I would drive down to Barangas (for a fancy meal) or the ice cream place (for a cheap meal) instead. We did the bumper cars, outdoor laser tag, and miniature golf at Adventure Village. They were OK. Nothing to write home about. Our 8-year old daughter did the rock climbing wall too. The mini golf course was pretty short and the holes were not that impressive. The bumper cars were actually pretty fun despite the small area. The laser tag course was pretty big and they tell you who "won" at the end. Tip: You win by having the most hits, not by not getting hit.

However, everything was in working order and the attractions were reasonably priced. We didn't hit the concession stand, so I can't speak to that quality or pricing. The employees were engaged and seemed to enjoy being there. We've been to too many places similar to this where everyone working seemed to be a surly kid-hater. This place was NOT like that.

The place is well taken care of, though I think there was just one staff on the whole time we were there which is kind of crazy but the place ran like a well oiled machine. Great climbing structures, the toddler zone I thought would be boring for my 2.5 year old but it had soooo many toys for him to try out.

The other two (living room size rooms) were half empty and had a box full of old dress up clothes, a box of shabby stuffed animals in front of a tiny puppet stage, a built in play kitchen too high for young kids to play with, a pirate ship play structure (the suze of a king size bed) with a "broken- gentle" sign on it, and a few boxes of things to Build a toy house out of sponge stones and wood planks. It is not a museum and I would struggle to even call it a kids play area- the worst $9 I've spent. A kids cafe or playground has more to do. We left in 10 min. Not a museum and angry we wasted time traveling here- false advertising. It's a shabby house with a few old toys.

From what I understand this zoo started out as a big cat rescue, and because of that I expected the…read moreenclosures to be much higher quality than they actually were. For some reasons the goats had a significantly larger enclosure than the vast majority of the big cats. If the animals weren't asleep in the tiny bit of shade in their enclosures, they were pacing back and fourth (a clear sign of stress). None of the big cats had enough space to carry out any sort of natural behaviour, and there was no space for them to hide from visitors. I'm sure the owners of the zoo have good intentions, however they clearly have more animals than they can adequately handle, and, as a result, the animals majority of the zoo's residents seem to have a very poor quality of life and care.

At +CREATE, children explore clay, textiles, mixed media, and stop-motion animation in a welcoming, professional studio environment where creativity, confidence, and imagination come first. Our philosophy is simple: Small Groups, Big Imagination. With groups limited to approximately 10 participants, every camper receives individual guidance and the opportunity to work at their own pace while developing new skills and friendships. Choose from half-day or full-day camp options, with weekly programming that allows children to focus on clay, textiles, mixed media, or a combination of creative experiences. Campers staying for the full day enjoy a fully supervised lunch hour from 12:00–1:00 PM at our Cotton Factory studio. New for this season, we’re excited to expand our textile programming alongside our popular clay and mixed media studios. Youth ages 12 and up can also explore wheel throwing in our ceramic studio. Families receive 15% off additional registrations, whether enrolling siblings or booking multiple weeks of camp.

We booked a birthday party here for 11 children during an extreme heat wave, only to arrive and…read morediscover there was no air conditioning. We later learned the AC had reportedly been out of service for about two weeks, yet no one contacted us in advance to let us know or offer the option to reschedule. Had we known, we never would have brought a group of children into those conditions. An Orange Heat Alert was in effect, and both children and adults became overheated. Some showed signs of heat exhaustion, and the kids were struggling to participate. Instead of enjoying their birthday, they left sweaty and disappointed. To make matters worse, the staff member assigned to our party was called away to a lengthy staff meeting while we were the only party there. We struggled to get water refills when they were most needed. Mara was helpful whenever she was available, but overall the staff seemed unprepared, and no manager came to check on our group or address the situation. What was most disappointing wasn't just the broken AC--it was how the situation was handled. There was no advance warning, no apology from the GM, no effort to mitigate the conditions with fans, complimentary cold drinks, arcade passes, or any other accommodation. Customer safety and satisfaction should have been the priority. We paid a hefty price for a memorable birthday celebration and instead experienced an unsafe and deeply disappointing afternoon. I hope management takes responsibility for how this was handled so other families don't have the same experience.

The fees are a little bit less than at other gyms and I think this is due to the size of it. There are a decent number of top rope and lead climbing routes but only a few auto belays. The bouldering area was very squished due to a wall that separates everything else from it. It just felt like it was hard to walk without tripping over people essentially. They had a lot of projects up that were ungraded on one side of the wall. This was kind of interesting because it kind let you forget about any sort of level restrictions. Some of the grading they did have was interesting - they had had a "V minus"...as in less than 0. I'm not sure how one determines something is easier than a 0. As for some housekeeping, the front has a lot of coat hangers and a bench area for you to put on your shoes. There is a sink in this area too for quick handwashing. There are lockers up a set of stairs. They don't do any walk-in sort of belay training - check for special dates. They had a board up where you could contact other members for a belay partner which was pretty cool. All the staff were friendly too. Seems like a nice gym to be a part of!
