    If you grew up before Roblox, this place feels like human Tetris in the best way possible! We visited during my kids' spring break, and it was such a fun, high-energy experience. We did two rounds at 18 minutes each, and it honestly felt like just two minutes of nonstop cardio an amazing workout without even realizing it. The customer service was excellent, and the staff were super helpful and welcoming. The bathrooms were clean, and parking was easy on a weekday, which made the visit even smoother. We're already thinking this could be a great spot for my son's future birthday party. One helpful tip: the staff mentioned weekends can get fully booked without reservations, so definitely plan ahead. Overall, a five-star experience and we'll absolutely be back!

    Wow this place was amazingly fun! Coming from out of town to visit family in SD I saw this and thought it would be fun to get the fam together and play! I saw they only had 2 locations: SD & NY. I also saw price differences on their websites Child/Adults/Gamer. So I emailed them to get it clarified. They responded promptly and also provided me a discount code. I purchased a total of 8 Gamers. We arrived about 15mins earlier than our scheduled 1pm. Everyone in our party had already signed the waivers ahead of time so we actually ended getting started earlier than our scheduled 1pm start. The lady that was there was kind she gave us a small run down. They provided free lockers. They sold snack and drinks. Prior to the games there's also an introductory video that they play for game rules. Green=Safe, Red=loose lives, Blue=you have to clear to move on. It was so much fun, great team building and great physical workout, be prepared to sweat!!!! lol So much screams, laughter, excitements and panics trying to stay away from the red blocks. As the levels increase the Red blocks become more challenging to avoid. Wear something comfortable and closed toe shoes. The place is clean and staff really friendly! I would definitely recommend and would love to play again!

    So much fun!! The whole family came (2 kids 11 and 8) and the games and puzzles were so cool to try and complete. We are leaving tired, a bit sweaty, and ready to come back again. Check this place out!

    5th grader fun!

    If you have active kiddos who like to run around & play, this is a fun activity. And actually while we were there, there were actually adults playing too! We went for a bday celebration. Girls were 10 years old and enjoyed the hour we spent. Games are about 18minutes each, multiple rounds of stepping on colored blocks to beat the timer (& not lose lives stepping on the wrong color. They came out laughing (& sweaty)! Bring or buy a snack and some water/gatorade in between games!

    If you are looking for a spot to use up a ton of energy and fire up all of your competitive friends, this is the spot. My husband booked a session for a small group of us to play together in one of the rooms. Our host was super friendly and even offered to take a picture of us before we started so we wouldn't look so sweaty after playing. She clearly went over all the directions, made sure we knew the safety rules, and let us play through our first session. The game is super fun. We did the speed round where the room will have different patterns and your goal is to tap all the blue tiles while avoiding the red tiles. Each level got more and more intense as you go, and it was fun to try and finish each round as fast as possible. We had a blast! After our first session, we took a break while they set up the next session, and our host asked if we preferred to do a puzzle version of the game. We tried it out and had so much fun with that as well! The room will show you a pattern and your goal is is to try and figure out how to complete that pattern with only one "life". It was a great challenge and helped us slow down to watch and see what would be the best way to get through the puzzle. I had such a fantastic time and am hoping they continue to open up more locations all around. This would be great for children, teens, and adults alike. We were all adults, but I could totally see this for team building, birthday parties, weekend activities, etc. My only regret is not taking pictures or a video of the room myself because I put everything away in the lockers since the rooms look so cool! I strongly recommend this spot!

    Easy to book, easy to find, and SO much fun! Welcome Way to get the wiggles out when we needed a break from the sun. Reasonable price for the memories and team-building. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. This type of activity would be SO beneficial in Seattle, where there are plenty of hyperactive kids and unpredictable weather....hint to the owners!

    Fun for the whole family, our kids didn't want to leave! We took our 5 and 8-year-old to Squarena in Solana Beach. It's such a unique concept -- a giant interactive digital playground that kept both of our kids fully engaged (and burning off tons of energy!) for well over an hour. The games and activities are creative, immersive, and super kid-friendly. It felt safe, clean, and well-run, which gave us peace of mind as parents. Bonus: since it's indoors, this is the perfect option for rainy days or when you need a break from the park or beach. Highly recommend for families looking for something fun and a little different in North County.

    The venue is clean and new! The game rooms work well. They move FAST! You NEED to wear good shoes and clothes to move in. There's a speed level and a puzzle level to change up the pace

    We had the best time at Squarena for Father's Day! First of all, booking was super easy. We had to email and reschedule last minute. The customer service team responded within 20 minutes and was being super flexible. We brought the kids (3yoa to 8yoa), the father and the grandfather to play. Everyone had a blast! We got the larger room to fit 8 of us and it didn't feel crowded at all. The games and levels are very well designed that to be fun and challenging enough for both the 3yoa and the 70yoa grandpa. Everyone walked out with a huge smile and a sweaty face. The place is spotlessly clean. Although the game room was exciting, it was helpful that the lobby/rest area was cool and calm. Also happy to see a nice party room there for events. Will definitely go back! Bonus point, Bongiorno's pizzeria is one block away!

The biggest downside for me was unfortunately not the place itself, but some of the parenting. A lot of parents seemed to use the time to relax and stay glued to their phones while their kids ran into other children, grabbed toys from them, or just caused chaos without anyone stepping in. I also wasn't impressed with the staff. In my experience, they came across as pretty unfriendly and didn't really interact with the kids at all. For a place centered around children, I expected the staff to be a little more welcoming, engaged, and involved. I like the concept and the play areas, but I found myself having to correct other kids because their parents weren't paying attention. With more attentive parenting and a friendlier, more engaged staff, this could easily be a much better experience.

They've become like family to us, and this place truly feels like our second home. And the moms? We've built such a little community here. We share tips, tricks, and support--everything from where the best fenced-in parks are to how to get free caregiver passes for places like the zoo or SeaWorld. It's a safe space not just for the kids, but for us too. If you're thinking about checking it out--do it. You won't regret it. This place is special.

    My friend held her daughter's 1st bday party here. The party was beautifully decorated (my friend…read moretold me that they handle set up and breakdown), so you don't have to worry about anything other than attending! I will say the only downside of this venue is that it's not really optimized for parties (which makes sense bc their main gig is the play area for the kids - and they have plenty of room to run around). Seems like you can bring your own food/drinks in which is really nice! There isn't that much space available for the adults/bystanders. The staff were really friendly, and welcomed us right when we walked in. Checked us in and explained the rules of the playground (shoes off, socks on), restrooms were outside in the hall (keys available at front desk).

    We booked this venue for my daughter's 7th birthday, and I can confidently say it was one of the…read moremost disappointing and stressful experiences we've ever had. The only positive is the indoor playground. Everything else from customer service to the baking activity was a complete letdown. The front desk staff was extremely rude to multiple guests while checking waivers (who gave us feedback afterwards). Instead of welcoming families, they acted irritated and dismissive. From that moment on, it felt like they were more focused on catching us break rules than providing even basic customer service. We paid $17 per child for 20 kids for the baking activity, and it was terrible. Several parents shared that the staff told children to "stand still or you won't get your cake pop" . Only two parents were allowed inside to supervise 20 kids. All kids were crammed around one table despite several empty tables sitting unused in kitchen. Kids were shoulder-to-shoulder while staff watched sternly. My daughter even said it was the "worst birthday ever," which was heartbreaking. On top of the $500+ facility fee and $340 baking charges, we agreed on $150 cleaning fee because we decided to bring outside food. We were provided only (1) table for food, and when we asked for additional tables for food and kids art, we were told they "didn't have any." They suggested placing the kids' artwork right next to the food. The nickel-and-diming continued nonstop... In addition, we paid: $20 each for two toddlers who stayed in the playground $50 extra for five adults (we exceeded the capacity of 40 guests) We had to push our guests out (it was embarassing!!) since we were told we would be charged $50 per 10 minutes if we went over the extremely tight 10-minute cleanup window. They do not allow decor on wall or even outside balloons, which is absurd for a kids' party venue. They sell the decorations in house though. By the end, I felt like we spent the entire party being watched, policed, and corrected rather than supported. Staff members hovered pointing out "rules" instead of helping create a good experience for the kids. BOTTOM LINE: The playground may look fun, but the staff, policies, and overall experience are terrible. Save yourself the headache, frustration, and unnecessary fees. Book your party somewhere else!!
