    Pretty retro
    Jess L.

    I came here on a holiday weekend day with some of my family. It was pretty quiet, and I'm sure the person working here didn't necessarily want to be there. She was generally a bit slow and not particularly welcoming. Nonetheless, we got the scoop and pretty easily figured out the system, which does automatic scoring and has some "lite" animation. We easily found some balls of various sizes, though we seemed mainly to have 4 types of the same ball. (Maybe if we had scoured the alley further, we could have found more options.) I was caught between really enjoying the "retro" vibe but also feeling like the spot felt a little grimy and old. I suppose that is part of the charm. For holidays, the per-hour cost is $39. Any time over is prorated.

    Nutmeg Bowl is a bowling alley that probably will not win the award for best looking bowling alley. On the contrary it looks like it can use a 'Bowling Alley Make Over.' Question: "Why did it not happen yet?" Answer: "Because it is bumping out here!" Every time I walk in here it is crowded, people all over the place, with their fancy bowling shoes. It seems like all bowling stations have more people than it can hold. The scene is as if there can break a fight out any moment, how ever the atmosphere tells you a different story. The bowlers have fun here and they don't mind the bad decor, the food booth, that definitely need a touch up. So if it's not broken why fix it? Nutmeg might not be the place for your 2011 World Championships, but it is the place for family, friends, and fun... but not food according to my opinion.

    Glow-In-The-Dark style. Really fun!

    See all

    My son had his 6th birthday here last week and I was very impressed with the staff and preparation…read more It was June so the only other guests there when we arrived was another birthday party finishing up. The staff had set up my son's soon with a fun construction theme including table clothes, plates, napkins, signs on the wall and had juice and water ready to go. They checked in throughout, reminded us about pizza and cake at the right time and didn't rush anyone. Last year my son had his birthday at Tumble Jungle in Norwalk and it felt more rushed and like they wanted us out on the minute but Playhouse Fairfield gave us a great experience. If you're looking for an easy time for your kids, someone to truly pull it all together for you I'd definitely recommend them in the future!

    I'm writing this review to share an extremely troubling experience my family had at Playhouse…read moreFairfield on December 4, 2025. My two-year-old son and I have visited this location dozens of times over the past year without a single issue. On this visit, we also happened to be the only Black family present. What happened afterward was shocking, unprofessional, and felt unmistakably discriminatory. Later that day, I received a call from someone identifying herself as the owner/manager. She claimed that it had been "reported" that my recently turned two-year-old son had: * "Shaken" a one-year-old girl * Then supposedly been "violent" toward multiple children * And later--somehow--"choked" the same child These accusations all came in a single phone call and kept changing as she spoke. Not one version was consistent with the last, and none of them matched anything that occurred during our visit. When I calmly asked her to check security footage, she said she would but immediately followed it with, "The video may not have caught anything," despite openly admitting she hadn't reviewed it. To this day, I have received zero follow-up or confirmation that any video was checked at all. I later spoke with the front-desk employee who was there during our visit. He confirmed that: * No parent voiced any complaint about my son * He personally witnessed nothing concerning * The owner/manager was not even present at the time This brings up extremely concerning questions: * How did the owner know to single out my child when no complaint was made? * Why was I immediately presumed guilty with no evidence? * Why did the supposed reporting parents never speak to me directly, which is standard in children's play spaces? * Why did the claims escalate from shaking, to multiple children, to choking--a sequence that simply does not align with a newly two-year-old's behavior or my son's history? My son has never harmed another child, and our long history at this business reflects that.

    I was coming to the Fairfield area from California for my brother's memorial service in April 2014…read moreand Carol was was able to orchestrate a reception for me through phone contact alone. She was so easy to work with, took total control and organized and coordinated the whole 2 day event for me before I even left home, so that I didn't have to worry about anything when I got to CT except being with my family. Carol was able to capture exactly what I wanted, with absolutely no stress on my part. The food was fresh and delicious and she was able to put a modern spin on my family's favorite classic foods. Carol did a fantastic job and I would definitely recommend her and her very professional services to anyone!

Carol and her team brought such professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail--our entire group was blown away. The passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour were a perfect opener--especially the Tuscan bean bruschetta on cucumber rounds and the chilled gazpacho shooters, which were both refreshing and beautifully presented. For dinner, the buffet was exceptional. The marinated flank steak and barbecue chicken were huge hits, but the whole salmon filet and grilled summer vegetables stole the show for many. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Carol & Romy were both a joy to work with--thoughtful, responsive, and clearly passionate about what she does. We would not hesitate to work with her again for future events. Highly recommend!
