    My son loves this place, lots of kid energy, a lot! Huge space, lots of places to sit. It is a day pass, so works if you have shopping to do and we break to get lunch and come back. Kiddos get very worn out. Wish they had a kitchen with food, but they do have snacks, and sodas (chips, cookies, etc.)

    The good- it's a great way for kids to get their energy out and learn some social interaction skills. The workers here are very nice when interacting with them. Other than these points, it's not so good. The bad- exceptionally dirty. I took a few photos, but obviously it's difficult since it's full of kids lol. The images show what seems like months of dirt and grime buildup. The rest of the place is very dirty too. We were the first people to arrive promptly at 10am and there were wrappers, drink spills and other items that were left behind from the previous day. The whole place is filthy and seems to at most get cleaned once a month. Additionally, 90% of the claw machines are a waste of time and it's clear they're setup this way. Once you claw an item and the cord retracts bringing the claw to the top, it's automatically opens the claw dripping the items. I did this over and over again on all the claw machines and only the Golden Egg machine and candy machine lets you win anything. I also watched parent after parent try the claw machines with the same result. I brought this up to the staff, they were nice about it, but advised that many people complain about the same thing and they tell management, but nothing ever gets fixed. Final conclusion, the owners/managing team doesn't value longevity, they're scrapping by until they can't keep up anymore and the business falls. It doesn't seem they find importance of actually making sure the kids are safe.

    My kids love coming here. From the indoor soccer, the slides and climbing. This place is a win for indoor play in the summer. Whenever we are in town we bring the kids here. We have been to other indoor playgrounds but this is my boys favorite.

    Nephew's birthday party was held here and they forgot to tell my sister that they weren't providing the cake. Then they never had Huggie come out. Both were in the package paid for. They told my sister that kids are not allowed to climb up the tower with the strips that kids fall through (see pic). Which is fine but hilarious that they pointed to the sign at the top of the tower that supposedly says this. Because, you know, people climb up from the top of the tower. The other hilarious thing is the ban on grip socks (because kids use them to climb up the slide) as you see multiple kids and adults alike slipping and sliding on their slick floors. Seems like this is more of a liability!

    Excellent place for kids and adults. From playing on the large play ground to arcade games. They have several slides and even a section for toddlers. Believe it or not for the money it's a great place to keep kids occupied. They will leave happy and tired. You can bring in sealed water containers but only that. Shoes must come off. You can purchase Pizza and food including snacks. Video games will require a card that you will need to preload with money to play games.

    Love the memories!

    Nathan was incredibly helpful today! Also, this place is my daughters absolute favorite place to go and asks me to take her constantly. We love how the place has evolved over the years and offers so much fun to my 5 year old! We've been taking her here since 2022 when she was just two years old and even back then, it was such a great place to take a toddler! Now she's old enough to play in the big kids section, which is fun for all ages! Already cannot wait to be back(: thank you to kids empire for tiring out my kiddo and giving us a nice air conditioned play ground to let out some energy!!

The AC was not working properly, and we were seated upstairs in an extremely hot area with only a fan that was turned off multiple times. I had preordered our food months in advance, yet our order came out late and was incorrect. Meanwhile, our guests were upstairs waiting with no food and not even water available. We had to ask multiple times just to get the water refilled. Once all of the food finally arrived and the water was refilled, things were somewhat better, but we were still sitting in an uncomfortably hot space. Our party host did her best with what she had to work with, but the overall operation felt extremely disorganized. The entire place appeared to be run by teenagers, with no adult manager present or available to address issues. One employee at the front desk, Peyton, consistently appeared irritated and never once offered a friendly or welcoming attitude. To make matters worse, because we had spent so much of our party time upstairs waiting for the correct food order, my son went to take one last slide. Peyton came up to him and told him, "No, your time is up." At that point, I asked to speak with a manager. I was told, "You'll have to look up the number on our website and call them." I found that response incredibly unprofessional and rude, especially after spending nearly $700 on a birthday party that had already been filled with problems. I waited three weeks expecting someone from management to reach out and discuss what happened, but no one ever did. I understand that things can occasionally go wrong, but the lack of communication, poor customer service, disorganization, and complete absence of management made this experience extremely disappointing. I would not recommend spending your money here or hosting a birthday party at Slick City.

The main reason was the staff. They were really good with the kids and seemed to really like their job. There was a ton of activities for our grandson to do. It's one of the few times where he hasn't told me he's ready to leave 30 minutes after we take him somewhere. I really liked the ambience too. There was music playing, which provided a lively atmosphere, but it wasn't so loud that it was annoying. Every kid I observed was having so much fun. The highlight of the visit was when he decided he wanted to do the climbing wall. Because of his age, I was hesitant but he actually did very well, and the safety gear looked really secure. He loved the challenge. The entire facility was very clean, including the bathroom. We will definitely be going back! Thank you, Uptown Jungle

The Mesa location has a lot more gym equipment, obstacles, and activities for younger kids, while this location feels much more like an open warehouse space with fewer things for little ones to do. The skate area is definitely larger here, but overall there wasn't as much to keep my 7- and 9-year-olds entertained. There were also a lot more older teens here, which made me uncomfortable letting my kids explore on their own. Even the 6-and-under area had bigger kids playing in it, and the main wheel zone was filled with older boys riding around pretty aggressively and balls just being thrown in different directions. The biggest disappointment was the cleanliness. We needed to use the restrooms as soon as we arrived, and they were very dirty--toilet paper was all over the floor and multiple toilets hadn't been flushed. The facility also felt worn down, and some of the equipment looked like it could use better maintenance. I'm glad I was able to visit using my GetOutPass, but I don't think I would pay admission to this location. I really wish the GetOutPass included the newer Mesa location instead, as it's a much better experience for younger kids. The teens all working at the place also are too busy talking and mingling with each other...
