The team was getting ready for a party. My kiddo was the only one in the store. Towards 1pm it was pretty busy. They do not allow outside food! You can purchase a customizable snack box. It is includes a drink, chips, pouch, and a crustable. They have high chairs and plenty of sitting. There is a toddler area where they keep the bigger kiddos out of so they can play comfortably.

My kids were here for hours, building up a real sweat, and didn't want to leave even when it was dark and time for dinner. Yes, it's true, they don't let you bring in outside food, and they will instead sell you expensive candy or an ice cream bar. Yes, it's true, the staff is stretched a little thin and the place doesn't have a strong customer service vibe (though the staff was perfectly friendly and competent when I was there). But - again -- my kids had a good time, were safe, and burned off a ton of energy on a cold winter day in Chicago. This place will definitely go in our winter-play rotation, and probably should go in yours too.

One of the male workers was really sweet to our son and our son immediately became attached to him. The worker literally played with him for about 20 minutes before his shift ended. I'm telling you, it was pure magic to see how much fun my son was having with the worker. Couldn't recommend this place enough. PROS- clean, nice snack box options (peanut butter and jelly uncrustable and I think applesauce?), friendly staff, secure entrance, the motorcycles / roller track / giant slide/ soccer field are SO MUCH FUN. CONS- none!

You can tell the staff really cares about cleanliness -- even the restroom was perfectly clean in the middle of a busy day, which was especially impressive.

There is an awesome colorful net structure that I have never seen before. He enjoyed balancing on it. I like that they allow the parents to play with their kids, which can be helpful for the little ones. There was a smaller section for kids age 0-3. There were also lots of arcade games that you can play with a reloadable game card. Our favorite was the Nerf target shooting game and the rubber duck crane (there's a winner every time!) We scored 3 rubber duckies for our kiddo's collection. Outside food is not allowed, but there is a snack bar with drinks and food. There are also plenty of tables to sit at and there's a wall of massage chairs for the exhausted adults that need some pampering! We will definitely be back after school on another weekday. We probably spent a little over an hour here and had a lot of fun!
