Went here for my birthday around 2 years ago. Very fun time! Friends of mine came their brothers…read moreand sisters came etc. The play area was mass-ive. I'm talking the McDonald's play places all over again. For the toddler area, it was decent. Some 3-4 year olds played in it and the whole time it was a blast for them. I don't fully remember all of it but I think a little small corner had some Arcade games to play. The party room was pretty nice. Big enough for an enjoyable time.

Every time I bring my kids here, they have a good time and are tired afterwards which is great! The…read moredownside is that the place is a little dark for my taste.

My baby boy had a blast. And his friends did as well. And it worked out well for us that we had the party on a Sunday because we ended up having the whole venue to ourselves. It was absolutely perfect and I would highly recommend! We are looking forward to coming here again for my playtime!

It's like a little town, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles that make it perfect for the little ones. The owners are personable and clearly prioritize children's health, safety, and customer service. They were constantly walking around to check in on us, which made the experience even better. I can't recommend this place enough for families with young children. It's a small, Black-owned business--so please support them so they can keep their doors open and continue to grow!

As a working parent of a toddler, I really wish more places like this existed! I was able to bring…read moremy daughter here to play, with supervision, while I got some work done and had a coffee on a day my nanny was not available. My daughter had so much fun with the employees and other kiddos! I opted to sit downstairs which is louder, but there is a quiet work/study space upstairs for additional cost. Before we left I also ordered food to go from Shorty's Deluxe. Childcare and food all in one Highly recommend Mulberry Lane for all the parents!

My fam travels a lot and we noticed play cafes in many other areas but not the DMV. It's clearly…read moremuch needed but we get why they aren't really here. But Mulberry Lane is a notch above bc not only is it a play cafe but there is staff there to watch your lils while you get to go elsewhere within the building whether that's in the lil tables visibly nearby or in one of their neighboring and partnering restaurants. I'd toootally get my kids memberships if we lived nearby. Since we probably would only go weekends for an hour or two, I'm glad there are the options for one time pay or multi hour passes for future use. Since we weren't sure if we'd be back, we gave it a try for one hour. Prices may change but our first time was $18 per child per hour. This may seem high for only one hour, but my kids had fun and my hour without worrying about them or being interrupted was very productive so it was worth it. Staff are friendly. I only wished they had gluten free options for the kiddos to enjoy after their play. Guess we can bring our own next time! :)

We just had our third but LAST birthday party at this venue. In the past we have had a great…read moreexperience but yesterday I was extremely disappointed!! We arrived and the party room smelled AWFUL- like the party before us was a full on weed party. I was stunned and freaking out. All of my closest friends with their sweet kiddos were about to arrive and we would all be stuffed in this tiny room of stench. the party host noticed right away and offered to try air freshener and I said yes and asked for the manager. The manager came over. I asked her....how can a birthday party at a venue for little children be filled with...this? I was appalled at her response. First she said, maam, weed is legal in Virginia. Ok in that case why don't we go ahead and also allow parties to serve alcohol and smoke cigarettes. THIS IS A CHILDRENS PLAY AREA! Who cares if it's legal! How is that relevant to my concern!? Then she quickly backtracked saying of course they weren't smoking in here, they must have just smoked outside and it was just on their persons when they entered. Ummmm no. The entire room REEKS. She refused to do anything for us other than offer to mop (but we're all in socks...no thanks). Later they took $6 off my balance and gave me three day pass vouchers (I've always gotten these in the past after large parties). Did nothing to offer any kind of discount. I told them that I would sadly have to give a one star review and the response was just...shrug. Awful. Not returning and don't recommend this for birthdays anymore.

From the moment we walked in, everything was spotless--the entrance, bathrooms, and play areas were all incredibly clean and well maintained. The entire facility is thoughtfully designed and very well organized. A special shoutout to Cora and the kitchen staff, who were absolutely amazing! Since it was our first visit, Cora took the time to walk us through the layout and answer all of our questions. The food was fresh, delicious, and exceeded our expectations. As an added bonus, they have Wi-Fi! I was able to get some work done while my toddler had a blast playing. Highly recommend this place--we'll definitely be coming here from now on!

During the event, as I was gathering my belongings and waiting for guests, Cora repeatedly…read morepressured us to leave, even threatening to call the police if we did not comply. Her insistence created an incredibly stressful environment, which made it difficult for us to enjoy the occasion. When I was addressed by the wrong name, which is traditionally male, I found this further added to the discomfort and confusion. 2. Inappropriate Behavior: Cora's approach to managing the facility raised significant concerns. She often interacted directly with the children rather than their parents, attempting to remove them from certain play areas without appropriate communication. This not only caused distress for the kids but also negatively affected the overall atmosphere of the event. 3. Concern for Staff Stability: Cora's behavior seemed erratic and unprofessional, leading me to question her suitability for a role that involves overseeing a facility frequented by children. There have been multiple complaints about her in the review section, yet management continues to retain her despite the concerns raised. 4. Lack of Cleanliness and Misinformation: The venue was not cleaned adequately until we requested it several times, and we received conflicting information throughout the event regarding our package details and restrictions. The pizza we got were half burned and soaked in oil just gross

I'm now a Romp n' Roll vet and wanted to update my review to reflect my experience. I have been…read morearound the toddler play gym circuit and I am truly a fan of this location due to it's varied activities, top notch birthday parties, and flexibility to meet the needs of many families. First off, the instructors and front desk are absolutely fantastic. They pay attention to the children, make moving your body fun, and are easy to chat with when you have questions. Many of the same staff is the same from when the business opened over a year ago which says a lot about the business itself. Flexiblity: I have attended cooking classes, art classes, movement classes, and parents' morning out classes here and all were fantastic. Our preschool was even able to organize a private multi-hour class date here when we were closed for a teacher workday. Parents could leave or stay, or even do some work in the warm and welcoming. lobby. Birthday Parties: I love the fact that booking a private party gives you use of the gym and party room so you can really spread out. The lobby has toys and tables which allows for a really natural transitional time between each activity which is a nice touch. Now that summer is here, I will definitely drop in one of their classes. We are lucky to have a spot like this so close to us.

It was definitely over-crowded and quite hard to find a table to sit down. We eventually found one right at the back of the store. The kids had the best time but scramble employees were no where to be found! There was no one monitoring kids. My kid got hurt a few times by slightly older kids and it was quite chaotic. The staff were not cleaning at all. You have to remove your shoes before entering the play area but the toilets are located inside the play designated area which means you have to go into the bathroom with socks on which is very gross. They should allow shoes in the bathroom area. Also the soap dispensers were empty and the lady that cleans the bathroom just hung out in the bathroom not really cleaning or filling the soap. The cafe - there are food options for kids and adults. We did try the kids pizza and French fries. The pizza was fine( cheese) but the fries were not good. It tasted like they fried it in very old oil. They do have coffee but I did not try it as the didn't have an option for skim milk. They do not allow outside food or drink but no one seems to really monitor that. Security - ok so this is non-existent. There is a door that divides outside area with inside play area but kids can easily open the door and leave the premises. The lady that stands by the door doesn't monitor kids matches with their guardians. She just opens and closes the door and often she is not there at all. They do not give wristbands at all or any form of security feature. So watch your kids closely while you are there as once they go into that massive play area it's difficult to locate them. The kids seemed to enjoy it as they don't worry about germs , dirt or food. I mean it's fine for an hour or so but honestly it was the last resort when deciding on a place to take the kids too. They also charge the adults an entry fee!!! ‍ I mean it's not like we are playing in the kids areas . I think we paid $55 for entry (2 kids and 2 adults). Would I go back? Not by choice but if the kids asked then I would consider it for an hour or two. ( definitely not on a weekend though).

I had a very disappointing experience today at the Falls Church location of Scramble Indoor Play…read more As a regular customer, I've always had positive experiences here, which is why today's visit was so surprising. We waited at the front desk for quite a long time with no staff present. Eventually, a staff member named Annaia saw us but appeared to be walking away until I called her over. When she finally assisted us, her attitude was very rude and impatient. Her manner was abrupt and unprofessional. When I mentioned that we had been waiting for a long time, she simply responded that they were "very busy," in a dismissive tone, without any apology or acknowledgment. I understand that things can get busy, but basic courtesy and respect toward customers should always be maintained. This was the first time I've encountered such poor service here, and it was quite disappointing given my past experiences. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving customer service to prevent this from happening again.

It is one of the few indoor play places that genuinely works for that range of ages. The younger kids love the climbing structures and slides, and our 10 year old never feels bored.

Everything was organized, smooth, and low stress. Elif, our host, was excellent. She was warm, attentive, and completely on top of the details from start to finish. She kept the party moving, helped with setup and transitions, and made sure the kids felt celebrated. It made such a difference to have someone so thoughtful and capable guiding the experience. We already loved coming here for regular play, and now we can confidently say their birthday parties are just as great. Highly recommend for both everyday fun and special celebrations.

Compared to other indoor playgrounds we've been to in Atlanta, this one is on the smaller side. Once the party time is over, you're asked to leave (you have color coded wristbands). Other places we've visited usually allow kids to keep playing afterward, though those facilities were much larger. There were multiple birthdays happening, so I guess it makes sense to flip rooms and avoid having too many kids. Kids were putting balloons in their mouths and I didn't see anyone sanitize them? I didn't see a designated spot to place items that may need cleaning.

It's not just about academics; it's about connection. The events are incredible, LEGO Night was a huge hit, and the Living History Museum brought so much excitement and learning to life. Watching our son graduate from the kindergarten program here was an unforgettable moment for our family. If you're considering homeschool support or just want to be part of a place where kids are celebrated and parents are supported this is it. Imaginarium is a gem
