Five stars for their birthday parties…read more We've attended a couple birthday parties here now and they're always a blast. The woman who leads it has always been the same (and I feel terrible for not knowing her name.) She is high energy, great with kids, and her super power is knowing every child's name. It's amazing! The kids are led through a ton of different gymnastics courses that pretty much any age can do. My son is four and loved it. It's interactive enough that they usually aren't just standing in line waiting but always moving. The room upstairs is then used for food and cake time. Then back downstairs for free play, which the children always love. Parents can keep their shoes on, which I appreciate. Kids are barefoot. They always take a group picture that they organize so the birthday party walks away with a wonderful picture.

I went to watch my grandson have his weekly gymnastics class, and it was quite an adventure. This…read morewas my first time, and I was surprised at how crowded it was for the kids, yet it was very organized. I went upstairs to the sitting area for watching the kids below. It was very crowed up there, too. The class started on time, and for a small group of 2 years olds, they really got a workout. (and the parent too) The rule is, no one on the floor without a teacher and for the little ones, a parent also participates as an extra helper. There was a routine that the group went through, which included fun and challenging activities. They use a balance beam, a rock wall, a zip line into a foam pit, and a bunch of floor exercises. My grandson was very happy to be there, and I was really happy to have been able to come see him burn off lots of toddler energy. The parking area was quite crowded but there was enough parking and there was also a swim school attached to the gymnastics building. (He also does swim lessons, which he also loves.) The facility is not very modern but then, it has everything at reasonable prices.

I haven't been to the batting cage since I was a kid so I decided to be adventurous and go try it…read moreout again. This location was closer to us so we went in and there is a Yelp coupon for 20% off one batting cage round but I decided to save that for another time since we were going to rent a cage for an hour. This store is on the other side of Dollar Tree. The employees there were really nice and helpful. The rental included helmets and bats so that was nice. You have to miss a couple of shots before you get the hang of things but once you get to swinging, it will be hard to stop. The hour went by fast and it was split between three people. There is no max for the cage rentals so if you wanted to share it with 10 people, you could. There is also a gym and private training lessons there for anyone interested. I highly recommend and I plan to go back!

I would never entrust this place with the care of my child…read more Over the course of two consecutive days, my 6-year-old son was hit in the face with a dodgeball during camp. I completely understand that accidents happen and that kids get hurt while playing sports. We have had our children involved in sports since they were 3 years old, and we fully expect bumps and bruises. What is unacceptable is how the situation was handled. At no point did anyone call us, and the coach never mentioned that our son had been hit in the face. My son did tell the staff that he got hurt, yet no one offered him basic care or informed us about the incident when I picked him up. I only learned what happened because my son told me himself. Instead, they left it up to a 6-year-old to communicate what he needed. He's the youngest child there and, like many young children, he wanted to be tough in front of the older kids. Expecting a 1st-grader to recognize, communicate, and advocate for his own medical needs is simply not appropriate. For more than $250 a week for only a few hours of daily care, I expected the staff to take some initiative. Something as simple as offering ice or notifying a parent should be standard practice. What was even more disappointing was the owner's response. Rather than expressing concern or apologizing, I was told that because my son "didn't ask for anything," they didn't offer him anything. There was no acknowledgment that the situation could have been handled better, no commitment to improve their procedures, and ZERO empathy. Instead, the owner seemed offended that I raised the concern and told me my reaction was unfair. This review is not about a child getting hurt. It's about the complete lack of responsibility, care, and accountability shown afterward. When parents leave their children in your care, they trust you to look after them--not to rely on a 6-year-old to decide when he needs help. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this academy to any parent looking for a place that prioritizes the safety and well-being of young children.
