Visited Space Club with my kid for open play, and overall it was a really fun experience--my child…read moreabsolutely loved it and stayed happily engaged the entire time. Check-in and check-out are very fast and efficient. Once you've created an account on their website, you simply provide your phone number at check-in and again at check-out, and that's it. You can use the credit card on file or choose a different payment method. The only thing that wasn't very clear was how the lockers work. You need to bring your own lock if you want to secure one. We didn't have a lock, and I didn't see many lockers actually locked, but we had no issues. A quick explanation at arrival would have been helpful. In terms of cleanliness, I actually had a very positive experience. During the two hours we were there, I saw multiple staff members actively cleaning the space several times, including common areas and play zones. That said, beads in the bead room do tend to scatter everywhere. While the space was generally clean, the loose beads can be a potential slipping or choking hazard and could benefit from closer monitoring. Outside food and drinks are allowed, which is a huge bonus compared to other indoor play spaces that require you to purchase everything from their café. The café itself is nice, spacious, and clean. High chairs are available, and there's plenty of seating for adults to relax while kids play. The bathrooms are spacious as well, though not all of them have changing tables. Overall, Space Club offers tons of engaging activities and clearly succeeds at keeping kids happy--mine had an amazing time and ran around nonstop for the full two hours we were there. I also appreciated how warm and cozy it felt on a frigid winter day. It's open seven days a week, 365 days a year, which is especially great for school closure days that fall on a Monday when many museums and other attractions are closed. We'll definitely be back.

My little one loved exploring each floor, diving into the ball pits, wading in the bead pit, jumping on the trampolines and peeling stickers to put on the wall in the glow in the dark room. The bathrooms were spacious and had some thoughtful items to use. I liked that there were lockers for your items and shoes and the rest of the space could be explored in the socks. We were there for hours and my little guy couldn't get enough. We had a great time as birthday party guests. We also received a pair of their branded socks which were super grippy and very appreciated. Later on, we checked out the food on offer and got a chance to try one of their fruit drinks (bought the yellow one) and we enjoyed the refreshing taste. Overall we had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to go back again! Wish they made one closer to South Brooklyn (hint hint)!

I personally have high standards that is nothing compared to what I expect for my little ones and this definitely deserves five stars. There are two gym rooms, a kitchen for cooking classes, dance studio for ballet, hip hop & karate, and the student to teacher ratio will be 6:1 depending on the class. The classes are structured and if you sign up early (which we did) you get free play passes. I know it's too early to tell, but I'm sold!

There is a lot to love about Court 16 in Brooklyn…read more 1. First and foremost, the staff. They are amazing, kind, and attentive. My son and I felt comfortable the moment we walked in. We went there for an event and the staff ensured everyone was taken care of and had a wonderful time. 2. The location. The courts are located on the 4th floor of City Point and what makes that cool is you can explore shopping, food, and movies before or after your tennis session, all within the same building. We did just that and it added to the experience. 3. The cleanliness of the facility. Everything from the courts to the restrooms were top notch. 4. The trainers. We got to meet and work with a couple of different trainers. They were engaging, warm, and could clearly teach any level. I have been playing tennis for years and still walked away learning something new. I love when that happens. Thank you to everyone @ Court 16 - Brooklyn for being amazing. My son is now asking for us to go play some tennis together....

She wants her birthday parties and her graduation party here... which are both coming up this year in June and December. I lost count the number of times I have taken her here. The games and rides are currently all 1 pt to play, which is very nice. Although the food is not the best, it is pricey, but we always end up buying their pizza, cheesy bread sticks, and popcorn. Also had purchased their chicken wings, chicken finger/tenders and gotten their reusable soda cup. We always bring back the cup to get unlimited free drinks (which is a great perk). My daughter love hugging and dancing with their mascot Chuck E Cheese. He comes out every 20-30 mins or so, or maybe longer, I wasn't counting. But in the time span that we stay there, Chuck E cheese came out like 3-4x. I love that parents get to enter for free and you just spend money on what you want you child to play. They also have a soft play space, that is additional purchase, but that soft play space is kind of small. Smaller than the one at Land-of-Fun. I recommend the soft play at Land-of-Fun if that is what you are looking for. Otherwise, this is a great spot for ticketed games, birthday parties, seeing Mascot Chuck E cheese and the kiddie rides. The place loses one star for lack of cleanliness, some time overly crowded and over price food options. Otherwise, it would get 5 stars. I do recommend this establishment - and they do have numerous location throughout the NYC and NJ area.
