    The middle course
    Helen L.

    It's cheaper to get tickets from Groupon than buying directly from them. I got the 1hour voucher and felt like that was plenty of time. Sign the waiver before you check in tho. During check in, they'll ask if you would like to buy their sock so you can go into the inflatable obstacle course area (it's optional if you buy it, but entrance include both the regular and inflatable course). There's free lockers to use to put your belonging and shoes. The regular course included 5 different course. Start from the left and difficulty increases as you go to the right. This is such a workout, but fun. Some areas are def harder than others. The staff was super friendly and nice and made sure everyone was safe. The inflatable course was a bit on the easier side (it's made for kids). There's climbing stairs, slides, and rock climbing. The bathroom is also pretty clean!

    We went to the Ninja on New Years today because they had a deal that was too good to pass up: $5 for 60 min. They also have a winter deal running now for $10 for 90 min. There is a parent pass for $3.99 those accompanying kids under 8 but this wasn't available with the special deals. Normal prices are $23.99 for 60 min ($21.99 online) and $29.99 for 90 min ($26.99 online). So definitely always book online first instead of at the park and check for any running promos. Grip socks from Funparx are required for the inflatable for $3.50 per person and they have a lot of sizes to match your shoe size. These socks are different from other grip socks we have because the grip is at the front and very strong. We booked in the morning for a group of 6 and by lunchtime, timeslots from 12-3 were sold out. We were given information on the best /closest place to park. Booking online, we could fill out our waivers first online so that we could be ready for check-in and getting socks as soon as we arrived. There are 3 computers to fill out waivers there if you didn't do so beforehand. The person checking us in was very helpful at explaining things and friendly. There is a long row of free lockers right when you walk in for you to put your purse/wallet/jackets etc. A few of the lockers were not working. Don't put your shoes in there because after you walk in, there are shelves for your shoes by the inflatable section and you can also leave your water bottle there for easy access while playing. Since my son almost 4 years old, I was wondering how much of the courses he could do. It was very pleasantly surprised. As long as there is an adult with him, he could do all of the inflatable area. And he can even go through the ninja warrior area with a parent to lift him through. There isn't anything too dangerous for young ones even though they're on the same course as everyone. The ninja course area is 5 different courses parallel with each other. Other people there was good about waiting in line and waiting for others to pass through if they needed more time. We all had such a blast! Within 15 minutes we were all soaked in sweat. It really is fun for all ages - whether you are just bouncing around on the inflatable or trying to get through a certain section of the course. There isn't much air circulation / airflow there so it's very hot and stuffy. Hopefully that could be improved. There was one section of the course that wasn't working but it was clearly marked. Also when booking online, it says there will be a safety briefing 3-5 minutes before the start of the session but we didn't get one or see where it is. There wasn't a person to check our wristbands upon entering or at the end of your time because there is a long wait at the check-in area. It does require some time to check-in with multiple large groups in front of you so give yourself plenty of time by arriving early before your timeslot. I would love to go again next time using the parent pass (2 max per family)!

    We recently celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday at FunParx, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! The kids had a blast--especially on the obstacle courses and the inflatables. It was the perfect balance of safe, high-energy fun that kept everyone entertained the entire time. The communication with the FunParx staff was excellent, both before and during the party. Booking was incredibly easy and the whole process felt smooth and organized. I really appreciated being able to use the push cart to transport all of our things to and from the car--it made setup and cleanup so much easier. They even stored our cake in the fridge for us, which was a huge help. The staff deserve a special shout-out for being so friendly, patient, and professional. They were always nearby, ready to assist and offer support whenever needed. Alyssa was amazing--so kind and helpful in planning the party and answering all my questions. She went above and beyond by surprising my daughter with the sweetest capybara plush to match her party theme. It truly made my daughter's day even more special. Joy was also fantastic! She helped serve the guests, played games with the kids, and even handed out coupons at the end of the party for their next visit. FunParx's flexibility, accommodations, and attention to detail made the whole experience less stressful and enjoyable. The cost was a great value for what we received. We left feeling so grateful and impressed. Overall, it was a fantastic celebration with exceptional customer service and memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

    This was a really fun experience to do with a group of friends or for a date! I'm 5'3 and felt like some of the portions of the course was hard to do since I wasn't tall enough. But nonetheless it was still fun! We booked a 1 hour time slot and finished within an 45 min. We arrived before the 7pm slot, which is the last slot before closing!

    Love this place!! So clean, affordable and such a fun time for the kids! If you are going to get a membership anywhere for your child this is the place!! Even the food is affordably priced. All the employees are great and helpful as well!!

    Great experience for my kids especially my daughter who had her birthday there with 10 of her friends. It's very clean and the people who work there are very nice. Get the party package if you want something easy yet, fun and enjoyable for everyone and any age.

    Super fun activity for kids and adults! At first I felt a bit uncomfortable because there were a lot of kids. But after a while you learn that you are all there to have fun and to try something new. They had quite a number of children there but the obstacles vary by difficulty. They had some workers on the floor to provide support or to cheer us on. These courses were no joke! I posted videos to show how difficult they could be. They offered a one or two hour option but honestly one hour is enough! You are doing a lot of physical activity so you will sweat and get tired! I think we were on the active floor for about 35 minutes. They have about 5 obstacle courses at different levels. I was able to complete the first one but the last one was super challenging and I could not complete it. They also had a large bounce house with slides and obstacles where you had to climb.  There was a sign in the front that said it is cheaper online but I could not find an individual ticket or for a party of two. If you look online they offer memberships or party packages only.  In person I purchased the one hour for 2 people + grip socks which cost a total $46.96. I highly recommend bringing water and taking breaks when you need them and to stretch! They play a quick tutorial video before you start so you know the dos and don't. They have a lot of lockers available for free to store your items and if you don't know how to use them you can ask the workers there.  It is located in Mainplace Mall on the side near Macy's where parking is free. I took my little cousin to try it out and we would like to take friends/ family there too! It is a great place to celebrate a birthday with their large seating area or to do a physical activity.

    Fun for kids and adults alike!!! We came in on a Sunday afternoon, and it felt like equal parts adults and kids using the courses. Definitely more kids in the "bouncy" obstacle area and adults on the rest of them it seemed. These courses are no joke! As many other reviews stated, my partner and I got 90 minute passes but could barely last an hour! We both felt that this was a great workout. It was fun and challenging. The sense of accomplishment we both felt finally getting a course after trying a few times was unmatched. We're already planning to come back. I will echo what some other reviewers said and say watch out for kids! Signs state only one person on a course at a time, but that wasn't the case. Some small kids were weaving in and out, so stay alert! I saw on the TVs there that the third Thursday evening of each month is adults only -- would be fun to check out!

    I would love to have my son's birthday party here but I see no outside food is allowed? Is that correct? How do you keep adults entertained while the kids play? Your menu is limited and there's not even fruit or vegetables on there. It seems silly

    They've recently changed rules so that you can bring outside food as long as it's not something they have in their cafe for $50. Kids play for an hour; it's not long for adults to hang out and watch the kids and chat.

    Is it just for kids? Any teen or adult obstacle courses?

    They're for all ages. The courses are challenging at any fitness level I think.

    5 hour session but 1 hour is definitely plenty of time to do both the obstacle course and the bounce house.

When my 5 year old tried to go into the smaller kid area (ages 4 and under) she was asked to leave by the female teenage employee at the entrance. This was at the same time that a 10 year old girl had been playing in there the past 20-30 minutes. When my daughter came to me crying I tried to walk her in there thinking it must not be a big deal because there were a few big kids in there, who looked to be around ages 8-10. I was surprised to be turned away by that same employee (while the other big kids were still in there). So confusing! I pointed this out and she said "that girl is sitting" (she had been hanging all over the merry go round just minutes before, which is right next to where she was standing at the entrance) and then the employee said "she also has a little brother here" (he looked about 4 or 5). So then I said "okay so can my daughter stay because my 2 year old wants to play in here" she then told us no and blocked us from entering. I went to the front desk and told that girl about the situation and she got the manager. He explained that it's for safety WHICH I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND - but then take out the other big kids so it's not confusing for anyone! He finally did have the bigger kids removed, and there were about 4-5 other way bigger kids than my daughter. It felt like we were being singled out by the staff here. They said they asked the other people to leave the area but they "didn't listen." Lol. So people like me and my daughter who listened were the only ones removed I guess. I guess you can just act like you don't understand and you get to break the rules, even if the rules are there for everyone else's "safety." This could be a learning opportunity for the staff here but you can go find out for yourself. I wanted to avoid this word but it truly felt like discrimination based on us being the only family removed. We won't be returning.

Probably work for those parents I see that let their kids run loose and they're just sitting on their phone but for parents like myself and my husband, we really can only handle about an hour at this place. Make sure you wear socks or you can also pay $3 to buy some. The place is clean from the looks of it.

Secondly, this place is dirty, it looks like no one takes care of it. I mean they had the workers going around with the sanitizer spray but was literally spraying the air. Floor mats were dirty. There's an area outside of the enclosure where they are just storing random things, clutter and dusty. Maintenance people can walk by and there's an opening from the play area where anyone from the back just go in. I think it's not safe. From the outside, it looks big and clean but when you get inside, it feels icky and pretty small. Thirdly, for the price it wasn't worth it. Any child will have fun here, but as a parent I'm disappointed in the cleanliness, convenience of the bathroom and safety issues especially at the price point. Will not recommend to other families and will most likely not come back.

Usually as a mom, you're taking photos, setting up plates, arranging food, lighting candles, and herding children. I DIDN'T DO ANY OF IT and I am SO SO SO grateful!!! Yes, I still woke up at 2am making sure the car was packed and checking everything off my list, but once we arrived, I didn't have to worry about a single thing during the actual party. Thank you, Lei and team! Everything was exactly as stated in the emails and texts. NOTHING was forgotten. We got the Treasure Package, so we had an hour in the Aquarium Room, an hour in the Beach Ball Room, and then lunch for an hour. My son had the best 6th birthday party, and all of his friends had an amazing time too! The team was thoughtful, kind, organized, and communicated clearly throughout the entire party. The setup was beautiful, and not having to clean up afterward was AMAZING. If you want true white glove service, come to Seascapes. They will not disappoint.

    I learned of this place through my daughter's summer camp. I sort of liked that it wasn't that…read moreknown for day to day play. The owners are so sweet, very welcoming, helpful and sounded very passionate about their place. They did share that their business was first primarily to host kod's borthday parties, they have so many differwnt packages and options. Can't wait to host my daughter's birthday there. Play area is huge, not so crowded on a Friday afternoon- just enough to see many kids having fun. I really like two things mostly, there are cameras all around with screens facing right where parents can sit and chill while wayching over their kids. Finding the place was easy and so was parking. I wish they open on weekends too!

    The kids LOVED this place. Central to groceries, shopping centers and restaurants, it was…read moreconvenient to go to an indoor playground during this heatwave with the ability for Ins & Outs. We got there around 12p and left after 2 hours to grab a quick snack and boba. Then we headed back showing them our receipt for reentry. Stayed for another 1.5 hrs. If I didn't make them leave, I'm afraid they will pass out from exhaustion. This place was big and had so much to do! I thoroughly enjoyed the slides and my son enjoyed the go-cart bikes they had. Those cost extra by the way, you can get a play card in the front. There's a separate area for toddlers too. The kids were having so much fun with all the obstacle courses. I liked that the different sections and levels had different things to do so they were never bored. The only thing I would say is the A/C needs to kick up a bit because it was hot and humid when the place got packed after lunch. Or maybe industrial fan for circulation because we were all sweating .

    don't typically leave negative reviews, but I feel other parents should know about our experience…read more I have always hosted my daughters' birthday parties at home. This year, I wanted to do something different and give myself a break from all the planning, setup, cleanup, and stress. I chose Kids Empire after attending another birthday party here that was so well done. I expected to have that same experience, but unfortunately, ours was the complete opposite. We hosted our daughter's 5th birthday on Thursday, July 11, with about 40 guests. I dropped off our balloons, cake, and drinks ahead of time and was told I didn't need to arrive early because everything would be set up. Thankfully, I did anyway because almost nothing had been put out except the tablecloths, cups, and Kids Empire's drinks. I ended up setting everything up myself. The biggest concern was safety. Both restrooms were closed due to plumbing issues, forcing our guests to walk to Target just to use the restroom. Meanwhile, the back exit door was left wide open for the plumber with no employee monitoring it. Parents from my party stood by the door because we were worried children could accidentally walk outside. When we expressed our concerns, the only response was, "It's open for the plumber." Our party package included seven pizzas, but Kids Empire forgot to order them. We didn't find out until we asked where they were around 6:30. The pizzas didn't arrive until 7:40--after our party had ended--so I ended up giving away full pizza boxes for families to take home. We were also told the dragon mascot would come out, but instead of interacting with the kids, it was only a rushed photo before we were hurried along. I will say the local manager was kind, empathetic, and did everything she could to help. Tried offering free passes to come back. She followed up with me and escalated everything to the regional manager. Unfortunately, the overall handling of the situation still left me disappointed. When the regional manager took away the passes to come back. I chose to have the party here so I could relax and enjoy my daughter's special day instead of worrying about the details. Instead, I found myself handling many of the things I paid the venue to take care of while dealing with issues that should never happen at a children's party. Sadly, I can't recommend hosting a birthday party here. Many parents at our party told me it was their first time visiting Kids Empire, and after everything they witnessed, several said they wouldn't be coming back. Unfortunately, I won't be referring anyone here either.
