Always incredibly friendly and professional, the animals are so well taken care of and friendly. A huge hit with kids and adults. The staff is so easy to work with, setup is easy, they do everything, we just sent photos beforehand and discussed where the setup would be. They constantly have someone cleaning up any poop from the animals, it's just a Betty lovely experience and the most popular thing at our parties.

This was my second time over the years hiring Animal Encounters for my children's large birthday…read moreparty. John did an outstanding job accommodating our group from start to finish. The team was attentive to the various age ranges of children, patient with all of our questions, and clearly prioritized the well-being of both the children and the animals. The cleanup was handled efficiently, as if it never happened. Overall, I highly recommend this company for this service. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality made the party fun and memorable!

Caught wind of this place last year and finally made it around to this relatively new addition of…read morean indoor play space for young children. Online ticket reservation was easy, paying for just the child's ticket while adults are free (phew). Reading previous reviews, it seems they gave out their own grippy socks at one point, but I came prepared with my son having his own which was fine per the front desk. The interior is well thought out and planned for kids to go around exploring: 2 indoor climbing structures, 2 excavator pits (literally the most unique attraction that we never had ourselves growing up), a small child/ young toddler area, and pretend play police/fire station, movie theater and 3 ride-on animals. There's ample comfy seating for adults to lounge, because we all need to dissociate from our kids at times. Overall the environment was clean, nothing looked too worn down outside expectations, and all the staff were friendly. If you plan on spending 2+ hours here, the young ones will get hungry, which leaves you at the mercy of having to pay on-site inflation for snacks or a bulkier meal; at least the options are relatively "healthier" for kids, but you should lower expectations for yourself. Personally I could've made that $8 cup of mac and cheese better... all while avoiding a curdled cheese sauce. I'd like to think $25 admission for a weekday AM was sufficient to give my 4yo the space he needed, but crowds can still build up by mid-AM; I don't foresee smaller toddlers doing well if you are worried about the bigger kids possibly trampling over them. Heads up, just received an email that they're increasing prices and mandating their own $5 grippy socks, as I'm typing this near the end of March 2026 :(

We gave this place a try for the first time today! I have an 18 month old and this place has been…read morerecommended to us by several people. The facility is super clean which is awesome!! Friendly staff and lots of fun play areas! HOWEVER, I would not recommend this place for toddlers. It was mass chaos in there (even on a Tuesday morning) and it was a constant battle of trying to keep my little one from being trampled by a bunch of 6-8 year olds who were running WILD with no parents in sight. I'm talking running up all the slides, and pushing littles off things they wanted to be on etc. They do have a toddler area BUT it's very small and $29 is quite pricey to be contained to a small square when the issaquah toddler time at the community center is only $2 has more space and more toys for this age. So overall, it was cool to see but we won't be back until my little is quite a bit older.

If you have a toddler, this zoo is perfect. I love the small size of this zoo and it's just enough…read moreto see without being overwhelmed. If it's crowded, the parking lot can be the hard part about the zoo. There is some street parking outside but I'd say that's the downfall. I love that you can feed the alpacas and other reindeer. It makes the visit more interactive. They also have extra food by the alpaca for 50 cents so bring some quarters. The staff seem to really care for the animals and enjoyed hearing the talk about lemurs. They just got some lion cubs adjusted to their enclosure and it was super cool to see them on their first day. If your toddler is still not tired out, there's a playground in the parking lot they can run around in. Under 3 yo is free!

This place was a hit for the kids. $25 for 2 hours or $32 for all, just don't forget your grippy…read moresocks, it's an additional $3. Don't forget to do the waiver before you get there. They have a small arcade area when you walk in. You can also pay to play with the steam tables in a different section. There are snacks and some bites of food sold inside. I didn't notice much people opting for it. I would def recommend bringing a water bottle in, they are $2.50 a bottle inside. There was free black coffee set out for parents, but I didn't see any creamer. Two restrooms inside that were big, nice and clean. The kids had fun jumping in the ball pit, foam pit, some trampoline. There is a fun beaded pit with some toys to play with. Great place to burn the kids energy for the day.

I'm giving two stars instead of one because I've actually attended a birthday party here before…read morewith my daughter, and it was a really fun experience. However, trying to book a party myself has been incredibly frustrating. I've called multiple times at different times of the day, and no one ever answers the phone. I also sent a message on Instagram, which wasn't seen until the next day, and even then, it was left on read with no response. For a business that is clearly active and posting, that level of communication is really disappointing. The lack of customer service makes it very difficult to move forward with booking, especially when the website doesn't clearly answer all questions. I prefer being able to speak to someone directly, and not having that option, or any response at all, is frustrating. It's unfortunate because we were genuinely excited to book here based on our previous experience, but the poor communication ultimately cost them our business.

This shop is such a delight. The selection, terrarium setups, inspiration- is all in full bloom at…read morethis store. I walked in here with no planned intention but ended up buying an entire DOOA glass and light setup. it's definitely not cheap (~$300 for the set I bought. just glass, metal arm, light, 2 rocks) but what made it worth it is the fact that Adam from this shop was SO kind and beyond helpful. he gave suggestions and advice on what I would need to get my setup working properly, down to the type of substrate for certain plants. when I was picking out a few rocks for my glass, Adam had such an aesthetic eye for which one would look nice in the environment. I'm typically so picky about achieving a certain look for tank builds, but the two rocks Adam pointed out I immediately loved and got (they even have a sand dojo area for you to play around with layout). He sees the vision and helps you execute. This type of expertise and willingness to help is absolutely what lead me to buy an entire setup on a whim! But truly, cares for your build like he would his own and he doesn't try to *sell* you anything, rather he wants the plant to thrive in the environment created, and he's happy to give advice and his time to bring you to success. I never felt pushed in any manner and have so much respect for how he conducts his work. Huge thank you to Adam! Would recommend this shop if you run into him especially.
