The parking lot is small but not an issue on the weekdays. There is parking on the streets but it's limited due to permits. The soft play room is a really nice feature that is open Monday-Saturday and is FREE (unlike those in Alexandria). The hours during the week are 8ish-7ish but they close between 2-4pm. Saturday's it's 8ish-4:45pm with no midday closure. I went on a weekday during Thanksgiving week and it was overwhelmingly crowded with children and nannies. Around 12 it cleared out and we got it mostly to ourselves. While there is an employee in the room, she wasn't really monitoring children. Neither were their caregivers and I had to rescue my son multiple times from unruly children. My son is at the age where he loves to crawl around and explore so I'm glad to have this free resource so close to me!

It's hard to get a parking spot here because of the career center. This is one of their smaller format stores where 3/4 of the space is given over to clothing and all the merchandise and housewares are featured on short aisles towards the rear. The store itself is really cluttered and all the shoes and knickknacks are piled on top of the clothing racks. The reason for two stars is that they will not let you use the bathroom here. We were told we had to walk across the bridge and use the McDonald's. Not my favorite Goodwill, nor did we find anything worthwhile

We were greeted by 3 staff members (apologies I don't remember their names). I initially thought this was just a venue to smash stuff but it was explained that this is a mental health venture aimed at spiritual healing. After signing the waivers and donning our PPE, we went in. The wooden structure isn't huge so you cant get running starts or make any long over hear arm movements, but it ended being just the right amount of space to get your smash on. Initially I was caught up in the novelty of smashing things, but a point in time came where that novelty faded and I found myself tapping into an aggression and emotion I did not go there with. It wasn't until I stood there out of breath with my hands sore that I truly understood what this place was for. That session provided a space and avenue for me to truly let go, for just a little bit. If you haven't done that recently (or ever), you need to book a session to understand what im talking about. A challenge was issued to me to put in work on the water heater and I made a decent hole in it but that thing was tough. They sure don't make em like they used to.

Great experience at Remix Rage Smash Room. I visited a few weeks ago based on a Groupon that I had…read more The staff was extremely helpful in organizing my session and preparing for my appointment. The site was well furnished with safety gear (goggles, gloves, etc.), tools (bats, sledgehammers, etc.) and objects to smash (microwave oven, water heater, glass bottles, etc.). It was stress relieving and fun with the opportunity to damage and destroy inanimate objects in a normally civilized world. I definitely recommend if in the DMV area.

Normally the 2 volunteers that take me back are not chatty with me (but are with each other) and neither really seem interested in helping me - I believe Diane and Mattes. Nice enough people but they just seemed a bit annoyed or bored or both, seemingly every time we were there. That all changed the last time I was in, which was a few weeks ago and had 2 different people help me. They were volunteers Valerie and Lisa (purple hair). They both seemed excited to show me the dogs (and Valerie had helped me in the cat room - although there were only 2 cats and one was adopted!). Those two ladies were funny, cheerful and and answered all of our questions. Ended up not adopting but they said that was OK - I could come as many times as I wanted until I found the right dog (or cat).

I feel like they try to get to know each animal and support folks who are fostering as much as possible. I can't speak to the adoption side, but they seem very accommodating to that as well, trying to find the best fit and take time to understand the behavioral info that I shared with them. For fostering, it is our call if we want to meet potential adopters at the shelter and elsewhere - this can be a little confusing but I think it's better to have those in-depth conversations with those who have spent more all-day/all-night one-on-one time in advance of meeting of creatures.
