In the front it's just for kids. The prices are very reasonable. So you purchase your ceramic for whatever the price is . Then you pay a $5.00 fee for the paint . Then you paint away . How cool is that. . It's such a stress free experience. Go give it a shot . The staff is attentive and helpful . I definitely will be back again . Very grateful for the wonderful warm welcome . I didn't want to leave but I got to go home. lol

Amazing newly opened indoor play space in Boston! The aesthetic here is just wonderful (simple and…read moreclean). The staff is fantastic. What makes this play space extra special is its location inside the prudential center. Both my 2 and 5 year olds look forward to coming here during the weekends for the open play sessions. There's so much to do! Bouncing house, slide, trampoline, ball pit, and endless fun and educational toys. They also offer kids and parent classes during the week days. Highly recommend this place!

I was very disappointed with my experience. The payout offered for gently used items was so low…read morethat it honestly wasn't worth the time or effort to bring everything in. Stores that buy used items like this just aren't worth it if you're hoping to get a reasonable return. For example, if you paid around $300 for a bassinet that's still in excellent condition, you may only be offered around $20 for it. The store may then resell it for $50 to $75. While I understand these businesses need to make a profit, the amount offered to sellers felt far too low to make it worthwhile. In my opinion, you're better off selling your items yourself through a local marketplace or giving them to a family in need. At least that way you'll either receive a fairer price or know your items are helping someone else. Unfortunately, I won't be selling here again.

This Plaster Fun Time location has not changed much since I last visited when I was around 10…read more Plaster Fun Time made for one of the best places to have birthday parties for kids, other than Chucky Cheese at the time. I came here with my friend and I's little siblings and decided what the heck, why not paint one myself too? I wanted to try and recreate the spongebob model and ran out of time. I wish they had more paint colors available as they offered a limited selection. You have a couple different glaze options which I thought was cool. Overall, I had an okay experience at Plaster... not the best not the worst. It definitely is a bit outdated & honestly really has not changed at all since over a decade ago.

So you're pretty much using used paint and have to dig in the shelf to find one that seems new. Other than that my toddler enjoyed herself, its a pretty quick activity to do with a child. The staff here were really nice.

Our first time here was for our kiddo's 3rd birthday, and Jam Time more than exceeded our…read moreexpectations! While planning the party, Jam Time set themselves apart from other locations with their price transparency right on their website, as well as consistent communication leading up to the party date so we knew how to plan for the day. The indoor space has a wide variety of toys and equipment for a range of ages, the highlights were the bounce house, the play structure with multiple slides, and the train table. They had a ton of ride-on toys and pretend play toys, as well as a dedicated area for younger babies to play and crawl around. All of the kids in our party had a blast! It was a shared space with the public so there were lots of other families there but it didn't feel overcrowded. Ari and Zane did an excellent job managing our party from start to finish. They took all the food we brought in and set it up in the party room in an organized arrangement, and they communicated well with us parents so we knew the general timeline of playtime, eating, and the cake presentation. JT the Moose came out at the end of the party to greet all the kids, he was a hit! At the end, they packed up all the food and cake for us to take back home. Highly recommend Jam Time for your birthday party needs or for just burning off some toddler energy!

Nice playground with lots of used toys for kids to play with. My 14 month old enjoyed it and spent…read morea fair amount of time playing in the sandbox, on the baby swing (there are two), and on the slides area. Some of the stuff is a little run down/dirty but considering it's free you really can't complain. There are many repeat toys in case it's crowded there should be something for everyone. Fair amount of shade makes this a nice place to hang out even on a hot day. I like the benches and tables for families as well as the water fountains.

It has two large connected play structures, a swing set, see-saw, a sand box, tons of toys and bikes that have been generously donated for a chance at a second life. The place gets crazy busy though. The after work crowd on a weekday is enough to incite a panic attack - especially for a newbie playground mom like myself, and quite frankly, I'm petrified of even trying to go on a weekend. That's not to say there isn't room for everyone, though. With the plethora of benches and tables, there really is room for everyone. D There are tons of abandoned (okay: "donated") toys left around - for the sand box and for kids to ride on, play in, etc. which adds to the play options. I love the access from here to the pond; it makes taking a walk around the pond before or after the playground a nice option. Not to mention all the shops and restaurants right on Center Street as well. There is easily accessible parking behind the playground - it is the public parking lot in JP behind Blanchards. It is 2 hours only, but that is usually more than enough time to get in and out of the playground. It's nice to not have to troll around for a parking spot.

My son cannot tolerate wearing a mask due to hypersensitivities related to being Autistic, and they would not make an exception to their masking rule. We were not allowed in the door, and had to forfeit three days of camp tuition. This is all after I spent hours finding a 1:1 aide we needed to pay out of pocket in order for them to allow him to attend. While I realize I should have double checked about how strict the policy is, there is nowhere else in our life that doesn't make an exception for him and for an outdoor program it didn't even occur to me. I frankly feel angry and sad about the experience, as a welcoming nature camp is exactly the right place for my son. While I understand and support masking as needed, we are three years into the pandemic, and he is triple vaccinated. I hope they improve in their flexibility and if they do I will edit this review happily.
