This review is for the awesome splash pad that is located in Wheeler Park. Every time we go we…read morehave a blast! I am also so happy that Wheeler park welcomes everyone from all over NJ (and elsewhere). Coming from out of the county will cost you a bit more, but not much. If you live outside of Union County it is $4.00 for kids ($2.00 in county) and $6.00 for adults ($3.00 in county). This splash pad has every water feature a kid could ever need - from bigger twisty water slides, to a small dragon water slide. Also, water guns that you can shoot each other with, a pirate boat, water shooting up from the ground, and much more. My kids spent a little over 2 hours here and had an absolute blast. We've been here about 3 times and it never disappoints. Just be sure to bring some sort of shade covering. There isn't much cover at the splash pad so we usually bring our small beach tent with us. There is also a dry playground in the splash pad gated area where kids can play too. They have staff who help keep the kids safe and to make sure everyone goes down the water slides safe and sound. I highly recommend Wheeler Spray Park on a hot summer day.

There is a mile long loop path that encircles the park made of recycled tire - comfortable to walk on and well maintained. Off this main trail is a dirt path that leads to Kean University and food (Panera, Chipotle, Coldstone, and more). There's a baseball diamond and a soccer field, also. The bridge that leads to another hiking trail is closed, but you can easily walk around the stream to get to the trail. The hiking trail itself is not well kept the further in you go, mostly rocks and dirt. It gets very narrow and basically leads to a stream and not much else. There are also many ticks so be careful. Gets very busy weekday mornings with people walking the paths, and weekends staring in the afternoon.

This was our first experience with a place like this for my husband's coworker's daughter's 4th…read morebirthday party this past Saturday. It was allotted for two hours, and seemed to be enough space for 8-9 children to run around. As a safety professional myself, I appreciated that they actually played a safety video for everyone, children and parents included, to watch and take note. The staff were all fairly young, but would have to comment that there isn't much staff walking around and monitoring that children are playing safe and following the rules. Some children were too scared to come down on the inflatable slides, and parents (myself included) had to rescue their child to come down. There was no staff around the several times this took place, which was a little frustrating. The music is LOUD - parents had to almost yell to each other to have any kind of meaningful conversation. You had to talk very closely to get your point across. As another Yelper mentioned, a song would be playing one minute and then silence for another 3, and then a song would pop on. It was very disjointed. The songs were appropriate for the most part, so no complaints there. The music was LOUD, but that didn't bother me as much as the LED strobe lights flashing the whole time - in every room, even the party room for lunch. It's very overstimulating, and seems to be unnecessary since the whole experience is stimulating enough as it is. The play room #1 was much better than #2, where some toys meant for younger children, are clearly very dirty and/or very old and should be replaced. I also didn't understand why when you walk into the establishment, they have charge cards to play games, but when you go into the play rooms for the party, they want cash! What's the point of that? I just spent x-amount of money on a charge card that can only support the 4-5 "play until you win" crane games in the lobby? My son was bummed that I wasn't willing to give him cash to play these games since I had a charge card that was barely used. I will say that they food they offered was decent - the pizza was the right temperature, and they offered several rounds of seconds and thirds to adults and children. Apple juice, iced tea, and sprite were offered, and there was plenty for everyone. The party room was bright, clean, and spacious to have the kids play freeze dance and run around a bit until transitioning to end the party. I am motivated to go back when they have open play hours so we can use up his charge card, and to tire him out!

The trails are free to enter but they do request for volunteer donation for non members. Different tiers of annul membership available to purchase at main office that comes with some wonderful perks, such as free access to trails and special events. The main office also has some of the exhibition items like insect box and turtle box. Outside the office there's also bird and butterfly cages. We went to the center for our daughter to participate in butterfly feeding event. Upon arrival we found out we had to buy the tickets for one of the two scheduled events. Luckily there were slots available to the second event on the day. The ticket was reasonably cheap, only $8. It also came with an additional bird's exhibition that took place right in front of office deck. All the stuff members were very friendly, informative and interactive. We spent wonderful couple of hours here on beautiful warm summer day.

I had my son's 2nd birthday party here. This is our second time at this location. Before we came,…read morethe host was calling to say card readers was down and parents need to bring cash. It's like 30 min before the party start time. I requested the side area, I had a fairly large party. For the price, it's great $450-$500. I recommend booking the last party. So you're not rushed to clean etc. Tons of things to do. Cons: My party host went on break and didn't mention anything to us. I was looking for her for over an hour. then I finally asked someone else and they were like oh she's on break. The first time I went staff was very attentive to the children and jungle gym area. This is time not so much. Staff needs some proper training with a stronger leader. Overall, nice place and fun for children.

I will say the workers are mostly young kids lack professional etiquette. While waiting to redeem coins the worker just walked off stating he was off the clock lol.

They have New Jersey's on Buddy Valastro's cake slices! I'm really impressed with the friendliness of the staff and how incredible the experience was. This is a must see for birthdays and just for family night out!
