She worked her social skills and made friends (which was a first at an indoor playground). It was nice to see parents truly there for their kids. I like that there are cameras in every blind spot. One can watch their child from the cafe table area on the screen. The cafe was such a treat! It was nice to grab a bite to take a break from play time. The kids pancake breakfast and was hearty like we made it at home, with the minnie pancakes, eggs and bacon. I had the spam musubi and it was so good paired with my vanilla latte. I also had an americano and it was sooo good! The service was great and it was an overall enjoyable experience.

My time was from 9-12PM and around 11AM... kids start rolling in, parents don't watch their kids... it gets RIDICULOUS. PLEASE WATCH YOUR KIDS. THERE WERE KIDS THAT WERE CHAOTIC and even GRABBED my child. Unless it's empty, I highly recommend that your child is somewhat walking at least to come to this place. When it gets packed - kids just run around everywhere/bumping each other/etc. - Check in - I already filled out a waiver online and gave them my number when I was purchasing entry tickets in person. $25 for child and $5 for adult. It was our first time here, so had no idea on what to do/expect, and it wasn't really explained to me. I think the employee assumed I've been there before, so he didn't really explain. You do need to put your shoes in the front and wear socks inside. Kids need to have GRIPPY socks and adults, any socks will do. - Seating - They have lots of seats open for you to put your bags down. I was able to bring my snacks in for my kid. They were not strict about that. They do have a cafe, which I did see a lot of the parents order from. I didn't, but it seems relatively good for the foods I did see others order. They also have drinks. - Cleanliness - It was good, but could be better. I went when it opened, and I still saw lots of hairs on the ground, crumbs, lots of finger marks on the windows, and even saw a coffee cup high up in a play area. I just ensured I wiped my kid's hands before we left and did a full shower. I recommend long pants at least because there is a slide and I think it bothered my kid a bit, he was in shorts. Toys were all organized and put in place. By the time kids started to roll in... toys were EVERYWHERE. - GO EARLY - Oh my goodness, it gets VERY chaotic. And the amount of kids there are, along with PARENTS NOT WATCHING THEIR CHILD(REN) is ridiculous. Yes, I know it can be a space for them to do their work... but it was VERY SAD to see a (child) older sister, control and maintain her younger brother's tantrums. She came running every time he was upset/showed any sounds/expression of dissatisfaction - as he would kick the toys and even GRABBED my child at one point to take back a toy. I didn't even see the parent come deal with her son... Very sad thing to see.

We love everything Ninja Warrior, so as soon as my 9 yo son saw the warped-wall, he wanted to join…read more We attended a 90 minute fundraiser (only $20) for his elementary school and he had the best time. Made it up the smaller wall and we signed up for Flips & Tricks classes. The staff is THE BEST. My son has difficulty making/keeping friends and "doesn't like to talk to grownups", but he loves the staff here. As a middle-aged mom, I would call the coaches themselves "kods" because they are at least half my age, but they are AMAZING with my son. He "got hurt" his first class and yelled/cried, but the coaches let him have his feelings, got him ice, and taught him how to avoid that situation in the future. After only 2 official classes and 2 longer events, my son has more confidence and says that he "loves the coaches". Hopefully he will make some friends his own age soon too because they have the same love of literally jumping off walls. Photo from the Halloween event which was epic because I saw a ninja turtle and a pickle climbing the wall when I dropped my Little Dude off.

Kelsie and her crew (Sophia, Rebecca & Mattie) did a phenomenal job for my granddaughter's 1st birthday party. Kelsie herself was a complete blessing!!! She is an amazing & very thorough party planner. From the first phone call inquiry, answering all my questions and kept me in the loop for anything else via email or phone call until the party date. When you read, with the VIP package all you need to do is show up with your child, that's literally all you have to do! The food and beverages were excellent choices. Everyone from children to adults enjoyed themselves! Thank you again Kelsie & crew for a wonderful, stress free celebration! We'll see you again in February for my other granddaughter's 4th birthday!

What we didn't appreciate was how poor their attitude was with the children. There were two separate tables for a party with younger kids and parents. The staff scolded the kids multiple times for going back and forth between their tables. The kids weren't even rowdy or running. I understand there's a lot of delicate pottery around, but there are nicer ways to say it. I definitely wouldn't bother coming to this location if I had kids. I'm going to assume both employees are owners here as there's no way a store would keep employing people with such sour attitudes at a place like this.

I celebrated my son's birthday here in February and, at the time, the experience was fine. We were…read moreeven given a card for a complimentary return visit, which we decided to use as an end of school celebration for the kids. Before coming, I called the day before to ask about the timing and any restrictions. At no point was I told that my 6 year old daughter would not be allowed to enter during Toddler Hour. Had I been informed, I would have planned differently. When we arrived, my daughter was told she could not participate because she was too old. She was understandably disappointed and confused about why she was being excluded. We accepted the rule and decided we would sit together and do crafts while the younger children played. Surprisingly, we were then told she could not even enter the space with us. What I find most frustrating is the lack of practical consideration. The younger children were sold tickets and are not allowed to be left unattended, yet my older child was not permitted to remain with us. The policies seemed to contradict one another and left us in an impossible situation. I completely understand having age based rules and designated toddler play times. My issue is not the policy itself. My issue is that it was never communicated when I specifically called ahead to ask, and there was no effort made to find a reasonable solution once we arrived. The result was a very disappointed child and a family celebration that quickly turned stressful. On principle, I found the experience unsupportive and unnecessarily rigid. I left feeling disappointed by the customer service and the lack of empathy shown in handling what could have been a simple situation.

I recently visited Wonders of Dinosaurs with my family to take my three-year-old nephew, and…read moreunfortunately it was not worth the money. The space has two floors -- one floor is strictly jumping castles, and the other floor has mini rides and mini golf. The issue is that the rides and mini golf cost additional money on top of the admission price ($2 per ride). It's about $30 for a child and $10 for an adult just to get in, so having to pay extra for most of the activities felt excessive. There was also only one employee working the entire floor with the rides and mini golf, which made things feel understaffed and unorganized. Cleanliness was another big concern. There were crumbs and dirt all over the floors, and the men's restroom changing station was very dirty -- the baby changing platform was especially unpleasant. Overall, this place did not feel like a good value for the price. I wouldn't recommend it, especially considering the additional costs and lack of cleanliness.

But surprisingly, our favorite exhibit was the nursery where it's a research lab where they brew up algae, breed seahorses, and all sorts of nature preservation projects. Definitely worth a walkthrough. Did I mention it's free to come here? But you can also donate and by all means, should donate, cause this is a precious institution that should remain for future generations to come.

Not only is it educational, but it's a great place for the whole family and it's free. You can of course make a donation but it's such a great spot to come too. You can bring your lunch and just hang. What's so neat about this place is that it's next to the Marina and there's a cool park in the same area so you can hit the water and swings area and have a picnic. As you enter they are so friendly and will answer your questions if you have any. You can also become a member and they have their perks as well. You can also get a tour with someone who works there and you can also go on your own and at your own pace. But everyone here is FRiENDLY! The bathrooms were very clean and they even had 2 big bathrooms with changing tables and for the family as well enough room for all. The displays, information and the real life bones and all they have of the whales, sharks and history and facts is so mind blowing and really keeps you interested even if you are young and older as well. So many fun facts and animals to see. Lots of cool fish and sea creatures that you can admire and just mind blowing that these were created for us to enjoy and research and some even make us laugh. The whole place was just great all around from inside to the outside just so many cool features and even a cool area for the infants and toddlers to read books, touch cool animals and just dive into fun facts. As you end your day there there is a cool shop you can get some fun stuff and snacks as well. Dangerous place to take the kids ha ha.. they have some cool squishies and fun stuffies that they will want. The prices are reasonable but for a good cause for sure. I can't wait to be back. Def a cool spot to come hang with the whole family. Parking is $3 for 1 hr and if you stay a bit longer it's ok they don't check. Bring your lunch and come hang here.

I really appreciate Sheila's help coordinating and planning the party. Everything went smoothly. She was very helpful with the flow and made announcements. This helped the guests stay with the program. There was also a bracelet station for kids to enjoy. That was a fun bit. The decorations were beautiful! All the kids loved it. I'll definitely keep this place in mind when it's time to plan our kids' birthdays again! The place is on the smaller side so I'd recommend it for a party of 50-60 guests. I do like the size of the play area being a bit small so the kids are easier to spot. ZoomiZoomi is located on the second floor, right by Dick's Sporting Goods.

No matter how hard you try to Google map this location, the exact location won't show. The Google map will just show you that it is somewhere in the mall. Keep in mind that Del Amo Mall is a huge mall. We learned the hardware by parking 1/4 mile away. The way we found out is we had to look at a touch map inside the mall. It was quite confusing because the legend is not stationary, it rotates 180 degrees from your location. Always remember it is by Dicks Sporting Goods, nothing else. This place is hidden on the 2nd floor. It looks like a store. Deceiving looks from the outside. Arrived at this location which we were greeted for checkin under the birthday boys name. You must take off your shoes to enter, so make sure you have clean socks on. The other way is to wear some plastic booties, but it is frowned upon. That option is usually used as a last resort, like not wearing socks. The party was private, you can only have 1 party at a time. You self cater your food and drinks to the gathering. You can even bring a cooler with alcoholic beverages! Which is a plus for grown adults. Social and gathering with adult beverages males the conversation sweeter. This place is not like a chuckie cheese, it is more intimate with a core family since it is private. Its small so it may seem tight to move around. Place accommodates a jungle playground with plastic balls. Enough for the little ones to be entertained. There is one host that works there to assist with the games, food and photography (someones cellphone). That worker is very helpful. The other host works at the front counter for admission. Also you can even hire a character to visit and play games. Surprise appearance by Sonic! Woot woot! Overall, it is small and private. Good enough for 50 people. I will throw a small gathering here on a rainy day, cold or Superhot day only. There is nothing a public park cant provide that zoomi offers. Especially on a warm comfortable day. :) Lots of parking at the mall. Friendly helpful workers (only 2 of them). The 2 negative things is that stood out is removal of shoes and 1 restroom to use. Overall this place will get the job done to celebrate an ntimate birthday party. Fun fun ! Package pricing is unknown, I was not the host but assume it was a good deal since 90% of the party resources was purchased outside of the venue. Comfortable, cozy and small.
