I recently came here for a child's 5th birthday party on a Saturday from 3PM-5PM. It's located in a…read morestrip mall that looks pretty abandoned so there's plenty of parking. It's a cute spot for younger kids as there's two little bounce houses and plenty of toys up front. There was also a hoop in the back for older kids but I would still say this facility is more for younger kids like 5 years old and under. There were kid sized tables as well as adult sized tables in the front which was nice so you could sit if you wanted. There were also benches by the bounce houses which the adults utilized. I'm assuming this setup is just for parties and not for open play/classes. The two hosts for the party who I'm assuming we're the owners were very friendly and approachable. The kids and adults both had pizza and the drink options were apple juice and sodas. I know there was a bathroom in the back which I did not utilize. At the end of the party, there was a little play dough type St. Patrick's theme goody bag (which my toddler loved) and water bottle given out. All of the kids at the party looked like they had a great time. Mine was very upset when the party was over and time to go home. Overall, as someone who attended a birthday party here, I would definitely recommend it for a younger child's birthday party!

We had my daughter's 3rd birthday party at lil tots and it was perfect. We had an Elsa theme. They…read moredecorated, did sensory tables and had pizza and juice/water included. The owner even made special homemade play dough with cute themed toys and beads in them for us and our guests. The kids had the most amazing time bouncing on all of the bounce houses. The smaller kids loved all the toys they had lines along the wall. The price was the best I have found in Suffolk county 2 hours for 10 kids and they shut the place down to the public which is huge for me because I have two kids under 5 and it's just safer not having outsiders there. The adults felt like they could relax because the place is big but not so big that you can let your kid go wild on the bounce houses without being right there you can see them. Great value for money, wonderful staff that's caring and everything came together easily. You can have a great party and not stress about anything. Just show up. Highly recommended.

The owner name is Rita and she is such a ray of sunshine. The establishment is very clean. Reasonable price for 1 and .5 hour of open play. Absolutely NO sneakers, you must purchase wear socks or you can purchase them. It's not just for open play but also to have a snack with some tea or coffee. Play a La Mode is great for playdates, birthday parties or just open play. It's a open space which resembles a little town of different stores fronts where your child's imagination can just run wild. They will never get bored because each store/ play area has something to offer. The gym, grocery store, the kitchen, post office, camp fire and that's to just name a few. There is so much to do, your child will never get bored. My son loved everything about this place and did not want to leave. Thanks Rita for opening up such a safe and super fun play space for our kiddies.

You aren't allowed to touch them but if they land on you, you just enjoy that blessing and time with the butterfly that landed on you. All of the staff there are well-trained, welcoming, and friendly with both my kids. You have the option to upgrade your regular admission to a one year membership after your visit. To save yourself from a 3.5% surcharge if you use credit, you'll want to pay in cash. Breakeven for my membership was about 3 visits and we did just that for the 4 days we were in Riverhead. My kids loved it so much that they are already asking to go back. The aquarium is well kept and the sharks are HUGE!! They are definitely well fed. The aquarium is Atlantis themed and you can tell a lot of time, money, and detail went into the making of this aquarium. The aquarium is privately owned and you do see sponsorship (advertisement) from private companies. I am comparing my experience with the NY aquarium in Brooklyn, which I have visited countless times. The Long Island Aquarium blows the NY aquarium away in every way possible. It's new, ventilation indoors is amazing, the sea lion show has shade, the penguins can be seen up close, there's an inexpensive option to snorkel, theres a big tree house, etc. I would totally recommend coming here with your family. If you come on weekdays, there might be a lot of school kids, and if you want to avoid that, you probably should should come around 1 or 2pm. Highly recommend this aquarium.

The experience is phenomenal, whether you're young or older. There are interactive experiences, dives, tours, touch experiences and much, much more. My favorite is the penguin exhibition. The clear sides and floor is raised high enough for a child to go under. One comes to a rounded raised portion of the floor where the child can stand completely up and feels as if it's in the midst of the penguins. The penguins are very gregarious. When my Grandson looked at the side of the exhibit they all came over to greet him. As he moved, they moved to follow him. What fun! Don't miss the sea lion show, large living coral exhibit, shark tank and butterflies, bugs and bees garden. This year long attraction is a "must do" if you're in Long Island, especially if you have a child in tow.

As an animal lover and person who's previously rescued a bunny from them in the past, I'm highly disappointed!

They offer free trial sessions so you can experience the program before committing. After my son's initial session, I signed him up for 20 sessions. Which he will use during off season to improve his endurance, strength and performance. The workout varies from session to session, changing it up for the kids so its not too predictable. They give the kids breaks for water, but they have you out there moving pretty much the whole time. The intensity level of the kids vary, but they do try to push you. My son is definitely tired after the workout, but he looks forward to it now.
