The…read moreteachers/coaches are strict, sometimes stern, but they clearly love the kids, and you can see it in their faces when a child succeeds at something. I especially like Carol who worked so well with my son who has some physical delays and required extra time and energy. She was amazing. Tough but loving. And my son LOVES her. My boys were both premature, so they had some core strength issues, and I saw a huge improvement over six months thanks to the classes here. We've been coming to straddles for more than a year now, and my boys love it, and I love the physical and behavioral changes I have seen in them. It has been one of the better experiences I have had with any kind of organized, physical activities. Thumbs up. Big time.

They take care of everything: tablecloths, decor, suggested we get pizza from Posa Posa (discount when you mention Tumble-Bee and have them deliver there). The pizza was surprisingly good/delicious for our crew that included the most discerning of NYC pizza snobs. Everything was simple and straightforward, which is what we parents really needed. We made sure to thank and tip the staff who set up, engaged with our tumbling children, and cleaned (with some help from us). Thoroughly pleasant and easy experience. We would do another event with them

Instead of letting me have a mat or do it into the pit, they gave up trying to teach me.

My daughter has been a cheerleader since she was 5 years old, starting at a less reputable gym... the bright spot was the coaching of Kristina and Tope.

Wow!! I can't stop…read morethinking about what a wonderful day today was, and it's all thanks to the great people at Kids U. We celebrated my son's 3rd birthday here today and what could normally be a stressful day for most parents, ended up being such a breeze!! From the start, before the big day, communication was clear and we were given exact pricing. I went in a few weeks before the big day and the manager (?) was kind enough to give me a tour and a rundown of exactly how the time would be spent. For the first half hour, the kids have free range of the jungle gym area, that reminded me of Discovery Zone from my youth. The next half hour was spent in a separate room that had trampolines, rock walls, swings, bubbles, balls...it was kid heaven. Keep in mind our group had age ranges from 1 all the way to 11, and everyone seemed entertained! During the whole time the staff was super attentive and assisted any of the kids if they needed help. The last half hour we all moved to the food area that was decorated so beautifully, where everyone enjoyed the cake and food and again, the staff was super on point and handled everything. They served the kids food, they cut and served the cake, and they cleaned up when we were done! I can't reiterate enough how efficient the 3 women were! I 10/10 recommend Kids U for any birthday parties you may be considering. Thank you guys, so much!!

They have planned activities and utilize a good area of the floor including the foam pits, the rings, and mats. They have a private room just for the party to eat. There only down side is the aisle is narrow and the coat/shoe room is smack in the middle of the entry to a locker room. So you had children walking through while others are trying to get on/shoes.

Less than five minutes later a young woman comes up to us and tells us he's too young for the party and throws him at our feet. He's now upset and crying. If they did not plan on including my son, I would have never came. But this is a party for a preschooler. All the kids were 3, 4, and 5 years old. Not sure who management was expecting their audience to be. If they can't include all the kids, why are they even hosting kids parties? Also, they don't let the parents into the gymnasium. The signs are clear and we weren't given an option. The parents are corralled into a narrow corridor and it's hard to move around. I can only describe the gymnasium activities as chaotic. There isn't an area sectioned off for the party on the gym floor. There are other random customers practicing gymnastics where ever they want. They keep shooing the kids party away from the regular customers claiming the equipment is dangerous. I look around for management. No one is in the lobby where we checked in, I ask another coach who is in charge, she points at someone helping a student on the uneven bars. It appears there is no real management, only gymnasts. And it's clear gymnasts are prioritized over the party. I would definitely avoid if you are planning a party for a preschool aged kid or expect a modicum of management. Also, avoid if you don't want to fight with your wife all weekend because you left a party early because they wouldn't include your kid. There are more inclusive facilities in the area where the kids are allowed to play on the equipment with no randoms practicing while the party is going on.
