Expensive overall. Service was very attentive, they have a lot of staff and are prepared for big crowds. The gaming part is described well in other reviews. I'll foot stomp that it's not adults only, on a Friday night the place was overrun with teens which was unexpected, though everyone was well behaved. The gaming is not linear and it's hard to interact with a large group, you'll lose anyone who is not in your small group of six or so to the mass of games. The wait times for the game rooms were manageable and their tech works really well. Some games were more fun and better than others. The head to head dodgeball, light smacking games were the most fun. I'm not sure I would do another big event there but many of our group left super happy. I'd come back with a smaller group of friends, 4-6 and go through with them.

Staff was super helpful and organized. They had four science related activities tailored to the twins interest in dinosaurs and space. Everyone got a chance to participate.

First time for us but won't be the last- considering them for our summer camp.

Reston has a zoo?!?!?!?!…read more I love it! I'm from southern California. I've been to the LA Zoo. And I have to say that this small zoo was better! Too many animals to name. The safari is really cool. You get to pet the animals. They look happy and well cared for. Because it's a small zoo, parking is tough and it can be a maze to get through traffic. The staff here is wonderful. You can cover all ground within an hour. But it's worth the ticket price. Exotic you're local. I enjoyed my visit. I went twice so I can enjoy the safari without worrying about time. Stop by, support and check it out. Thank you for a great visit.

It's a nice local zoo that can get a bit pricey. My toddler is currently in a phase that really…read moreenjoys butterflies so I paid extra for that experience. It was worth it since she could get up close with plenty of them and got to learn more about specific kinds from the staff. As I was walking in another family gave me a bucket of feed they didn't finish so my daughter enjoyed feeding the goats and cows. During our last visit by the time we were done walking around the line for the car safari was too long though so if you're interested in that perhaps you want to do that first thing in the morning before it gets busy.

I recently got the chance to check out the Toy Nest's updated digs last week and had a great time!…read more We did a drop-in play session for $12 which was the perfect after-school activity on a rainy day. We went with a group of three-year olds and they were ecstatic for an opportunity to check out new toys and get some energy out on a dreary day. They had a little something for everyone: ride on toys, baby dolls, sports equiptment, and all of the little blocks/gadgets a child could every want. The costume rack was also a favorite with characters ranging from superheroes, construction workers, to princesses. I love how this spot fills many different needs in the community: a third place for families to convene, eco-friendly way to get rid of all toys, and an affordable place to try out new toys and teach your child about responsibility and sharing. This woman owned business is the absolute best.

Now I have a 13 year old with a different attitude and eye rolling. Yet coming back here was worth it. You do have to park on neighborhood streets, but unless a nice weekend, it's relatively a cinch. This park is fenced in. Please still watch your kids though! There are a lot of toys for them to play with. I think people donate items here. There's also some playground equipment. It's not fancy but it's good for small children and families.

Right on the street next to the park, I had no problems finding multiple parking spots which was great! Bathrooms: right on the side, nothing fancy. Single bathrooms, spacious to bring your stroller in. Park: park itself looked underwhelming but once I started strolling through, I noticed how many play areas there were. There were at least 4 different swing areas (bucket and regular swings), there was a sandbox with toys (no slide anymore), two park playgrounds (one for toddlers one for big kids) and plenty of benches for parents, along with a sort of merry go round that my son loved pushing Crowd: great diversity and different ages there. When I went there were a lot of nanny groups and kids all playing together. My son is a little younger than the crowd and isn't used to playing with others but he enjoyed watching nearby. Seating: like I said, tons of benches set up at each little attraction, a good amount of picnic tables where the older kids were having lunch outside which I loved! Overall my son stayed for 1.5 hours and would've stayed longer if we weren't needing to leave for nap time. Great time! Wish I had taken more pictures but I'll update with overall area pictures when we go back next which I know will be in the next couple days!

I took my two kids ( under 6 yrs) on a Sunday mid-day and it was very busy. It's been very cold…read moreoutside and I think many parents needed their kids out and about doing something. It was definitely over-crowded and quite hard to find a table to sit down. We eventually found one right at the back of the store. The kids had the best time but scramble employees were no where to be found! There was no one monitoring kids. My kid got hurt a few times by slightly older kids and it was quite chaotic. The staff were not cleaning at all. You have to remove your shoes before entering the play area but the toilets are located inside the play designated area which means you have to go into the bathroom with socks on which is very gross. They should allow shoes in the bathroom area. Also the soap dispensers were empty and the lady that cleans the bathroom just hung out in the bathroom not really cleaning or filling the soap. The cafe - there are food options for kids and adults. We did try the kids pizza and French fries. The pizza was fine( cheese) but the fries were not good. It tasted like they fried it in very old oil. They do have coffee but I did not try it as the didn't have an option for skim milk. They do not allow outside food or drink but no one seems to really monitor that. Security - ok so this is non-existent. There is a door that divides outside area with inside play area but kids can easily open the door and leave the premises. The lady that stands by the door doesn't monitor kids matches with their guardians. She just opens and closes the door and often she is not there at all. They do not give wristbands at all or any form of security feature. So watch your kids closely while you are there as once they go into that massive play area it's difficult to locate them. The kids seemed to enjoy it as they don't worry about germs , dirt or food. I mean it's fine for an hour or so but honestly it was the last resort when deciding on a place to take the kids too. They also charge the adults an entry fee!!! ‍ I mean it's not like we are playing in the kids areas . I think we paid $55 for entry (2 kids and 2 adults). Would I go back? Not by choice but if the kids asked then I would consider it for an hour or two. ( definitely not on a weekend though).

As a parent, I was really disappointed with our visit to Scramble this summer. The playground was…read moreopen despite the heat, but inside it felt hotter than outdoors. The humidity was high, the air was thick, and there was no working A/C to keep the space comfortable. Kids were flushed and sweaty within minutes, and the lack of ventilation made it feel unsafe for extended play. Scramble usually does a good job with cleanliness and staff friendliness, but climate control is non‑negotiable. They need to fix the A/C before welcoming families in these temperatures.

It was close to $100 for a unicorn mug for my kid, the smallest bunny I could find to paint, and two servings of custard. If you have multiple kids, just get the custard.

My friends and I went here as a fun outing to do before we all leave for college. There was quite a…read morelimited selection of things to paint (lots of holiday themed pieces) and they were pretty expensive but no big deal we each found something. We were given almost no instruction from the employee at the front, who was also very cold, borderline rude, to us the entire time. We finished our painting and were told it would take 5-7 days to be fired and we would be called when they were done. After waiting nine days with no word I tried calling the place (they were open) but received no response, I tried calling later that day but again no one picked up. I then called two days later (so it's been 11 days since we originally went) and again received no response. I had called four separate times at this point. We live pretty close so I just went to the store. The same employee was there and again was rude to me. He interrupted me and did not seem to care that I received no response on the phone and that our pieces were four days late. He asked me to sign the receipt but it didn't have my name on it so I asked if I should still sign. Again he interrupted me and was rude, even sneering at me. My friends have already left for college and they didn't get their pieces. So yeah, not a good experience and I won't be coming back.

Admittedly, I couldn't help but to join in with my reptile finger, feeling our reptilian friends as they passed by. In the end, everyone (both young and old) learned something new and had fun!

It is one of the few indoor play places that genuinely works for that range of ages. The younger kids love the climbing structures and slides, and our 10 year old never feels bored. It's clean, bright, and set up in a way that lets kids explore while parents can actually relax a bit. This was our first time hosting a birthday party there, and it exceeded expectations. Everything was organized, smooth, and low stress. Elif, our host, was excellent. She was warm, attentive, and completely on top of the details from start to finish. She kept the party moving, helped with setup and transitions, and made sure the kids felt celebrated. It made such a difference to have someone so thoughtful and capable guiding the experience. We already loved coming here for regular play, and now we can confidently say their birthday parties are just as great. Highly recommend for both everyday fun and special celebrations.

Compared to other indoor playgrounds we've been to in Atlanta, this one is on the smaller side. Once the party time is over, you're asked to leave (you have color coded wristbands). Other places we've visited usually allow kids to keep playing afterward, though those facilities were much larger. There were multiple birthdays happening, so I guess it makes sense to flip rooms and avoid having too many kids. Kids were putting balloons in their mouths and I didn't see anyone sanitize them? I didn't see a designated spot to place items that may need cleaning.
