We just celebrated my son Ezra's birthday at Romp n' Roll in Willow Grove, and I honestly cannot…read moresay enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, the team was so thorough and thoughtful -- every detail was communicated clearly, and they made it incredibly easy to custom-create the perfect celebration. As a parent, I really appreciated the amount of choice they give you when planning the activities. You're able to tailor the schedule to match your child's interests, which made everything feel really personal and special. The space itself is amazing -- clean, colorful, and totally engaging for the kids. The party host was fantastic -- completely hands-on and involved with the children from beginning to end. She led structured games, songs, and activities that kept the kids engaged and excited, but there was also just the right amount of time carved out for free play. The balance was perfect, and every child left with a big smile. They take care of everything -- setup, cleanup, and even walking everything out to your car at the end. It allowed me to truly enjoy the day without stress, which as any parent knows, is priceless. I ordered the food through them (which was fresh and delicious) and brought my own dessert, and both were big hits. If I had one single piece of feedback, it would be that I wish the party could've lasted two hours instead of the standard 90 minutes -- but honestly, that's a small thing compared to how wonderful the entire experience was. I would absolutely book another party here in a heartbeat. Thank you, Romp n' Roll, for helping make Ezra's birthday so special!

Surprised it's taken me so long to write a review and I would give zero stars if possible. During a…read moreSaturday class my daughter was bit by a boy during parachute time. That same child bit other kids and that day and 2 more the next week. On the following Monday Lisa called me to get my side of the story and I thought apologize but instead spent the next 25/45mins berating me on the phone and trying to preach inclusivity. I have a nonverbal autistic family member and it's truly the last thing I needed to be taught or heard that day. She never once apologized to me or my daughter and I've NEVER been spoken to so POORLY by another person let alone BUSINESS OWNER. Lisa is incredibly rude and totally unprofessional. Shes a fake type of nice you should look right past. My daughter talked about being bit for months after the incident and ultimately they kicked us out because I went past both their heads and complained to cooperate about the event and the amount of dust and dirt they had for 2 years up on their rafters. (I since heard it was cleaned since they were so scared of my review) So unprofessional and dirty, I can't say enough bad things about them. Take what you want from this review but this was our experience and I'll make sure to tell everyone I know to stay farrrrrr and clear from them. They also treat their employees like garbage and they had terrible staffing and turn around for new hires while we attended Zero out of zero stars

Bill Ryan is a very talented local artist and a great guy to boot. We visited him at his studio…read moreseveral times to pick out several pieces and are very happy with both the quality and the price. He was very easy to work with and very accommodating.

You need to stop by and check out Bill Ryan's art gallery. What a seriously prolific Artist. I love…read morehis bold use of color and all the variety of shapes, form and pattern that you will find in his abstraction. The selections are truly limitless. He has paintings available from miniature to massive! The other thing I like is the artist behind the paintings. Personally, when I buy an artist's work, I need to like the human that makes the art almost as much as the art itself. Bill is such a nice guy and very open to helping you find the right piece for your space. He'll do custom work for you too. Highly recommend

One of Philly's many hidden gems!…read more After googling events happening this weekend I saw an exhibit for Rashaad Newsome - "To Be Real" was on display at the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center... I'm always looking for something new, interesting and mentally stimulating so decided to check it out and was impressed. Let me start by saying this space is beautiful! My niece and I were greeted upon entering and were given a brief overview of the exhibit. The exhibit itself was rich in color and concept and very unique. There was no admission to see the exhibit but donations are welcome (tip: DONATE!) - donation is not mandatory but I'm a firm believer that arts and culture help expand and enrich our experiences and are also great for conversation. In addition to seeing the feature exhibit, there was a hallway with more art, which lead to another space with another exhibit "Fluid Women" (I think) was the name; this exhibit was captivating also. I had a wonderful experience visiting PPAC and will definitely return! I also recommend if you have an interest in visual arts and are looking for something unique. The space was quiet and it is not large but has a lot to offer.

This place is excellent. I'm an amateur photographer and I have come here for multiple workshops…read morebecause the education, the teachers, and the facilities are excellent. In terms of those workshops you can find them for about $30 on Groupon or LivingSocial and the classes are intimate enough with about seven people or less that you really can get the individual attention that really makes for an excellent experience. In fact you will get that personal attention because the teacher incorporates each student and politely requests that they offer their work for light critique. There are opportunities in every class for you to go outside and practice what you just learned by shooting on the surrounding streets. My only criticism regarding the workshops is that they are not as frequent as I would like as my weekend work schedule conflicts often times with their classes. This next section is about the print center and I've had nothing but a phenomenal experience there. I was completely new to Printing and Keith the master printer who runs the lab made an appointment and sat with me for about an hour to basically guide me through the entire process, give his suggestions, and work Photoshop to get the photos exactly as I want them. He has a profound amount of experience that he draws from and is completely understanding that I am a brand new printer. He even gave me recommendations for where to get my photos framed and was just a brilliant lead in the entire process of printing my photographs. I'll definitely come back and I will recommend it to you because they do have excellent facilities, friendly workers, and a wealth of experience. The actual building itself is quite large and I believe it's shared with some other organizations. Philadelphia photo Arts Center does have a classroom or two and a nice gallery to present whatever work they choose. Getting here is very convenient as I take the subway from Center City and walk about 10 minutes. If you were to drive there's plenty of parking and it does not seem packed the numerous times I've been there.
