This attraction also included a fun ropes course with a zip line that went over the first floor. Near concept! My favorite was the laser tag. While it was a small room, it made for a super fun and competitive game! Each attraction set is $10/each, but they always have great deals. We spent $20 and got $40 worth of activities! The staff were mostly friendly and nice. The only downfall of this place is the "go-karts," as they were more like slow bumper cars that you can't bump. Definitely not worth $10. There's also a huge arcade and restaurant here. Highly recommend checking out Fun Land!

My kid had so much fun here!…read more One note--careful looking it up on your GPS. Make sure it's the one on Pepsi Place. At first, I was in the wrong location on the total other side of the complex. This was maybe the best place to hang indoors with kids that was non sensory overload. It's chill, cool people working there, no annoying music, no bright colors, lights, etc. No creepy animatronic mouse serving you inedible pizza. It's only ten dollars for each kid to play, no fee for adults. They also do birthday parties and sell the play equipment. We played for almost two hours and there were enough different fun activities (rock climbing, slides, swings, trampolines, basketball courts) for the kids not to get board. My four year old loved it, and the older kids seemed to really be enjoying themselves as well. I was tempted not to write this review to keep this place to myself ;)

They charge for additional adults accompanying your little one which was different from other indoor playgrounds that just cared about the number of littles. It seemed decently clean.

Kids running everywhere and parents not watching their kids, seriously the most overstimulating place. It's a kid place so its definitely not the cleanest place and one annoying thing: everyone dumps their jackets and stuff on the front tables instead of actually using the designated area, so there's nowhere to sit or organize your things. I mean it'd be nice to actually use the tables to eat the pizza you're ordering there. Not terrible, not amazing. Fine for a quick play session, and getting the kids out the house. Bring headphones to drown out the noise (depending on how old your kids are).

We were so excited to come here after hearing many great things, especially since it was our first…read moretime visiting. We booked a reservation online for the splatter room at 3 PM on May 23 and even had to leave a deposit. In the days leading up to our reservation, we received text reminders telling us to arrive at 2:45 PM. When we arrived at 2:45, we were greeted by a Caucasian man who I assumed was the manager. He told us it would be a few minutes because they were waiting for a staff member to arrive. Okay... we placed our belongings in a locker and waited. Once another employee arrived, we were then informed that they were short-staffed and did not actually have availability for our reservation. We were told we would need to wait until someone else came in to assist us because they were understaffed. Huh??? First of all, how is that our problem? We had a confirmed reservation, and NOBODY contacted us beforehand to let us know there was an issue. Honestly, it didn't even seem like anyone knew we had a reservation at all, and the employee helping us looked confused. We ended up leaving and requesting a refund, which was extremely disappointing because my family was really looking forward to this activity. There was no accountability taken, nor did the manager seem at all concerned that no one was available to assist us. He was avoidant and dismissive, leaving the employee to handle the situation instead of trying to accommodate us or offer a solution. Unfortunately, since this was our first impression of this business, it will also be our last. Very unprofessional and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

It was trippy with the black lights and projections on the wall of various etherial scenes. We all dressed up in the protective suit, googles and boots. The kids were a little small for the suits, but they managed to make it work! Once inside, you can throw paint all over, stomp on the artwork with your feet (a personal favorite of my kids), and twist the painting around to have the colors spread in all directions. We were joined by a staffer the entire time who took a few pictures along with a cute video. I recommend having the staffer snap photos with your own iPhone as mine came out a little better. But I did enjoy the video. At the end of the experience, they pack up the painting in gigantic pizza boxes. The paint is expected to dry in 24-48 hours, though ours took a much longer. I recommend putting the paintings outside on a dry day in the sun to help move that along. Granted ours had a lot of paint on it, but even after 48 hours it was super wet. This is a blast. And it's located in a classic 1990s mall. The kids LOVED this mall, complete with a Spencers gift store, bowling alley and reptile interactive experience. In fact, we'll probably come back here again once the winter sets in since there are so many things here to do with kids inside.

At Tyson's every kid seems to be in the middle of a hyperactivity attack. At The Mall in Columbia…read morethere are kids way to big for the place. Thus, I am usually skeptical of indoor playgrounds. However, this was a good experience. This is the first time we have been to Fair Oaks since the Fun Zone opened, and the weather looked ominous when we got there. So after haircuts and Elevation Burger, we decided to let our boys run around for a while. The Fun zone is sort of tucked away in one of the arms of the mall. Not being right in the middle of everything is probably why it is less crazy than other places. For the most part the kids were running around, but not out of control. There seemed to be parents for every child, so unlike Columbia it does not appear to be a dumping ground while mommy, daddy, or nanny shop. The play stuff is the standard soft climbing stuff with the requisite soft slide. I know that stuff can get nasty, but right now it is still new enough that it looks clean and well kept up. In all, this will be the new go to place when my kids need to run on a rainy day.

Would you like to become a member? It's the same cost per month as one daily admission." Me: (Catching on to what's going on). "Oh, no thanks. We'll just get some water from our cars ice chest." Them: "No outside drinks." There are no healthy food options for kids at all. Nothing but junk food. Pizza, potato chips, candy, ice cream. cotton candy. No fruit. No low sugar drinks except bottled water.

We've also visited the water park several times, and our kids always have a great time. It's clean, well-maintained, and offers enough variety to keep them entertained for a few hours. Overall, I'd consider Cub Run one of the better rec centers in Fairfax County. The facilities are nice, the pricing is reasonable, and it's a great place for families.
