The owner went above and beyond to make the party so special, and it was. It was my last true happy memories with my mother, so this place means the world to me. After years of coming here, the owner has always greeted us so nicely and has been so accommodating. We love her and the little town she has built

We went…read moreon the free day (first Friday of the month), but with that free ticket you only get 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon before the place closes, so it's a great taster to make you want to come again! Our kids ages 2 to 7 all had a great time! There was so much to do, from walking through the river and doing water play, to sand play in the pretend lake, to crafts (that we didn't have time for), to climbing equipment, and building/engineering/physics activities. Plenty of things to do both indoor and outdoor. The physics section is great for older kids too, even middle school (but the rest of the museum is definitely geared to elementary).

The Kidspace Museum in Pasadena is one of the better children's interactive museums we've been to…read more It has a huge, shared parking lot near Rose Bowl Stadium. Outside, there are two adjacent outdoor kid's playgrounds. Near the entrance they have juice and fruit vendors and a balloonist. Entry fee is very reasonable at under $50 for family of three with in-and-out privileges. Inside the museum, its like 80% outdoor exhibits and 20% indoor. They have an onsite cafe and food vendors throughout. The outdoor exhibits has a park area dedicated to physics. You'll see fans, pulleys, etc. to help your child appreciate scientific concepts while having fun. They also have tie-dye stations, climbing structures, tricycle race tracks, live music, and my son's favorites - the sandbox and pretend farmer's market and veggie patch. I noted lots of friendly staff dressed as camp rangers working with the kids and maintaining order with a smile, which is huge. Inside the buildings, you'll see traditional kid activities like toy trains, quiet reading areas, legos, and even more climbing structures. Looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area. The in-and-out policy is nice since they have lots of nearby offsite restaurants in nearby Old Pasadena.

And honestly, best decision. The second we walked in, she just froze. Then started running around, pointing at everything like she owned the place. The bouncy house and slide combo had her completely gone. I literally sat down, opened my laptop, and got two hours of actual work done, with real WiFi. I mean, come on. You could easily spend the entire day here. There are comfortable couches to lounge on, great picnic tables with high chairs, and you can bring whatever food you want, which is such a game-changer. No overpriced snack bar guilt. Just pack what you need and stay as long as you want. And the music is actually great, not just kids music, real music that the adults can enjoy too. It makes such a difference. We loved it so much that when her birthday came around, it was a no-brainer. She's really into Mario Brothers right now, so we went all in on the theme, and the decorations were amazing. Like genuinely impressive. But what I remember most is that I did nothing. The staff handled everything, and they were so warm about the whole thing, not in a corporate way, just real. Other reviewers say the same thing, and they're not exaggerating. For anyone who has ever stress-spiraled while planning a kids party, trust me on this one. What I wasn't expecting was how much I'd love the space itself. I'm kind of an architecture nerd, and this building is gorgeous, old, historic, with these incredible vaulted ceilings. It doesn't feel like a typical kids gym at all. Apparently, it's been used as a filming location for both Shameless and The Office, and honestly, that tracks completely. It has that kind of soul to it. The neighborhood is great, too. Amazing restaurants and coffee shops right outside. We grabbed coffee, wandered through some shops, and came back. The whole day just flowed. Oh, and don't forget to bring socks for the adults. There's plenty of street parking, so that part is easy. It's the kind of place where you leave feeling like you both got something out of the day. That's not easy to find. If you haven't been yet, go. You'll wonder why it took you so long.

He was…read morecompletely obsessed with the bounce house and the soft play area, and honestly, he would've stayed in those two spots all day if I let him. The whole place was super clean and well taken care of, which is always a huge relief for a kids' spot. I was a little worried about finding parking, but there was actually plenty of street parking available when we went. To top it all off, they were playing some seriously cool music, which made hanging out there fun for me too instead of the usual annoying Disney tunes on loop. We'll definitely be back, it's a total lifesaver for burning off some serious toddler energy!

This place is really tiny. It's $12 for daily admission and it's hard to find parking in the area-…read morethey have 3 designated spots that are usually taken (prob bc that's the max amount of families that should be here at once). It's basically an old house. When you walk in to the left in the "dining room area" is a big table with a train track- my 18 mo old has zero interest in that so half the place is already not applicable to us. There is a tiny slide set to climb up that takes up the whole 2nd room. The 3rd room is stuffed to the brim with Nuggets- but the problem is that there are so many there isn't really enough room to spread them out and build anything with them- also, they smell :-/ no windows on the inside so as if it doesn't feel claustrophobic enough this makes it worse. If there are more than 4 kids in the whole place then it feels crammed- and gets loud. They do have a small outdoor area with a sand pit but you can find something better at the park. Overall not worth the trip over from Pasadena...

SPLAT Action Art Studio is a great creative spot in South Pasadena…read more Parking was easy with free parking available, plus additional parking in the back, which is always a big plus for families. Before the class starts, the instructor gives a clear demo, and throughout the session, there are screens showing techniques step-by-step, so kids can comfortably follow along and adapt at their own pace. Nothing feels difficult or intimidating. The instructor quietly walks around, making sure each child has what they need and offering support without interrupting their creative flow. They're attentive, calm, and truly professional. The pricing is a bit on the higher side, but totally worth it for the quality of instruction and support. Check for promotions or deals. Overall, it's a relaxed, well-organized space where kids can enjoy creating freely and parents can feel at ease. We had such a great experience and would definitely come back

They spend about 5 minutes going over some rules, and then it's just up to the kids to throw paint on the canvas. As expected, most kids put way too much paint on, so it ends up just being a dirty color blob of paint on the canvas. I wish that they spent a few minutes giving the kids ideas on what to do and tips for what looks good. However, there was none of that....

Everything is super colorful and set up in a way that actually keeps them entertained instead of getting bored after 10 minutes. One thing I really appreciated was how clean it was. That's always my biggest concern with indoor play places, and this one felt really well taken care of. The staff were also really nice and present without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. There's a good mix of things to do too--areas for younger kids and enough going on for slightly older ones so no one feels left out. It's one of those places where kids can just run around and be kids while parents can actually sit for a second and breathe. Overall, it just felt easy, fun, and stress-free. Definitely a spot I'd come back to or recommend to other parents looking to get their kids out of the house.

Plenty of seating for parents, and honestly, it's one of those rare places where both kids AND adults leave happy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, stress-free place to let the kids burn energy and have a blast. We'll definitely be back!

"Since I'm craving Jin tea (next door to this spot), let's go browse color me mine to see if there's anything I'd like to paint?" They charge a studio fee of $12 and then you pay for whatever the price amount of the ceramic you'd like to paint. My mug was about $24. I had my service pup Frida w/ me and they were super chill about it. The hack to this spot is to come on a weekday when it's dead for those who have that choice! I wasn't rushed and they came to check in on me regarding colors. I can't wait to see how it turned out as I was inpatient with myself towards the end xD

There are so many fun activities and play areas for kids of all ages, which made it perfect for our group. Every child had something exciting to do, and everyone had such a great time. One of the best parts was not having to worry about anything. Their team handled everything from start to finish, which made the experience completely stress-free and allowed us to actually enjoy the day. They also set up any theme you want beautifully and truly bring your vision to life. Everything looked incredible. The service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and great with the kids. They made sure everything ran smoothly and were always there when we needed anything. The catering was also fantastic. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great everything was. Overall, it was an incredible experience. Highly recommend Tickle Town 4Kids to anyone looking for a fun, well-run, and memorable place for kids and family

The location was clean, this includes the plane space and the seating area for adults. Another…read morepositive is that it didn't smell like feet. The food was above average, many options, but I didn't try a lot of items. The two employees, a teen boy and girl were very helpful with assisting the children, although they seemed young to be unsupervised. An area of concern for me was the food service/safety. I had ordered a hot beverage and it was brought to me without a lid and placed on the table. At that moment, my child reached over to grab food and spilled the entire hot drink on himself. Thank God, it was not serious and I was next to him able to assist him without needing medical attention by a professional. Being that it is a kids place, I wish they would implement lids for all hot drinks to avoid something like this in the future. I think this is also something that a supervisor could have noticed before the food got to the table and prevented.
