felt creative, colorful, and interactive, with so many hands-on activities, amazing slime textures, fun scents, and immersive areas to explore. It's one of those places where you can't help but laugh, relax, and enjoy yourself. What made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service from Peter, the manager. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and considerate throughout our visit. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome and had a great time, and his positive energy really added to the experience. It's clear he cares deeply about guests and takes pride in creating such a welcoming environment. If you're looking for something different, memorable, and genuinely fun to do in Los Angeles, I highly recommend Sloomoo Institute. Between the playful atmosphere and Peter's exceptional hospitality, this was an easy 5-star experience. We'll definitely be back!

It was okay overall. My daughter really enjoyed it since she loves slime, so that made it worth it…read more Some of the slime did seem a little old and kind of hard, like it hadn't been changed out in a while, which was a little disappointing. The staff were nice and helpful though, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a decent spot for kids, especially if they love slime, but I do wish the slime was fresher.

Great staff! Lovely place…read more Kids had plenty of fun playing! Thank you for a wonderful and clean experience

A friend of mine asked me if I would like to join her and her granddaughter to go to Candy Land…read moreIndoor Playground. I have never heard of this playground before, but I've passed by it numerous times. Never been there. I agreed and we went. We got there yesterday late afternoon/evening and I was more excited to get on those slides and other games that they had, than her granddaughter was. They only allow kids between the ages of 1 to 7. Thank God we qualified and were in that age group:-)) No, her granddaughter is 5, soon to be 6 in April. They have great staff, a lot of activities to do. Rebecca & Susanna were both very kind, patient, helpful and nice with everyone. Not only with the kids. They also have a small store where you can buy drinks and snacks. The place is spotless clean and very welcoming. I was watching other kids having so much fun with their parents/grandparents. Even made couple of friends. They also do events here and the cost of 3 different packages are pretty steep. So if you have some extra money to splurge for a birthday party or any other event... this is the place to go! Everything was pretty, pastel colors and the rest is up to you. Go try this place out and you will definitely go back whenever you want. Thank you Candy Land, staff for making this indoor playground a nice, safe environment where a kid can be a kid!:-) Restrooms and parking available.

Last week I felt the need to do something creative but with low stakes, and decided to indulge in a…read moreme date of paint-it-yourself pottery. The Color Me Mine in Beverly Hills was open on a Monday, and so I trekked out here to indulge my inner child. My *very* first job was at a Color Me Mine in Valencia in 2000, and it delights me that the franchises still look very much like they did back in the day. This location is clean and mostly well-equipped (they didn't have squeeze bottles for writing), and it was easy and straightforward to get started. The staff were friendly and helpful. I chose a cereal bowl (believe me, though, I was very tempted by the more whimsical ceramic pieces, such as the cat jar and the, uh, "beakers" :P ), and while I didn't originally have a design in mind, I was inspired by the tile wall to paint an ocean theme. I spent a few very pleasant hours glazing my bowl. I added a small ceramic boat and asked the staff (writing it in the notes on my slip) to glue it in the middle of the bowl. It turned out SO cute. And I will absolutely toot my own horn with the excellent glaze work :) Hehe

One for us cousins and one for my little sisters friends. It was pretty quiet in this location. Luckily we found parking right in front of the store. Although the selection of things to paint on were limited, they let us pour our own paint which was a plus! Definitely a fun place to go to and unleash your creativity and bond!

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!

On the party front, they're super easy to work with and bring so much fun stuff (giant obstacle courses that kept all the kids entertained for hours). My son really loved the camp, he had so much fun playing at the beach and thought all the coaches were great. The staff I think is what sets this business apart, they do a great job of recruiting energetic staff that seem to genuinely really like kids.
