I am giving 5 stars based on our Birthday Party experience. It blew me away how nicely they had the room set up. Definitely worth the price. I highly recommend adding the animal demonstration - the kids loved it!

Great place to spend an afternoon with the family. My three year old LOVES the bird show, and is constantly asking us to bring her so she can feed the birds.

My daughter loved the “Bubble” which has so many toys, learning and sensory activities, story time and the play tables are just the right size for her and other toddlers. She really liked the galaxy mat and the fiber optic fun stuff in there.
