From the moment we walked in, everything was spotless--the entrance, bathrooms, and play areas were all incredibly clean and well maintained. The entire facility is thoughtfully designed and very well organized. A special shoutout to Cora and the kitchen staff, who were absolutely amazing! Since it was our first visit, Cora took the time to walk us through the layout and answer all of our questions. The food was fresh, delicious, and exceeded our expectations. As an added bonus, they have Wi-Fi! I was able to get some work done while my toddler had a blast playing. Highly recommend this place--we'll definitely be coming here from now on!

During the event, as I was gathering my belongings and waiting for guests, Cora repeatedly…read morepressured us to leave, even threatening to call the police if we did not comply. Her insistence created an incredibly stressful environment, which made it difficult for us to enjoy the occasion. When I was addressed by the wrong name, which is traditionally male, I found this further added to the discomfort and confusion. 2. Inappropriate Behavior: Cora's approach to managing the facility raised significant concerns. She often interacted directly with the children rather than their parents, attempting to remove them from certain play areas without appropriate communication. This not only caused distress for the kids but also negatively affected the overall atmosphere of the event. 3. Concern for Staff Stability: Cora's behavior seemed erratic and unprofessional, leading me to question her suitability for a role that involves overseeing a facility frequented by children. There have been multiple complaints about her in the review section, yet management continues to retain her despite the concerns raised. 4. Lack of Cleanliness and Misinformation: The venue was not cleaned adequately until we requested it several times, and we received conflicting information throughout the event regarding our package details and restrictions. The pizza we got were half burned and soaked in oil just gross

It's a…read moregreat spot for kids since it's very interactive and packed with a variety of activities to keep them engaged. From building stations to interactive rides and play zones, there's plenty to do and explore, especially for younger LEGO fans. The space is colorful, energetic, and well-designed for kids to use their imagination and burn off some energy. Staff were friendly and the experience felt well-organized overall. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 mainly because it can get pretty crowded at times, and some areas felt a bit rushed when it was busy. Still, it's a solid option for a family outing, especially on a rainy day or when you're looking for something different to do with kids.

I am extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and overall operations at this gym…read more The woman working at the front desk today was very rude and spoke in a condescending tone. Normally my husband takes our daughter to her class, but he had a dentist appointment today so I attended instead. After this experience, I honestly would have pulled my daughter out of this gym immediately. The substitute/manager I spoke with initially provided me with inaccurate information regarding my daughter moving up to the preschool class. Later, when I spoke with the front desk employee, she told me the teacher had been giving parents the wrong information all day and proceeded to reprimand the teacher in front of everyone when she returned. It was very unprofessional to witness staff correcting each other publicly. Afterward, the teacher attempted to backtrack by saying my daughter needed a lot of help. This had never been mentioned during the earlier conversation about the preschool class, especially considering there were only two children in the class at the time. This was also the first and only time this teacher had ever worked with my daughter. Her regular coach, Shay, was on vacation. Honestly, Coach Shay seems to be the only person holding this place together. The staff turnover is extremely high, which is very concerning. Considering the cost of tuition adds up to well over $1,000 per year, there should at least be some type of progress notes or communication system in place so parents receive clear and consistent information about their child's development. When I called back to speak with a manager, the same rude front desk employee transferred me to the same teacher she had just reprimanded -- presenting her as the manager. This only added to the confusion and lack of professionalism. Lastly, the facility itself is very outdated and unclean. There is a noticeable odor when you walk in, and the floors and equipment appear dusty and dirty. The cleanliness of a gym where children are constantly on the floor should be a top priority, but that clearly is not the case here. Because of this experience, they will not be receiving any more tuition from us.

Located on the bottom floor of the Lee District REC Center, the soft play room is a cheap and easy…read moreway for kids to blow off steam on a cold winter morning. Here are the deets: + Call ahead to make sure the playroom is open since it's often reserved for parties + $5 gets admissions or one child and a parent for thirty minutes + No kids over five + There is a limit of fifteen kids in the room at once All of this sounds fine and dandy in practice but I was charged $6 for my admission. There were seven kids playing in the room at one time and I thought that if got any more busy it would be a little bit too cramped. There was no one there to regulate the playroom or sanitize which left me wondering what type of bugs I would be taking home. On the other hand, the kiddos loved playing in the ball pit, hiding behind blocks and climbing ...pretty much everywhere but they also eat dirt so they don't have the most discerning tastes. Honestly, I'd rather take her to play at Chick-fil-a where my $6 could get me some waffle fries!

The park is conveniently located right next to the Waterworks Splash Pad, where kids can swim during the summer before enjoying a picnic under the gazebos. One downside is that there's only a porta-potty on site, and it isn't very clean--so it's best to make a restroom stop before arriving.

The forest trails here are so pretty and most of the time there's no one else there. It's just me, the birds (listen for the woodpeckers!), the abundant squirrels, and an occasional deer. There are many different entrances to the trails, so you can look at the maps online and decide which one you'd like to take. (Look up Neabsco Greenway TrThe trees are marked with different colors/lines to help you know which trail you are on. However, I do recommend bringing a phone with GPS capabilities if you are going for a long walk, just in case you happen to lose your way, especially as the landscape changes with the seasons. Most of the path will be gravel or flat dirt, although some sections can get really muddy if there's been a good rain. They also recommend using tick spray, although I've never had any bites when sticking to the established trails. Be sure to be respectful to others by staying at least 6 feet away if you happen to cross paths. These trails provide a great place to get some fresh air and enjoy nature!

I genuinely enjoy this facility and wanted to share some feedback regarding the current pool safety…read morepolicy, specifically the requirement that children under 48 inches remain within arm's length of a parent or guardian in the toddler pool area. While I appreciate the facility's commitment to safety, I believe this policy may benefit from review in certain circumstances. My five-year-old is slightly under 48 inches tall and is a capable swimmer but he was still given a yellow bracelet because of his height. During our recent visit, a staff member (she seemed to be the one in charge) told us about the arm's length requirement while my son was playing in the shallow toddler pool area, which only reaches ankle depth. I fully support close supervision requirements in deeper water or for infants and young toddlers. However, the current policy creates some practical challenges in the toddler pool area: 1. The shallow depth of the toddler pool presents minimal risk for older children who can swim. 2. Multiple parents attempting to maintain arm's length proximity in a confined space leads to congestion and difficulty navigating around one another. Which can make things even more difficult trying to keep an eye on your child and your child's constant movement when you have a parent in front of you trying to keep an eye on their child. 3. The policy becomes impossible to enforce when children use the toddler play structure and mini slides, where parents cannot physically maintain arm's length distance. Maybe some parents can fit going up the structure, but we certainly cannot fit going down the slide. We would have to go back down the steps of the play structure and then try to get to our child who most certainly is farther away from us because kids do not sit still. I believe a modified policy that considers both the child's swimming ability and the water depth would better serve families while maintaining appropriate safety standards. Perhaps children who demonstrate swimming competency could be permitted greater independence in ankle-deep water, while maintaining stricter supervision requirements in deeper areas.

One -- I strongly advise customers to check hours and lane/pool access and availability as local…read moreschool swim teams and swimming lessons dominate the usage of this facility. Sadly, there are not always lanes for the general public (taxpayers) to swim. Also, pay beforehand (see link) on the aquatic center's website to secure admission to a lane. https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/pwcsaquatics/activity/search?onlineSiteId=0&activity_select_param=2&activity_category_ids=29&viewMode=list The last two times our family used this facility, swimming lanes, advertised as open or available, were closed (management decided to close the slide an hour early on a Sunday even though kids were using it). I assume because of low usage, the two lifeguards monitoring the slide were needed elsewhere. All competitive lanes were closed for swimming even though they were advertised as open online. :( I have yet to see the diving boards used as they appear to be permanently shut down. Also, please, be very careful when you come and go. Every single time I have been there, someone has slipped and/or fallen on the facility's wet floors in the entryway. No cash is accepted...you will need to pay electronically. Lap swimming (link) is available by reservation only Monday - Thursday (drop-ins are permitted on a space-available basis but be aware that the lane you pay for may be shared with another swimmer). Reservations are not accepted or required Friday - Sunday (drop-ins only) - Most recent hours of operation (link), but call or check their website for additional closures. Closures and Special Hours: The leisure (kiddy) pool and slide is only open from 12-5 on Saturdays and Sundays, and swimming lanes are available w/o a reservation on Fridays...but I would double-check before you make plans. https://www.pwcs.edu/operations/aquatics/index or (571) 374-6333 or email aquatics@pwcs.edu Winter schedule matrix - Link below: https://www.pwcs.edu/operations/aquatics/fees/winter_2024-25_lane_availability_-_11-18-24.pdf
