We loved going to this museum. We made it a stop on our road trip from NYC to OBX and it was the…read moreperfect place to stop and have the kids explore for a few hours. I would say leave yourself 2ish+ hrs to see and explore everything. Our kids are 4 and 1.5 years old and they both had so much fun. Make sure you buy your tickets online ahead of time. We used our AAA discount. Exhibits include a "pet vet," music space, big fire truck, library, exercise room and market. My one critique would be for the market to be better stocked/ restocked periodically. We go to a local museum where the kid's market closes a few times a day for them to "reset." This could have used a "reset." Overall it was a lot of fun!

They have about 5-7 tables of attractions where you can sit and solve puzzles, build, draw and experiment. Other than that they had a prop supermarket, bank, fire station, library, train area and so much more!

On the weekends it's super busy and a little over stimulating but on the weekdays it's pretty perfect. I personally have to wear AirPods while I'm here because the music is blasted so loud. The staff is usually pretty friendly & consists mostly of high school or young aged employees. I'm a big supporter of their memberships. We can visit every single day with our yearly membership. If you're debating visiting this place, just give it a try. It's fun for all ages! I even love to jump myself + it's a fun workout!

This place is RIDICULOUS . So extremely overpriced. They completely take advantage of you if you…read moredon't buy a season pass (which is also a scam). Don't give them your money. They said 2 yr and under was free but then made me pay for an adult pass so my 1.5 year old could jump. The socks were $7 a piece (for 3 of us) . It cost me over $70 for two of my small kids to jump for 2 hours. INSANE. Go to another jump park in town that's half the price and frankly more fun.

We booked on their website, paid the party fee and received information for waivers to send to our party guests. The owners / employees sent us a reminder text to arrive 15-20 mins early to ensure a smooth game start. When we got there we were greeted and quickly organized the kiddos to watch the safety/guidance video. The owners were so nice and truly a pleasure to work with. The establishment was clean, and well taken care of. What I love about TagTime is when the kids are playing laser tag you the whole side of the playing field is open with chain link fence so you can watch a lot of their fun & get great pics! The party room was already set with plates napkins and cups ! We were given a cart to take our cake and cookies :) - all in all we really enjoyed our visit and definitely will do it again! They also offer a military discount which is so nice! Thank you!

I brought my mini me here to have a play date with her cousin. Ended up having pizza, got my hair done numerous times in the Barbershop area and even built a prestige house before leaving. I'm talking about we had the construction zone on lock! You hear me!!!! Lol! One of the best things there is there Lactaction Room for nursing moms. Talk about exquisite! It was set up by a mother for sure. I took my daughter in there to use the changing table provided and actually had a minute to truly decompress. There are snacks laid out for the mothers who need a little nourishment to nurse. Superb Coffee flavors. I tried a caramel macchiato as well as the blueberry lemon and again, made with pure love. Super creamy and flavorful. Cant wait until my next visit!

Although the owner was closing up after a birthday party, he still took the time to show me around and talk to me about his establishment. He takes so much pride in this place, as it is kept up beautifully. I finally got around to bringing my kids here to play, and they had so much fun. They switch the layout around often so the kids can find new ways to play and have fun. There is an area for parents to sit down while you let your kids get their energies out. They also close late in the summer, which is fantastic.

Luckily, my bro had heard about splash parks in different states, and he found Portsmouth Splash Park (PSP) here in Hampton Roads. PSP is located on Elm and South in Portsmouth, and we decided to check it out. When we first drove by, we noticed there was no one around--no water running, no kids playing. I wondered if the place was closed, but then I saw two adults sitting on chairs. They were indeed open and we had the whole place to ourselves. The best part is it's free! When PSP opened 3 years ago, they charged $2 per person--which is still a bargain. It seemed that the turnout was low so they decided to do away with the fee. When you get to the desk, you will need to sign up and listen to the rules. Rule number one: no running! PSP has 15 interactive apparatus: giraffe, frog, dragon, crayon, flowers, pails, cattails, anchor and water blasters--fun and colorful. If you're planning to watch the kids instead of playing, there is no shade and no chairs, but there is a restroom. You are not allowed to bring in personal chairs and no food or drink (except water bottles--no glass please). PSP is clean, and a wonderful way to spend an hour or so during a hot summer day. Unfortunately, they are closed for the summer now--but bookmark this place for next year!

The bathroom was clean and the play area was also clean, with plenty of activities and toys to keep those on the spectrum entertained and engaged. I recommend it for younger children. Parking was also available.

Just 5 years ago they had a fantastic space that was torn out with the remodel of the mall. There is not much to say about the space. It's a long narrow designated area that is walled off for security. The colors are kid friendly and the pieces are softish to not injury the kids. My daughter was the last one to enjoy a few years ago, but we usually said no as these places are notoriously germ pits. If there is hand sanitizer at the entrance I've never seen it. This would be a good add. A PSA...parents watch your kids and abide by the rules of height to enter. Never leave your child unattended...yes it happens all the time. Place shoes in the storage area just inside the entrance. So why can I eek this to a 3? Because every time I pass by toddlers are having a great time running, jumping around and smiling. So I relinquish my rating to what it's really about...the kids. I'm not going crazy however. It's a very basic play area that's better than nothing. Furthermore the staff does keep it clean. If your children are desperate and you bathe them in hand sanitizer after a romp this is an ok place for youngsters to run out some energy. It's secure and clean so alrighty then a 3 it is I guess.
