I've gone to "the bubble" for years for soccer games with my kids (winter league) and also for two…read moreyears with one in their club soccer program. Regarding the latter, personal experiences with John Smith himself always fun, positive and entertaining - however rest of club experience was very disappointing, your mileage may vary, but I'm certainly not a fan based on my experience. This is a review of the facility being a venue for (winter) soccer league games, and this comes from many years of going there with two children for just that reason. If you have not been, the place is basically a large bubble\dome (think tennis bubble but much larger) that holds two walled turf fields built like hockey rinks with walls on all sides, and then PlexiGlass shields and nets in others designed to keep balls in play and away from spectators. Each field has metal grandstands on one side of the field for spectators. Amenities-wise, there is a small bathroom area, a tiny shop up front where you can buy basic soccer stuff, and\or uniforms if you are in the club program. They also have an inflatable play area suitable for young (under 10?) kids. At times they have also set up an inflatable laser tag game but I haven't seen it recently. Most of the time I'm there I see kids playing soccer or training for lacrosse in the two turf fields. There is also often a large contingent of local Ecuadorians playing volleyball on a side field. Lots of activity. The facility wasn't really 'nice' when I first started going years ago and if anything has gone downhill a bit since. It's always seemed kind of beat up and dirty inside. Their parking lot is dangerously unlit, and feels unsafe at night, especially in winter. You can't see the ground well, nor easily catch sight of the kids darting from the parking area to the front entrance. There isn't even an illuminated sign at the entrance that makes it apparent where to turn in for parking. The have changed food options several times over the years. For a couple years they had a snack bar that had a good selection of food and seemed to be staffed by really nice people. But it was often not open for night games. Then this winter I went in and was dismayed to find it was closed down, replaced by a row of (mostly I think) drink machines. One last thing - on one field spectators and players are on same side and can see the scoreboard clearly. But on the back field players and spectators are on opposite sides, and they hung the scoreboard so that the players can see it but spectators cannot without getting down from the stands and waking a few feet away to turn and loop up at it. It's really annoying that I pay for and drive my kids to the games for years, and I can't even see the score half the time. I've asked JSS staff about this, they don't care, and generally my impression of them is that they are really not very customer oriented. This is a shame because the location is perfect for serving the surrounding towns, and the kids really like playing indoor sports, but the facility is in desperate need of an overhaul and maybe a change in management.

Really disappointed with their customer service. The…read moreplayzone itself is very simple but was loads of fun for the kids, and I think it is a great feature in the facility for kids to play while their siblings are in sports practice. We live 30mins away, had a Groupon for their playzone that we were saving for a special rainy day treat. Brought 5 kids to the play zone and they had a blast. Their website said they were open until 8pm, but after being there for an hour from 2-3pm they announced they were closing. I politely showed the website hours & was told they didn't have time to update the website yet, so I asked for a voucher because we were disappointed and I felt it was unfair & poor customer service. We were told no, and that she told me they were closing at 3 upon check-in (which nobody remembered hearing). I have never written a yelp review before but felt this was such poor customer service, really disappointed. It's not the money, it's the customer service. Would have made a big difference to show compassion & understanding in this situation.

The food is prepared in house as opposed to other daycares who give frozen foods. I was assured my toddler will be getting fresh food with variety and she will be exposed to lot of cuisines. Activity wise also they teach them lot of things and i was surprised to see my toddler's vocabulary had suddenly increased and she could count, tell colors apart and alphabets..

If you don't want to show, board a horse, or ride multiple times per week you were not a top priority. It is all about the money and not the horses!! Throughout the times riding at this barn it was clear that there was and still is constant turnover of instructors. There were at least 15 different instructors in about 5 years and the makeup lessons. There are only 2 instructors that are still teaching at the farm after many years. More advanced riders such as myself were given the 'left over' horses during the summer camp and regular lessons since all the others were used way too much. These left over horses desperately needed a qualified trainer to work with them and not kids. Including a therapeutic riding horse that reared in the cross ties and needed way more training before it should have been added to the program. The beginner horses were used so much that they would go lame every other week. Safety is not a top priority at this farm for the campers, riders, and horses. In a few lessons I can remember a newer horse that was placed in beginner lesson programs that would throw riders weekly... but was never taken out of the lessons and given training. As for the birthday parties the owner never gave proper training. It was always whose not doing something... and throw them in there. We never had training for summer camp CIT either, even though it is stated online as well. If I have to pay over $300 a week I do not want to be treated as trash from other CIT's. There was no schedule for what to do with the campers only there lesson time and it was up to me to figure out what to do with them... with my great training. The barn owner can be rude, forgetful, and condescending. I had to wait for years to get my 3 paid for makeup lessons. After deliberating with the owner that in fact I had them even after I sent her the old emails, she kept denying. After stumbling across a previous farm horse I posted an older photo of that horse, named Magic, with me at Lil folk. Magic is obviously way happier at the place that he is now. The barn owner decided what a great opportunity to twist my words. She denied that was the horse yet went to the horses owner and told her something else. Just childish. I'll attach the photos below. You can't have your own opinion of this barn unless it's what the owner wants. Even if it would benefit the horses care and the safety of all riders. Overall I would NEVER recommend this barn for anything The last photo is BOSTON! He shared his bridle with Magic, but used different bits. Notice the difference in head coloration, size, and bit change (from Magic in previous photos.)

He clearly enjoys football. Coaches were volunteers and seemed to like working with kids. Though these were positives, I won't be signing up again. The timing and organization of this sport did not work for my family. Most spring activities start in mid-April and end in late June, aligning with school. This didn't start until Mother's Day and was ran through the weekend after July 4th. Having football on Mother's Day, Father's Day, and a holiday weekend was not ideal. As the weeks went on it seemed less and less people came. Also, it was initially a Sunday from 4 pm - 5 pm activity, but there were times it was changed to 3 pm - 5 pm or cancelled due to weather or field availability (these were not made up). Further, when a tournament came up in late June, parents were asked to bring cash for registration if we wanted our kids to play. Those who didn't sign up lost a week of practice. And to top it off, not enough kids were interested in playing. The week before the tournament FREE spots were given out. Even then, it was never made clear if enough kids signed up so I didn't bring my son (who I paid for) since I had no confirmation that there were enough players. I do think the coaches and Commissioner Sabet care about kids and had passion about flag football. But the timing and organization were just issues that were too big for me. With multiple children in activities I found that this was not the best fit for us.
