The Shop has a cool stamp for those that mark thier books for notes like I do. Easily became one of favorite spots in Chandler.

The center offers educational programs, activities for all ages, opportunities to learn about green living, they offer a seed library where you can pick up three packets per month, and check out their different exhibits. The center is clean, open, well taken care of and offers the Owl's Nest Nature store. The store offers postcards, soaps, clothing, glassware, pet accessories, non-perishable food items, books and more. You can purchase items and pay with Visa, MC, American Express and cash. The staff are very helpful and I had the opportunity to speak to the one the staff- Derek. They were super pleasant and helpful in explaining what the center offers. I was informed the Native Plant Oasis volunteering occurs every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 9am-12pm, and you are able to drop in. You can help with the maintenance, display garden beds, native seed harvesting beds, and a learn about native plants. I think this is an amazing opportunity to be a part of.

Apon arrival we checked in and signed our waivers. We had to purchase socks and at 4.99 a pair - this feels like a cash grab.. I digress. It was after lunch and we were all hungry so we ordered two pizzas. Now for $25 a pizza I'm expecting a decent sized pizza and with quality toppings etc. unfortunately our pizzas came out burnt and were very small for$25.. the staff also gave us grief about ordering another pizza because " we already had two why do we need another" words from staff. Unfortunately this really bummed me out considering we are here for my sons birthday!! I let this go in the moment because the place was staffed with just teenagers and all of them had attitudes so I wasn't going to complain to them when I doubt I would have gotten any real help. This location itself doesn't have that many attractions like the website shows the other locations having more options like slides etc. the foam in the pits were old looking and lots were torn into making it seem a bit more dirtier.. some of the courses had broken parts that didn't work exactly how it should have. Over all for my sons birthday party being held here in still super disappointed in the treatment from staff and the lack of care for the equipment there. I don't think we would recommend this place ..

The main staples are still there - rock climbing wall, dodgeball court, jousting, basketball, gymnastic bounce/pit, and main trampoline area. The tall towers, harnessed trampoline, gravity wall, skywalk and miscellaneous arcades remain as well. But they've added a massive amount of climbing areas, general seating, and party rooms. The kid/toddler play area is pretty massive in itself - about as big as other places' main areas. But they'll they have a massive four level main climbing area. Truly massive. They also added an obstacle course that is pretty big and nice. The party rooms look very nice as well (previously you'd just have a table on the side). Here on a Sunday and they have the NFL games on for the parents. Lol. The bad. The bathrooms are crap. Either missing doors, without TP, or without paper towels. Floors are a bit dirty looking -could use a buffing clean. As for price, get the Groupon! Do not pay full price you schmucks. We literally bought ours while at the desk.

Lots of cubbies to store shoes and bags. A good size open space with lots of different play area. With the openness you can see everywhere. The 2-5 year olds had a great time on the trampoline, dressing up, play on the ride on toys, and playing hide and seek. The 1 year old still not a walker options were limited, but still crawled and watched every thing. I do agree with the lack of cleanliness review. It does need a good cleaning. You definitely need to wash your hands after playing here. No one did any in the 2 hours we were there. It was great that they had a snack area for the kids. Lots of tables, chairs, and even a microwave. They did have a broom, paper towels, and sink we just cleaned up after ourselves. This place is a great way to beat the heat and let kids run free in a safe space. The price is good and you can leave and come back if you get a stamp. I really like the cute artwork on the walls that was for sale. I would definitely recommend!

I was at the studio for 3 hours TWO different times, and all I did was let my brain go blank and paint and create with air clay. The vibe was so chill that I wish I could just stay there forever! The owner, Charlotte, is super sweet and was always open to chat. The most challenging part was really just mixing the right paint color to match the easily recognizable Sanrio pink and blue. When I got the color right, I was soooo happy and as if the dark clouds above my head were gone! Charlotte came to check on my artwork and I got a thumbs up! I just love this place so much and I will definitely come back again for some more art therapy!

Let's also pretend that the staff wasn't extremely friendly, extensively knowledgable on their product and obviously very into the collecting side themselves (I.E. They get excited when I say I want to open my blind box toys in the store to see what I got, and get excited when I get cool stuff, and that's cool to me). Shall we also pretend that it isn't really easy to find, oh, and pretend the store didn't have a really cool, industrial/urban art studio feel to it.... Ok, we all caught up in fantasy land? Well, that all aside, um... Let's see, the parking isn't that great. Seriously one of my favorite spots in Tucson, even if just to pop in for a second and say hi and see if they have any new swag. Keep up the great work lulubell's!!

There are "The Seven Wonders of the World" and then there are "The Seven Wonders of Tucson" and…read moreLulubell Toy Bodega my friends, is one of those seven wonders. Lulubell Toy Bodega is a bewitching, quaint shop seated on a tiny main road running parallel to downtown. It's closer to a more industrial area so unless you know it's there or you're observant while driving, you can easily pass it without knowing it exists. Here's some help: http://vimeo.com/11603704 They're known for their premium (and difficult to find) toys....And when I say premium, I mean prices ranging from practically nothing to the $200 and upward area. I'm not a collectible toy connoisseur but I don't think it's entirely unreasonable pricing considering the people who collect these toys are probably willing to drop that kind of cash. Personally, I'm a fan of their Blind Box toys, the Munny dolls and of course, the plush Domo dolls. Oh, but that's not all.... Lulubell Toy Bodega is a mecca for local artists. They frequently host shows where artists can display their art on their beautiful white walls. This not only enables artists to show their work to a public audience in a more professional manner but it also brings the community together. In other words, it gets those downtown kids out of the bars and into something more meaningful. The owners are so immersed in their customers that I don't actually know who they are; they blend in with everyone else at the shop! (I'll meet you someday Amy & Luke!) Lulubell Toy Bodega is, without a doubt, one of the best businesses in all of Tucson. It would be extreme to say a visit here is worthy of being on a bucket list, but then again, I'm an extreme type of girl. ;) Happy toy shopping!
