    SeaQuest - Stonecrest - Three of the goats waiting to be feed

    I really enjoyed my outing here with my two toddlers. We came right at noon when they opened on a…read moreTuesday to avoid the crowd. I was fortunate to find a code so admission was free but I had pay to feed the animals which was reasonably priced. However with little ones we ran through those tokens so fast because they were overly excited once they realized they could feed the fish ducks and goat. The goats are where most of our time was spent lol. You can pay $20 or 10 tokens to hold animals in different locations. There's a gift shop in the back which I was thankful it was tucked away and not having to walk through it while leaving so tantrums were avoided. Like other reviews yes it's fairly warm but I just figured it's to keep the animals comfortable and I dealt with it, it didn't make or break my experience just bring some water with you. Also yes the smell as soon as you walk in punches you in your nose but you go nose blind after awhile. Every staff member from the front desk to those walking around has awesome customer service interacting with My kids and I and explaining what they were doing with the animals. We will definitely be back soon!

    Hot and smells. SeaQuest is located at Stonecrest Mall. We arrived at 1 and the line was pretty…read morelong. The smell coming from the farm animals really just hits you right in the face when you enter. I wore a cardigan over a tank top and was sweating. There's so many people and very little air conditioning. Yikes. You can smell everyone's body odor. I purchased my tickets online and received my wrist bands. We also bought 15 tokens for about $32 so my kids can interact with the animals. It's cheaper to buy from the token machines inside. Save your money, don't get tokens at all. The amount of animal feed you get is very little. I'm talking about 1 tsp size. Like 2 pebbles for the farm animals, but I understand why they do this. The animals are getting feed all day long. Our first stop was to feed the catfishes. When I say there is a lot of people. There was A LOT of people. I feel like the SeaQuest was really understaffed. Parents were allowing their kids to run around in the turtle inclosure. There was no staff in sight. Poor thing was getting chased by kids. Same thing for the iguana. The only animal interaction my kids enjoyed was the parakeets. It was 1 token per person and you spend about 2-5 mins inside. I would not come back and do not recommend.

    I threw a party here for my 6-year-old and want to share some observations, the good with the…read morenot-so-good. let's start with the positive: Boomerang is super-well laid out, with tons of different play areas for the little ones. the private-party rooms are also neat, giving events a feeling of intimacy--where kids can run in and out of the party room and the play areas. I also really enjoyed how Boomerang customizes the party atmosphere with photos projected on the screen, although the practice of bringing a thumb drive is antiquated and should be updated to facilitate emailed or uploaded photos. What was odd for me is Boomerang's policy of "not bringing in outside food" when the staff apparently orders from outside sources like a pizza place. If that's the stated policy, how about giving guests the option of ordering from a specific place they favor? alternatively, having a number of "preferred vendors" might be a way to give party-throwers more of a choice. I got the impression, which was wrong, that Boomerang had some sort of in-house kitchen service, which I understand adds an added layer of complexity to any business. For our party, the pizza joint delivery was late and we had to wait for the food to arrive. The staff at Boomerang was really nice, and I felt bad for our room attendant who seemed overworked and stressed. I tipped her $40 to try and thank her for the effort. With some pointed areas of improvement, all-in-all I'm VERY glad we have Boomerang as a resource to work out "the wiggles" of our kids.

    As a parent of a most energetic little one, my husband and I are always looking for fun stuff for…read morehim to do. Since his birthday was coming up, we decided to take him to Boomerang to celebrate and figured we would go early on a Sunday morning in hopes that it wouldn't be too crowded. Ohhhhh how wrong we were.... Located just off Amsterdam (near Piedmont Park), we arrived 7 minutes after they opened and the parking lot was absolutely full of kids and parents and I immediately thought maybe this was a bad idea. Luckily there is plenty of free parking so after searching for a bit, we were able to find a spot and walked up for our adventure. When we walked, in the line was wrapped around the area where you place your belongings. We placed our shoes in the cubbies and there was a nice young man going to those of us waiting in line holding an iPad asking if we had completed the waiver that necessary to play. He also let us know that he could assist us with completing the waiver on the iPad he had or he gave further direction regarding using the QR code posted on the wall near the entrance area. The line moved pretty quickly and we paid. The young girl at the front seemed a little all over the place with so many people but she was kind while interacting with my husband and let us know she would need to stamp all of our hands in the event we wanted to leave and come back since admission (I think $16 per child and the accompanying adult is free but any other adult with that child is $6) allows you to leave and come back if needed. I liked that there was a gate to both the entrance and exit of the play area which seemed to be good for keeping little wayward children from bolting out the building. This place was soooo much fun and my 4 year old had an absolute blast. There were several different areas for the kiddos to play with...an inflatable slide, a light up dance floor, an obstacle course, ball pit, huge interactive game screen, and an area for toddlers. I was able to snag a spot near the dance floor in the middle of the play area so I was able to keep an eye on him and allow him the opportunity to just run around and be a kiddo. I liked that someone was doing a sweep of the area s and cleaning every 30 mins or so. They do not have tons of food options but you are able to purchase snacks and drinks while there but no outside food is allowed. Overall a wonderful first visit and we will definitely be back!

    For anyone who has kiddos that need to release some energy, TKT Playtime is the place!!! i…read moreabsolutely hate crowds, so i tend to get tickets for 10am and 11am. We've been to other bouncy house places before, and this is a great one in terms of: 1. Cleanliness - best to arrive early before too many kids and parties get underway. 2. Size - adequately sized bouncy areas and a small arcade. For my baby girl, she can jump in a small toddler area; while my 3- and 5 -year-olds can run up and down the bigger, more extensive bounce area. 3. Variety - when my kids get tired of bouncing, they love the arcade games - basketball, motorcycle racing, Jurassic Park, and car racing. My only complaint is that you can't get your money back if you don't use up a set amount on your Arcade card. I usually hand it to another parent for their kids to use, but there should be a way to return your arcade card and recoup the money that was placed on it.

    We didn't know pizza is not made on the premises. I ordered a pizza thinking it would be ready in…read moreabout 30 minutes. 45 mins later, I asked about my pizza. I was informed the pizza wasn't picked up yet and that it would be picked up with the birthday party pizzas. That's when I found out they outsource the pizzas. There was no explanation prior to planning the party about this practice. Hot dogs were on the menu but they ran out. The sign on the door reads "no outside food allowed" but there were adults preparing for parties bringing in outside food. We were told by management we would get "extra time" since our pizza was late. However, after the kids ate, and went back into bounce area, they were kicked out because it was 5pm. The extra time was to clean up and did not include the kids play time. Even though our contracted time ended at 5:30pm, we packed up, cleaned up and out of there by 5:15pm. Never again.

We did order a chicken tenders meal at the restaurant and it was really good! They have twisted fries that are delicious! My granddaughter and I both ate off the plate it was that much! Great adventure for the family and schools! Down side be careful of purchases at the gift shop . Its over priced and they may or may not work! We purchased a $9.00 bubble giraffe gun it did not work and when I called they stated to bring it back with receipt for refund! I live over an hour away and it's an inconvenience they didn't care to be courteous to provide a refund automatically. Please check your items before you leave!!

Although there's not a large variety of exotics, there are enough very large heads coming at you to make it exciting! We laughed and squealed the entire time! Don't look away from your open window though, you'll end up with an animal head nudging you over!! We got the big giant reusable bag of food and so glad we did, we were able to feed animals all the way to the very end! We took our own car through and although a little anxious about it, the animals never touched it, just stuck their heads in the window and moved along when we started moving. Highly recommend for the entire family!!

Prices may slightly differ. Also SOCKS are a must!! There was a toddler section with small houses and games/toys for her to play. I especially loved the bounce house and obstacle courses. It was big enough to go with the kid inside. Probably could be adult size. I will say it wasn't the newest equipment and there were definitely some spots with air leaks, and it was obviously loud from the air machines pushing air into the inflatables. However overall we really enjoyed ourselves. It exceeded our expectations and looking forward to taking our baby again.

Parking is free, and for the price they charge, I definitely think it's worth it. There's a bounce house inside along with a jungle gym, and although my kids were too big for it, I love that they have a separate section for smaller kids. They have a few games and attractions that cost extra, like a hurricane simulator and driving games. I really liked how intimate the space felt there's plenty of seating for adults and free WiFi, which is always a plus. And as a big kid at heart, the air hockey had me in a chokehold. You do have to go to the counter to request the puck and handles and return them when you're finished. I turned them in each time and just went back to ask for them whenever I wanted to play again. One time, a gentleman mentioned that they usually ask you to leave a shoe or your keys when getting the equipment. ‍ Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.
