I would definitely recommend this place for just a random weekend outing or for a birthday…read morecelebration! We booked a super party to celebrate my son's 3rd birthday and were pretty happy with the experience over all. Booking was easy and came with 2 pizza's and 10 capri sun's or water for up to 10 children. We added on 3 additional pizza's, chicken tenders, honey BBQ wings, which were more like boneless nuggets that were flat but delicious, and 4 four liter sodas. The food was really good. I'm not sure exactly where it came from as they told us they are contracted with multiple vendors but it was good. They charge $100 to bring in outside food so if you're in between and do the math, it's worth it to just purchase through them! My baby thoroughly enjoyed his party and the adults enjoyed as well! The bubbles in the middle of the floor were a major hit while playing the Gracie's Corner "Happy Birthday"! My only critique is that the light floor was broken, which my child loves. Huge bummer! We had a great time, though! I was very happy with everything! All we had to bring was our cake, candles, and a lighter. The facility took care of everything else.

We visited Hyper Kidz and unfortunately, it was a disappointment. We came on a Wednesday after work…read moreand the place looked like a Saturday morning. The place felt unkempt and poorly maintained, and it was clear that the staff were just going through the motions. There was little energy, engagement, or care from anyone working. It didn't feel welcoming or safe enough for a return visit. This was our first and last time here. Icing on the cake- a male worker entered the girl's bathroom from a back entrance, no announcement, nothing. No, thank you.

I have grown up skating at this rink and have always loved it. From camps, to on ice practices and…read moregames, to now coaching, this place is filled with so many great memories. It is fun to attend Stevenson hockey games here, as well. And, it is nice with the turf option for local leagues, like Reisterstown Baseball. The rink is always fairly clean and the staff are friendly. I wish they would re-open the snack bar and have skate sharpening, but otherwise, Reisterstown Sportsplex has, and always will be, a second home to me.

The rink itself is beautiful. A warning to skaters who want to participate in freestyle sessions:…read moreFreestyle sessions are not open skate sessions. Skaters need to have earned the LTS USA Free Skate 3 rewards patch or they will be denied service. Again, freestyle sessions are not open skate sessions, I get that. I started skating again after being off the ice for years because of work and caregiving. I lost everything and I'm trying to get everything back. Slowly I'm getting things back. No coin- operated lockers were there when I went to the rink in 2020. There was no designated waiting area besides the parking lot in 2020. No pro shop with a qualified, experienced figure skate technician in 2020. Hope the rink has those things it didn't have in 2020.

I think it's worth it because you are invited to other events. They do such a great job with recuses an if I go 4 times it pays for my membership. Thanks for what you do to all the staff

What a treasure!

All the staff are incredibly knowledgeable about all of the animals in their care. A standout was Nick, who shared the backstory of the gibbons, the sloth, and others, we learned so much from him in just a few minutes! They are currently seeking status that will allow them to apply for grants, and they have a donation box to help them improve/increase one of the bear enclosures. If you can visit, definitely do so. If you can donate, so much the better!

My inner 12 year old enjoyed visiting the museum. It is located in the Ronald Reagan Building…read more Metro is close by. The museum has a few play/learning areas outside of the building. It is one of the few museums that charges a fee (just like The Bible Museum, Spy Museum & Museum of Illusions). All are worth a visit for different reasons.

Luckily the two times we have visited we haven't had to pay for tickets (free museum days). I'm…read morebaffled as to how this can be the children's museum of DC!! For starters this place is so unkept, it's so incredibly dirty and the bathrooms are gross. I truly wonder if they ever clean this place? We visited 2 years ago and again this weekend, and I can tell they haven't updated a single thing. Including the nasty pom poms that have clearly seen better days and cost 2 cents a piece. This is the weirdest children's museum I have ever been to. Not even sure what the target age group is. They have like half of an exhibition appropriate for each different age group. The exhibitions are not cool, barely entertaining, half of them are broke or barely work, they are all dirty as can be. And the museum overall is tiny! I feel bad for the people that pay to visit this place. This was definitely the last time we visited, even with free tickets. Every single Smithsonian museum is 100000x better than this, and they are all free. So save your time and money and visit any of them, I'm sure your kids will be more entertained there and at least they won't catch a nasty virus from playing in this dirty place.

I do not expect perfection and we are ready for all the germs but this place was filthy. I've been a preschool teacher for many years. I understand how quickly kids areas can get messy but this was unacceptable. Even the front area where you take off shoes looked like it had never been wiped down. Super disappointed and won't be back.

I'm sure that going during the off-season did not help this, but it still was not up to par. for the prices you pay for the games there needs to be a faster system. It took forever to process the tap cards. It seemed like their network was a little slow. This place could really be a nice escape if things were a little bit more up-to-date and paid attention to.

I recently attended a yoga retreat at Pearlstone Center. The meeting room where we practiced was…read morenice, with a window wall overlooking a beautiful view. However, the carpet was filthy, and clearly had not been vacuumed, even though the staff must have known we would spend all our time in that room on the floor. Several of us had immediate allergic reactions to whatever was in the carpet, and I spent the rest of the weekend on benedryl. We stayed in the Fidler's Grove cabins, and I was extremely disappointed with our accommodations. Our "kitchenette with microwave and mini fridge" consisted of a tiny fridge sitting on the floor in the hallway. It was so small we couldn't even fit our water bottles in it. That was it. No microwave, no kitchenette. The room I slept in had no heat, on a night when the temperature dropped into the 20s. We had a difficult time figuring out how to operate the heater because the instructions posted on the wall were not for that particular heating unit. Slats of the mini-blinds were twisted and broken. The sitting area was functional, but depressing. I would call the cabin overall very spartan and barracks-like. We requested a vegetarian menu, which we received. We were also welcome to choose from the buffet. With a couple of notable exceptions, the food ranged from mediocre to inedible, the main problem being that none of the cooked food was actually hot. The hummus that was provided to us as a snack was excellent, as was the whitefish we had with our dinner on Saturday night, but that did not make up for the food that was served to us the rest of the weekend. I won't go back.

Just attended a conference here last week. I was impressed with the Center from beginning to end…read more Of note: the "budget" sleeping quarters reminded me of a mountain-set chalet, with all wood interior, its own kitchen with stove and refrigerator, a reasonably large bathroom, a living room/lounge area, and more than enough clean towels. Really more than I expected. There is also an organic farm attached to the retreat center with vegetable rows, chickens, ducks, and goats. They served some produce from the farm at a couple of the meals. And the meals were also impressive, with mostly vegetarian options and the occasional high quality meat. And there were always refreshments available for those moments when you need a snack. The conference facilities themselves were also beautiful, from the large open hall on the first floor to the smaller meeting rooms to the ample rocking chairs on the porch around the main building. Not to mention that the center is surrounded by forests, streams, and a pond. Yep, it was epic.
