I went to a "pop up " food bank of them today. They were…read morevery very rude, disrespectful AND unhelpful to me. I got nothing but a small bag of fried chicken! I needed fresh ground beef, turkey and chicken breasts. I politely asked for fresh meat. They had fresh meat and THEY FLATLY REFUSED to give me any!!! I argued with them of my financial struggles. And they rudely yelled at me and I told them off! And they told me not to come back anymore. I yelled at them in BOTH languages. I have complained to their bosses and I will go elsewhere for food! This place is WORTHLESS and so are these evil people!!! Not worth it! A good day to you all.

It's a rewarding feeling to help Foster children feel special with their care package we made.

There a little bar attached to it, you can purchase drinks through the window and soda. The bartenders were so nice . Been here for other family events, men and women restroom.

It's not a huge big hall , but it's amazing for small events, . The pictures were before we decorated it. We got to go look at the place to make sure it was enough space and John was so kind and friendly.

Child Creativity Lab takes donated every day items (Lego pieces, empty prescription containers, bottle caps, buttons, wine corks, new popsicle sticks as well as excess items from various companies (excess fabric, plastic bottles, paint, pins, tacks, glue, zippers, etc.) and they put them together in a package so that kids can assemble them them and create a figure like a robot or animal out of all the parts. Before COVID they used to have in house workshops, but now they take the party out to the kids in city community centers, schools, etc. My friend planned a service event here so I came over to help out for a couple of hours. All the parts for the project were laid out at various stations and we went down like an assembly line and filled bags with the items to create a project-in-a-bag for each child. If I was a kid in elementary school receiving a project bag like this to put together with other classmates, I would be totally stoked. If you are interested in donating common household items for them to use, give them a call to see what they do and don't take. You can also arrange to do a service event here with your organization, they have people come in every week to help out. We need more places like this in all communities!

The toddler really loved the sandbox area, the train area, the painting area, and especially the market which it has a Trader Joe's one. Everything was fairly clean and it was a good time.

We went on a WEEKDAY at opening and the place was already overcrowded. I counted at least 3 different schools occupying the area at the same time. Areas then become packed and our kids become overstimulated. Similar to a playground (which I understand it still is), it becomes a place of chaos, rather than imaginative conducive play. Certain sections also look a bit run down as well. Front parking was PACKED even at opening. I think there is more parking in the back, but that should be a sign of how crowded this place is and gets. PRICING is $22 PER PERSON (except for infants under 12 months). Yes, this includes adults. So it can get PRICY! Overall, it's more of a one and done for us. Unless they add new play areas/shops and maybe a discounted day? Otherwise, not really worth the hassle. 3 stars because at the end of the day, it's still an OK place to go to.
