    This place is a win for parents and kids alike. Kids Empire on Blanding is spacious, clean, and genuinely fun. The staff stood out - everyone we interacted with was friendly, upbeat, and helpful. You can tell they care about making it a good experience for families. What I really appreciate is the come-and-go policy! We stepped out to grab some food and came right back with no issue. The kids got hours of play in, climbing, sliding, and running around. It's the kind of place where you can relax a bit while the kids wear themselves out. Highly recommend if you're looking for a safe, indoor play place.

    Amazing!!!!!! It's like Discovery Zone all over again and I'm so ecstatic! I'm going to give you the run down.... Complete the online waiver for everyone who will be with you. Adults and children. Wear socks! They don't have to be non slip. No outside food or beverages allowed. After you pay for admission, they will give you a tote to place all of your shoes and items in. You can carry it to your table with you. There is a toddler play area but for the older kids 5+, they have an amazing indoor jungle gym. I'm 6'3 and can comfortably get in and play in the jungle gym. Which is great especially if you have very brave little ones who need occasional help. There is a snack bar with a decent variety of choices to hold you over. Staff is kind and so far the space is very clean. The gates to enter in and out of the play space require a staff member to unlock electronically. They just recently opened their doors, so when it catches on, I expect a full house. We needed something for the kids and now we have it!!

    I'm a nanny, so I'm constantly looking for new things to do with my kiddos. This place is perfect…read morefor kids of all sorts of age ranges, and while we were there we saw newborns all the way up to 7 years old. First, I liked the quiet, peaceful environment. Not overwhelming or loud for little kiddos. They were stocked with all sorts of toys and activities, including learning games, sensory toys and enrichment activities. There is something for every kid here. The workers are kind and friendly, and love interacting with the kids. Highly recommend! *picture covering kiddos eyes to protect privacy.*

    I'm so glad I found this little gem! It's been a God's sent. It's a indoor playground located in…read moreFruit Cove, not too far from us. We come here weekly for their classes: arts and craft, sensory touch, dance exercise, bubble & many many more. Every week it is something new and my little one is thriving here. The staff is super sweet and welcoming. The playground and toys are super clean and they mop/wipe down everything daily. The families that come here are so nice and kind, everyone's so friendly and I feel safe bringing my little one here. Highly recommend for those that are looking to make new mom/dad friends while your Little's socialize and hang out with each other. They also do birthday parties here and other events. I can't wait for our first party here in a few weeks. They provide party planner, decor, space etc. you name it, they have it!!

    Been there twice with my almost 2yr old son. He loves it there. There are different areas he can…read moreexplore and the projector that shines into the floor is interactive. I also love it because I don't have to really worry about him getting into things he shouldn't. Somebody in a review complained about the owner, but I think she's a sweet lady. I really liked the community feel. I don't mind someone getting onto my kid, reasonably, if he is doing something he shouldn't. I think my favorite room is the quiet room. I love the cricket sounds, the fish lava lamps, for lack of a better word, and the fiber optic things. I mean I could take a nap in there. Everything is clean and tidy. I 100% recommend this place to anybody with little kids.

    The owner is very rude, passive aggressive and has zero customer service aside from the call made…read moreto inquire on a birthday session. She uncomfortably monitored like a warden everything that the children were doing. We could barely take pictures because she was always in the way. She even told one of the children playing on the slide to stop going up the opposite way. We felt uncomfortable being there. Amongst other things, basketballs/balls were deflated so that the children could not bounce them for basketball. Save your money and go to surge or rent a bounce house. I wouldn't take my pet back there. Further, She used a racial slurr when confronted about her lack of service. She will NOT be in business for long. I strongly do not recommend this establishment. It's because of clients that she's in business. If google allowed videos I would upload her unprofessionalism.

    This place is a nice alternative to an outdoor park. Over all the equipment is well maintained…read morethough it can be a bit crowded. I tend to walk around with my kiddo when they are playing but I know there is a lot of drop in and play with less parent interaction. There are also a day camp and classes/events you can attend there which is nice. The only cons I can find is that there can be some kids who are not into sharing or taking turns. There are others who just have no regard for the fact that little kids are there too. Running or pushing them out from other play-sets. And some who do dangerous climbing on the equipment and get aggressive toward you when you ask them to stop, then follow you when you move to other play areas with your kiddo then monopolize that play area till you move again. But maybe that was just my experience.

They…read morehave: mini zip-line: pretty cool but the harness doesn't accommodate smaller toddlers who can't hold onto the straps themselves yet. It's more like a sling. Trampoline: decent size miniature rock climb wall: pretty cool chalk/crayon station: all the crayons are broken and they didn't have coloring books, just a single sheet of white paper laying out. Same with the chalk; broken. puzzle station: many missing pieces and a few broken. They had maybe four puzzles. train track station: this station sits right below a glass window that gets a lot of sunshine. Boy did it get hot sitting there playing with the trains. And this was on an October day. Can you imagine how hot it can get in the summer. They need to install a shade there. playhouse kitchen: limited amount of pots, pans, utensils, dishes, and food items. Swings: not your typical swings that you think of at the park. I don't know what they're called but they're like hammock style swings. Climbing obstacles Monkey bars One thing that I noticed they are missing, a SLIDE and a ball pit. Even though I listed a lot of activities, I don't feel like it's toddler friendly. The physical activities required more advance hand and foot coordination. There's a lot of indoor activities for big kids already and I was hoping this was one for my younger toddlers.

    I went on a free tour of Sally Dark Rides and left feeling like my mind was blown. First of all - I…read morehad no idea this was a huge warehouse in Downtown Jacksonville. Nor did I realize most of the dark rides across the whole world are created and developed here! It was amazing!! Our tour guide led us through the building while showing us all of the stages of creating an epic dark ride. This made me think about amusement parks in a whole different way. The tour was about an hour and was very informative. We asked lots of questions and met people from different departments along the way. Highly recommend booking a free tour and checking this out. It would be great for kids as well!

    I need to start b my saying that this part of our trip to Florida was not planned! My 11 yo LOVES…read moreanimatronics, most especially, Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF). He originally wanted to visit a much smaller place in Orlando, which is a one man operation charging $375. It was a bit too far and too expensive for what it was so I decided to do my own research of places he would love, Sally Corporation became the place. I filled out the reservation form online and was told there were no spots available during our time in Florida. I couldn't take no for an answer. I emailed back explaining how much my son wants to be a Robotics Engineer and that we would wait as long as we needed to snag a spot. We got an email back the next day that two spots opened up!!! We made our way downtown and parked for free in the back. We entered to learn that the tour was also FREE...FREE! This facility is HUGE! They are arguably the largest producer of Dark Ride Amusements in the US and don't just make the robotic aspect of the animatronics, but they handle EVERY aspect of the creation and completion. From make up, costumes, design, voices, all of that! We were thrilled to see they had a...yep...FIVE NIGHTS OF FREDDY'S attraction! If you've ever been to he Ripley's in San Antonio, you will see one of their biggest sellers there, a ginormous T-Rex, that's their baby that sells for $90,000! The tour takes you to each department and you are truly immersed in their production. It is an working operation so you get to see the people behind the scenes at work, which was SO DAMN INSPIRING for my 11 yo who has told me for 4 TM years that this is what he wants to do in life. He got to see what his future could be like, which is absolutely priceless. The staff, facilities, location, displays, animatronics, all were 5 stars! Hands down a MUST when in Jacksonville! Come for a 10 or 11am tour and then take the FREE Skyway (Tram) to Hemming Park and Check our Sweet Peet's. Your kids will have the best day ever!
