  • Will my ___ year old child enjoy the space?

    We cater to children ages 0-7 with our play setting but have had older children enjoy our space. We ask that parents ensure children 7+ are playing safely with the smaller children and we reserve the right to ask anyone to leave due to destructive or unsafe behavior.

  • Do you offer discounts? What if I have a group?

    Our pricing is competitive with similar area offerings. If you are looking for a better deal, please consider weekdays where you receive a longer play session than weekends for the same price, our membership options, or attend with a group of 15+.

  • Can I try out your space before deciding on a membership or party?

    In this case, we will take payment for your reserved play session and apply a discount to the membership or party booking if you make this election within 48 hours of your visit. Contact moc.nwotyenip%40ofni to apply this promotion.

  • Will it be crowded? What is your capacity?

    We do cap our attendance at 30 children which is busy, but not crowded. We typically only hit this mark on holidays and rainy weekends and you can always check how many tickets have been sold when booking your reservation. For sensory-sensitive children, our space has several nooks to separate from the crowd and we are further developing our space to accommodate this need. Please contact us for info on private sessions, moc.nwotyenip%40ofni

  • Why do I need a reservation?

    Reservations enable us to cap attendance and ensure you have the best interaction with our space. Others attempt to cram as many visitors in their space as possible, we limit capacity to make sure you always have a great experience.
