I was pleasantly surprised at how many bounce houses they have, and they have a special one dedicated to toddlers. My nephew is 5 and loved their free arcade. We had about 20-25 people total and there was more than enough room. Included in the party package are tablecloths to match your theme and plates/utensils. I was sad that morning because there had been a mixup at Party City with my balloon order, so my daughter wouldn't have balloons at her party. The party theme was not super common, so I was already limited on decor. I showed up to find the room had been decorated with balloons and a sign to match my theme, which I was not expecting. It was so special. The owners really care about kids and making their day special! We will go back for sure.

The space is clean and has a few bonus amenities, like a baby bottle warmer and sink in the main area. There's about 10 small tables for kids and parents to sit at for lunch. The play equipment is perfect, with lots of different types of climbing surfaces, tunnels, slides, swinging things, and more. There is also a lovely area for smaller kiddos, a building area, and an open space with balls. There are also a bunch of cubbies to put your stuff in. Day passes are a bit steep but the monthly pass is a good deal if you think you'll come 3+ times a month. We will definitely be back! One recommendation - add wifi! Would be great for days when school is closed and parents want to get some work done.

It was imo overwhelmingly packed though, I'm not sure if there's a capacity limit or not here. Every table was taken and it did get chaotic.

You can even leave and come back later. Lots of fun options for kiddos. Playground, reading room, basketball area, soccer area, ninja area, toddler area, etc. They even have an area for you to eat (bring in food if you wish or they have vending machines). Clean up after yourself (please). Great option to get the wiggles out on a cold or snowy winter day!

There is so much to do - climbing, balancing, jumping etc. I wanted to leave a review especially to point out how accommodating they were. A child of ours was very nervous/anxious to come in due to the music inside (he is pretty sensitive to loud noise). One of the workers came over to us while we were waiting outside the main doors. He gave us wristbands and chatted for a bit. He said he could turn down the music so our child would be more comfortable. It was so kind and thoughtful! Thank you, Lava Island EP!

You can opt for a one-hour pass instead of an all-day pass, but they reserve the right to kick you out. They don't strictly enforce this rule, but it's more of an honor system. They do have some decent food options, including pizza and chicken tenders. Many people bring their own coffee, so I don't see why you couldn't bring your own lunch, if you're feeling discreet. There are also party rooms available for around $350 for a party, which doesn't include sodas and two large pizzas! Overall, this place is great for kids aged 3 to 12. I recommend arriving early, around noon, as the number of kids triples during that time. The place is very clean and spacious, with everything big enough for adults to help the kids if needed.

While I was checking in, she kept saying "mama go this way, there's swing sets there ! Wow!" Her amazement was priceless but even better was seeing her confidence grow while using some of the larger swing sets. Check in was quick and easy - just sign a waiver and pay the daily drop-in fee - $8. I think there's a punch card you can purchase so that the visits will be cheaper in the end. My daughter had so much fun this time that I think I'll have to purchase one for next time. There's a ton of different options here for open play - a basketball court with a smaller hoop that toddlers can reach, ping pong table, a room full of various sized swingsets, and 2 large trampolines. We were here for 2 hours and my daughter didn't want to leave ! She had so much fun and it was fun watching her. It's perfect for the winter months when you want an indoor play option and your child is feeling cooped up. They have a party room that can be used if the store is rented out. There is also a small lobby area and that's the only area where food and drink is allowed. Definitely bring snacks to eat there because your kids will get hungry! Plenty of bathrooms too - I think I counted 3 - so it's easy to wash those germs off. We will definitely be coming back.

My guess is the reason It costs a bit more than others is because it has certain features such as the mini car area, soccer area in the middle of the park, dance room etc. I do think for it to survive they should lower the price a few dollars, but it wasn't unreasonable for the value. If you have kids that want you to join and you aren't small sized the holes inside are a nightmare to navigate compared to other parks. My one complaint. All in all fun place, and would recommend.

Trying to be more intentional about exploring parks around Minneapolis this year, and Hidden Falls…read moreseemed like the perfect place to start. We usually default to Minnehaha Falls across the river, but I'd never actually explored this side--which looks to be really sprawling with new townhomes and modular single family homes. We parked near the dam and walked along the trail to reach the stairs leading down to Hidden Falls. Heads up: the walk down is a little precarious since there's no railing for most of the stairs, but it's not very steep and the trek itself is pretty short. The falls themselves were a bit disappointing at the moment--more of a trickle than a waterfall--but it is early in the season. That said, the forested park area it winds through was really nice, and made the visit worth it regardless. I can already tell this place is probably stunning in the summer when everything is green and flowing! Even with the lower water level, it was a great way to explore somewhere new and great to see there were so many people already exploring the park with it being chilly still!

Had some extra time to spare before an event nearby and it was reasonably nice outside (aka,…read moreforties in March lol), so I decided to take a hike around the lake. You won't manage to escape road noise really because it's surrounded on three sides by fairly busy roadways, but still better than nothing! It's not a long walk around, just about forty-five minutes worth at a leisurely pace. The park actually features two paved trails that run parallel to one another, with the outer ring for bicyclists and other wheeled conveyance usage, and on-foot folk on the inner ring. Dogs do need to be on leash. Occasional benches around the lake, and a cute man-made waterfall. There are a couple of gazebos near the parking lot for if you'd like to have a picnic. The bandshell structure was particularly impressive and neat. There are bathrooms built into the back of it, which were even open during off season, so that was highly appreciated. Water fountain was currently turned off though, unsurprisingly. Parking lot seemed a bit small, but perhaps most folks who visit are from the surrounding office buildings on their lunch break.

Fishing, Family Fun and Felines…read more Just kidding - don't go bringing your cat here. I just wrote "feline" because I was unable to think of another F word. And no I don't need you to provide me with another F word. TRAILS & FISHING The Kinnickinnic walking trails are pretty extensive and one of the entry points is here in Glen Park. Some of the trails are paved, but not all. I highly recommend for those who love to hike. The bluffs are beautiful and you'll see all kinds of wildlife and not a lot of people. Make sure you check out the historic swinging footbridge. It connects the back of the park and Cascade Street. Bring a camera - there's some great photo opportunities of the South Fork Rapids and the Kinni. Last summer I saw a couple of guys fishing beneath the bridge so I decided to bother them and in doing so I learned that the Kinni is loaded with trout! They asked me not to tell anyone but I can't be trusted with such things. Besides when I got home and excitedly announced it to my husband, he's like "No shit, everybody knows that." o_O FAMILY FUN I'm always surprised there aren't more families hanging here in the summer. There's an outdoor pool, basketball and tennis courts, horseshoe pits, picnic tables, places to grill and a lot of space to walk and play. DOGS This is one of my favorite places to bring the pups. Officially, leashes are required. But I usually luck out with nobody around, so I let them run. Be smart and carry a leash in case others show up. And for god's sake and all that is holy, please pick up after your dog. Crap-filled parks are no fun. LOCATION It's on the south end of town. Follow Main Street through town, go past the Dairy Queen (if you have more willpower than I do) down to Park Street and take a right. It's down a couple blocks on the right.
