    Our Fam @ Kids Empire Celebrating Our Big Guy's Bday!
    Chris E.

    Having been here once for just free play, here are my thoughts from a party hosting perspective. We held a birthday party here for one of our kids and we definitely had mixed (but, mostly good) feelings about the entire experience. We booked the party for a Saturday from 2-5 PM (their party start times are 10:30 AM, 2 PM, 5:30 PM) and our kids and all of our guests had a ABSOLUTE BLASSSSSST. As expected, our guests were there to have fun and enjoy the party and were probably oblivious to the planning that went into the party, hence why the experience coming here as a guest versus being a party host is going to be different. We booked the party online weeks ahead and on the Monday of the week of the party, we received a phone call from an employee. I'm not sure if you'd typically get a call from the manager or a random employee, but the person who called me was definitely an employee because they told me that the manager was not present that day when I asked certain questions. Basically, the employee confirmed the number of guests, our choice of cake, decorations and pizza (they only offer cheese or pepperoni or both). One thing to note about the pizza is that they advertise that it's 2 slices per guest, HOWEVER, they DO NOT advertise that there are 16 slices were pizza because they cut each regular size slice in half, meaning you're not going to be getting as many pies as you think you're getting based on 2 slices per guest. In actuality, it's just 1 regular size slice per guest. SO BEWARE OF THIS. Oddly, the employee did not request for a guest list with guest names, but we visited Kids Empire the day before the party and submitted one in person and we also paid the entire bill too, but you can choose to pay whenever ahead of time or pay the day of the party. Also, you can choose the tables you would like your party to sit at, but there are dedicated tables for parties as well so there isn't a whole lot of wiggle room on where your party can sit. On the day of the party, we arrived 15 minutes before the party start time as they don't allow the party parents to tend to their tables before then, but we weren't let in until about 5 minutes before the party start. With that said, we were assigned a party host (basically just a regular employee) to oversee our needs and the party tables were decorated as expected with a Kids Empire themed table cover, balloons, plates, cups and they had Welch's fruit snacks too. We added our own little touches to the decorations with extra balloons and snacks (e.g. chips). As the party progressed, family-sized water jugs and juices were brought out too and, whenever we ran out of beverages, our party host would bring out another. At about 3 PM, our pizza arrived from the vendor (Pizza HQ in Woodland Park), which meant it was time to eat for everyone at our party. It was our responsibility to corral everyone though to make sure they were present to chow down. Also, since we knew who the pizza vendor was for Kids Empire, we called them a few days before and placed an order for additional food and they delivered it along with the pizza orders on the day of the party. Just make sure to mention to them what time your party is. Our party host offered to serve the pizza to our guests, but our guests pretty much took matters into their own hands and started grabbing the pie boxes and handing them out, so there wasn't much need for the party host to assist, but just keep in mind that they do help serve the food. I will say that although our party host was verrrry, verrry nice and accommodating, at times she disappeared and we were not able to get a hold of her when we needed her, but we did find out she played the role of Huggy the dragon during the birthday parade. When our party began to wind down around 5 PM and it was almost time to end it, it felt like we were being rushed a bit to clean up. We understood that they had another party at 5:30 PM, but we were being rushed to move our leftover foods and we weren't allowed to keep it present in the facility, so we had to throw it all into the car. However, with the weather being extremely hot outside, we knew the food wouldn't last long in the car, so we asked if they could hold our food for us to the side for a short period, but the answer was NO. It would have been nice if they let us keep the food indoors, but because we had to move the food, it almost felt like we were forced to leave or else the leftover food could spoil in the heat. Anyhowwwww, overall, our kids and guests had ALOT of FUN and that's what really mattered, butttt, there's always a butttt, we would have appreciated if our party host was more visible and present. Also, we would have liked it if they helped hold our food off to the side at the end. It wouldn't have been a huge burden for them, but that definitely rubbed us a bit wrong. I would still recommend holding a party here, but just beware of some shortcomings.

    Went in for the first time at this place for a birthday party. Easy check in process after signing waiver. The place is pretty clean, lots of obstacle based play area and huge slides. There's a dance area, toddler play area, some arcade games. At the counter they sell many different types of snacks, sodas and ice cream. There are bench and tables where they put the party decorations. Other regular tables are available for parents not there for parties. The associates help with serving pizza and cutting cake. But it seems they don't fully dedicate resources to orchestrate the whole party that I have seen in other places. Our host dropped the cake by accident cause she was handling it after candle blowout. Also didn't see any help when they were packing all the gifts. The service in this process has lots of room to improve.

    Tables/Seating. Infant/toddler area on that back wall

    I've visited here about 5 times. I've never had a bad experience. I love that the play area is all in one space and I can sit down and have view of everything. There are tables and plenty of seating. I love that you have the option to go in and out same day (if you want to leave to eat you can and then you can return). The fee is for the whole day unlike some places that charge by the hour. I've never had an issue with cleanliness. The staff have always been fine - no issues. They're attentive when they're needed. They have little motor vehicles for an additional cost. You need to purchase a card at the front desk. That I wish were kept a little better because sometimes the vehicles are stopped in inconvenience places which can block others. They have wifi here if you want to get some work done while your child plays. There's also a little area for infants/toddlers off to the side. Overall I recommend this place. I'm not sure why all the negative reviews but this is my go-to indoor playground. It's located in a parking lot near many other businesses but parking has never been an issue. My least favorite thing is route 17 traffic!

I booked her party 5 months in advance and paid for two extra hours, specifically because I wanted the gym privately for the full 4 hours. Our party was scheduled from 1-5 PM. About one week before the party, I received a call saying that the last hour (4-5 PM) would now be open play, and that the pricing for the second additional hour had changed. While they said they wouldn't charge me the new price since I booked far in advance, I expressed how upset I was that this change was communicated so late. Had I known sooner, I would have adjusted the party time to avoid open play altogether. I was then told on the phone that there was no guarantee anyone would come in during that last hour, which turned out to be completely untrue. On the day of the party, we felt rushed to go into the party room and was told we couldn't enter the play area because another group/party was already using it, meaning our party was overlapped with another event. To add even more stress, I received a call the day before the party saying there might be an additional cleanup fee. This was surprising, especially since my friend has hosted two parties here before and was never charged a cleanup fee. What should have been a joyful, stress-free experience for my daughter's first birthday turned into unnecessary anxiety and frustration due to poor communication and last-minute changes. I'm really disappointed, especially given how much I previously loved this place. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd host another party here again.

Jennifer, who hosted the party, was beyond amazing. She was so warm, kind, hospitable, and genuinely made every guest feel special and welcomed. I honestly don't think I've ever seen birthday party staff this attentive and caring before. She went above and beyond and truly made the entire experience feel seamless and special. It honestly comes as no surprise because Xtreme Energy is already one of the best places for kids, but this experience completely exceeded expectations. Highly recommend for both play and parties!

He still speaks of his birthday and I can't say enough amazing things about the experience! From start to finish, it was truly a one-stop shop. They handled everything from decorations, food, cake, and nonstop indoor play, which made the day completely stress-free for us and unforgettable for our little one. The space was clean, safe, and perfectly set up for toddlers to have a blast. The staff was incredibly friendly, organized, and attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of. The food and cake were delicious, beautifully presented, and right on time. We also added the balloon animal add-on, and it was a HUGE hit, the kids were absolutely thrilled and it added such a fun, special touch to the party! If you're looking for an easy, fun, and perfectly coordinated birthday party experience, I highly recommend Xtreme Energy Englewood. They made our son feel so special, and we got to actually enjoy the celebration instead of stressing over logistics. Thank you for making his 3rd birthday so memorable!
