It is more than just a facility; it is a center of Oasis Leadership where the youth are being mentored with genuine accountability and care. ​From their dance classes to their broader community initiatives, the staff at Vary are doing wonderful things to empower the next generation. They are building the "social architecture" of our neighborhood one student at a time. If you want a program that truly invests in your child's growth and the community's future, this is the place. Thank you for your dedication!

This pool is truly my happy place.

They have several different memberships depending on what you're looking for. The staff and instructors are all amazing. You can tell that they love being in the water and sharing that love with others. The pool, deck area, and locker rooms are always clean and well maintained. There are plenty of lockers (bring your own lock) and showers in the locker rooms. The pool and locker rooms are in the basement level under the Courtyard by Marriott hotel. There are plenty of signs to help you find it, and an elevator down to that level makes it accessible. You need a code to get in the building entrance, a staff member buzzes you into the Fitness Alive area, and then you need another code to get inside the locker rooms, so the location is very secure. They also have a South Philly location that offers swimming lessons if you're not near Center City.

The swings, the toddler sized playground equipment, the see saw and all the random used toys people leave here for kids to use is perfect for us. Outside of the toddler area is a huge space for bigger kids. Here they can climb on the ropes, spin, slide, swing, play in the grass, watch the doggies run around in the dog park, play basketball, play tennis and even get wet in the sprinklers when the weather gets warm. Who doesn't love a park with so many options!?! Why 4 stars? My only complaint is the mountains/flooring in the toddler area. It's pretty ripped up and unsafe for little kiddos in the corner area. Lots of falling and tripping happens and it could easily be avoided with a quick patch up. Other than that, this park is a favorite for me!

Dual location review: Fairmount and Queen Village…read more Philly Art Center has been part of my daughter's life since 4 years old (almost 10 now). I called the Art Center in Fairmount (it was only one location at that point) and spoke to Ms. Jill, explained that my daughter was a new 4 and I was concerned about leaving her. She nicely told me get over it and I would be fine (of course she didn't say that), she reassured me that she would be safe and have fun..after the first class, my daughter was hooked; it doesn't hurt that they get to color on the mirrors in the studio. Throughout the years my daughter has taken numerous classes at the Fairmount and Queen Village Centers, in addition to "Date Night", which you drop your child off for a couple hours and pick them up, I believe around 10pm; they feed them, they go to the gym, and of course do art. Not only are they doing art, the children learn about artists and how and why things are done. I believe the regular classes were about 90 minutes for children. There are general art classes but most of them have a theme or time period that they focus on; one of her favorite classes was pottery. Numerous adult classes and birthday parties are also offered. Recently my daughter started back at the Art Center for drop-in camp. Seeing Ms. Jill for the first time in years was the highlight of our day. While she is the owner, she is fully invested in the children and it shows by how much my daughter loves her! For camp, the campers get creative so it is recommended your child comes in play clothes and sneakers because the do go to the park; before-care and after-care is available. Over the years, due to scheduling conflicts we were unable to attend regularly, but anytime I hear someone talk about their children loving art, I always recommended the Art Center! Ms. Jill and her staff are amazing, now with an addition location in Cherry Hill, NJ! You go girl!!!
