Everyone agreed that the flow from room to room was great because as soon as the kids would wind down from one area it was time to switch. Everyone loved the pizza. Drink pitchers were filled promptly. They even cut that cake for us... we literally didn't have to think about anything and could focus on the kids. The staff even packaged up the left over pizza without us asking. It was a great experience and our son has already asked for his party to be there again.

They only allow riding the rides once or twice at $30 per kid for ONLY 1.5hours, (why not let the kids ride or jump on whatever for however many times) but it keeps it empty! and Very clean. This end of the mall deserted. the jumping is in two large bounce houses with one large slide included No height requirement!!! (LOVE THIS) under 2 they suggest an adult to ride along (not required, if able) The bumper cars are battery operated - so soft bumps and fun Very clean My kids loved it, both 2 and 4.5 were wore-out with the jump time and found it all amazing and 2 times for each ride was perfect. We actually left earlier than paid for (only jump time left and they were too tired) both kids loved every minute at their own private carnival.

This place is absolutely terrible! For starters, it cost $29.99 per child to get in. Once you're…read morein, $30 only gives your child 1 hour to do all of the following: jump in the bounce house, ride the bumper cars, ride on the plane and ride the pirate merry-go-round. Yes. ONE HOUR for $30. That's it. To add insult to injury, they limit each child to riding each ride one time. Yup, that's right. You have 1 hour in the building total and during that time you are limited to how many times you can ride each ride. All of the other games require tokens, for which you have to pay more money. Some of the games were broken and took tokens without cutting on. This place is a total waste of time and money.

They also have laser tag and an arcade, so there's plenty to do. What impressed us most was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, but one moment really stood out. While we were still playing mini golf, a staff member came to find us and let us know a laser tag game was starting soon and suggested we join. If we had waited until we finished golfing, it probably would have just been our two boys in the arena. Instead they got to play with a full group, which made the game way more exciting. That extra level of customer service made a big difference. The kids had an absolute blast and we really appreciated the staff looking out for us like that. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun outing with kids.

It's funny how your world opens up a bit more when you have kids. Despite living in Baltimore for…read moremany years, I had never been or even really known what this is. Well for those that don't know, it is a dope three level museum for kids that had rooms upon rooms and activities galore. Anything that you can think of is here, a grocery store, car, train set, boat, water area, crafts...and more. My son and I were there for over three hours and did not even get through to everything. If you can, purchase your tickets prior to going, and look for "community days," my son and I were both able to go for less than the price of one regular ticket. There is a parking lot nearby and supposedly you can get discounted parking, but unfortunately that was not my experience. My kid had a ball and wants to go back- maybe next time we will be able to experience more.

Parking was super easy as there is a public garage just a 2 minute walk from the main entrance. It was easy to know where to go because of the crowd walking towards the museum. We just followed everyone and getting in was easy. They give you a wrist band to wear. (I do think they might want to consider having parents write their phone number on their child's wrist band just because the museum is so large!) If you have belongings, there are lockers to place your stuff in. It is located in their cafe which has tables, loads vending machines and microwaves as well. There is hand sanitizer stations scattered around. If you have small children, there is an in closed area for babies. The exhibitions, activities and engagement opportunities are endless. My child had such a good time. We barely scratched the surface and will need to go back to see more!

Open from 1-5p p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, here's what you should know: 1) Admission: It's free. However, considering giving a donation to keep the history alive. 2) Space: Located inside a historic Quaker one-room schoolhouse, the museum is literally three rooms- a classroom, a general store and a "great room." Through exhibits and an alphabet scavenger hunt in the general store, visitors learn about 19th century life in a mill town. 3) Staff: Most are volunteers and friendly. 4) Parking: They have parking at the court parking lot or on the street. There is a restroom on site.

The line was long, and we had to pass by it to buy our tickets. Go early to have enough time to see everything including the surprise! exhibit located by the gift shop. Yes, we sadly missed the Australian exhibit with birds that might land on you. My personal favorite were the Jellyfish which were tucked off and away from the hanging jellyfish decorations. If you arrive early or are all done with the aquarium on another day, take your crew out on a paddleboat! There's two sorts - pirate ships and Loch Ness monster (my words/description, not necessarily theirs). No idea what they charge though.

The aquarium is pretty big, the exhibitions were not crowded at all and we were able to pace ourselves and watch all of them without feeling rushed or crowded. The positives: - overall it was very clean - lots of fishes to see! - 2 interactive tanks for kids to touch the jellyfish and some other fish - the layout with the big fish tank in the center that can be seen from all the floors is pretty spectacular - toy store has nice items - steps for younger kids to see the tanks - beautiful views Cons - it is SOOOOO expensive - no strollers allowed - we saw mice in the tropical exhibition, I'm still a little traumatized lol. Overall it was a great day! I do wish it wasn't as expensive so we could go more ofter

I only brought cupcakes and party favors and everything else was taken care of. They provided pizza, decorations, juice/water, and all the plates and eating-ware. I also didn't have to lift a finger when serving kids. The party host just took care of everything! No clean up, no fussing over pizza delivery, no nothing. Just sat back and enjoyed my kids birthday party. Not to mention this place is perfect for the 5-8 year old birthday party age range. All the kids had a complete blast, there's no escape for the kids and the whole place is padded, so when you lose track of your kid, it's a no sweat situation. All the parents just got to keep a distant eye and relax. Even if you're not going for a birthday, this indoor playground is an absolute blast for the kids. It can get crowded when the weather isn't nice as it is cheaper indoor fun for hours. Always worth the trip and always a good time.
