Where to start…read more Women's showers: Dirty. Got tolerable during initial covid phase but now worse and worse. The showers are irksome. Curtains are dirty. Hairballs in every shower stall. Mold. Rust. Pools: The individual member is not at all considered. It's all about groups that rent out the pools. Pools should have more hours for individual members. For those who work day jobs, very limited times to swim. Deming hardly available. Lap pool only available evenings when working only around swim practices. Martin pool is the only option in the evening but family pool time, so single adults have to exercise in between kids playing. Martin pool for the kids would be really fun but the slide and water buckets and floating path are pretty much always closed. The whirpool has hairballs constantly and does not ever look clean anymore. Stopped using altogether. Lifeguards are mostly antisocial. Do not even make eye contact with people. Exceptions of course but this is the norm. Ambler is a much better option, but farther away. I am writing this review because feedback to the staff has gone nowhere. I have spoken to several regular members who feel the same way. Unfortunate.

When lockdown started, my husband and kids surprised me with a Mother's Day Art project (modge podge saucer and teacup with stones and and a sweet little succulent) that they had delivered from the Doodlery and worked on at home! I absolutely love that we can still enjoy the creativity that the Doodlery has to offer even when we are at home. We love the Doodlery!

They genuinely want what's best for each child and it's evident. I was really nervous to send my 4 year old to a school, and I'm so glad I did! The Hopwood School has provided the most loving and amazing start for my child's educational journey. I also have my degree and teaching experience in early childhood education, and I highly recommend it.

In other words, there's something for every kid. (All staff is is certified in First Aid and at least one who is on campus at all times is certified in CPR.) It's a good feeling knowing your child is in safe hands. Cannot recommend Hopwood highly enough.

In the heart of Abington, and about a hundred yards away from the Roslyn train station, you can…read morefind Briar Bush, a hidden nature preserve tucked away on Edge Hill road. With scenic walking trails, an outdoor classroom, day camps and a small indoor animal habitat, Briar Bush is a great spot for small children, couples on a date, or anyone looking for a brief respite from the urgency of the modern world. With free admission for locals and a small fee for out-of-towners, the preserve is accessible to all patrons provided that they are able to walk down some wooded trails that circle through the admittedly short walking routes. The centerpiece of the trails is a picturesque, secluded pond with benches for sitting and an interactive sign with information on the local fauna and flora. The indoor animal habitat has a small gift shop, pamphlets on upcoming events and information on other parks in the area, and several interesting animals such as a blind possum named Odin, a bearded lizard named Karl, and several other unique turtles and reptiles. All of Briar Bush can be walked through in an hour or so, but the low admission, interactive nature events and scenic walking trails will have you wanting to return again soon.

Since the beginning, the owner has treated our family with respect and has exemplified that they are more than qualified to own, teach, compete, and do much more in the field of dance. I'm shocked by the previous review considering the fact that the recital outfits we've purchased have never exceeded $40. Furthermore, bc of my daughter's age she wasn't asked to have her hair or make up done, and I'm sure we all know that most studios require the use of cosmetics and an up-do of sorts. In addition to the low cost of recitals, the cost of tuition and the summer dance camp is more than manageable. Most recently they began selling the leotards, shoes and tights they ask the students to wear and have done their due diligence for their customers to find the cheapest and best products so we don't have to. As always, though, someone has to find something to complain about, right?

So this is a rating on just this one. First of all the complex needs more parking. There were event's taking place in all three venues and it was almost impossible to find a space. There was limited seating in the building for spectators. It consisted of one small bench, which means that you had to stand throughout the game. I realize that this is ice hockey, but the room was very cold. On a positive note, the ice looks like it was well maintained, with the maintenance people cleaning up the ice between games.

When I picked up my 8 month old puppy she was so desperate to pee and poo, she went on the sidewalk in front of their building. She was so thirsty she was panting and needed water immediately. I sent food but she did not eat there. To compound the problem, Communication is awful. They don't let you into the space. You stand on the sidewalk - they crack open the door and pull her in or give you the leash to take her out. You get 1 email a week with some photos and videos. They don't appear to read the form you fill out and don't discuss goals. I told them that my puppy has had training since birth, but their first video was showing me how to hold a leash. The second video was of a different dog being trained - they said my dog was tethered watching. Throughout the entire video I could hear her crying. No one attempted to soothe her at all. I provided constructive input verbally and in writing by email. Despite my bad experience at the City School, I was still interested in the Farm School. I went to the open house and they were much more transparent about what a typical day looks like there. But before the evaluation day (which is separate from the City School evaluation), they called me to say that they were cancelling the evaluation because I am not a good fit for their program. They said it had nothing to do with my dog, who is a very sweet Labrador, it is because I am not "aligned" with them. They were not willing to even listen to why I thought the Farm School would be a better fit than the City School, saying that the decision had been made "by senior management" and it is not worth wasting time talking about it. Wow!
