They knock the competition out of the park. 8 of us did "Montauk" and it was outstanding. Easily the #1 escape room in nyc and nationally in the top 10%. The degree of immersion and the thoughtfulness of the sets are a big win. Also minimal use of combo locks and the rooms did not feel linear, with people making progress on different puzzles at the same time. The mood is also fantastic with 1980s vibes and stranger things fans will appreciate some of the design elements.

SOLID INDOOR PLAY PLACE FOR PRESCHOOLERS…read more It's a cool space for kids to burn off some energy when the weather outdoors is less than ideal. We lucked up and got parking right in front. The entry price of $15 for a child and adult was on par what they offered (ie small ball pit, padded jungle gym, arcade). We went on a hot summer weekend with 2 kids and 3 adults. Though they were hosting a birthday party, the place was not packed at all. The toddler area was for babies and the arcade ended up being the highlight for my group. The kids both age 3 enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Wish that I had read the rave reviews about the food before I went; might return to try the food. It doesn't take much to entertain a preschooler so stop by especially if you are looking to avoid the chaos of the bigger, more popular indoor spots.

I have taken my daughter here numerous times. She seems to love this play space. The price here is…read morereasonable and you can stay the whole day here. The arcade is additional cost compare to admission to the soft play area. My daughter love climbing the soft play area and going down the slides. She also loves the ride and the ticketed games. The food here although pricey is relatively very good. Russian/ Mediterranean inspired food choices along with American fast food flare. I recommend this place for the kids. On weekdays, the play card is double the value, recommend to buy on weekdays. The place does get very overcrowded and busy on weekends. The location of the place is under an alley bridge way, which might be a little sketchy at night time. Security wise, I do recommend, you do not leave your child unattended. The do not have the best security service. The establishment loses one star for their security protocol. I feel the establish can do better to make parents feel more at ease. But of course it's always the parents job to watch and oversee their kids while they play.

This is a supervised, climb-at-your-own-pace experience rather than formal instruction. If you're looking for climbing classes with instructors, this is not for you. If you're looking for a climbing facility where kids decide what they want and don't want to do, this place is perfect. Booking & Check-In: The online process was seamless--purchasing tickets, selecting a time slot, and completing the waiver form all happened smoothly. Pro tip: fill out the waiver online when you buy tickets to save time at check-in. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved quickly. Safety & Orientation: All kids in our time slot gathered in a separate room for harness fitting and a thorough safety video. Since each harness must be fitted individually by an instructor, this takes some time--hence the 20-minute early arrival recommendation. It's time well spent for peace of mind. The Facility: The climbing courses are fantastic, with plenty of variety across different difficulty levels. The auto-belay system lets kids climb independently while staying securely connected at all times. With colorful themed walls, vertical challenges, and ropes courses reaching 26 feet high, there's no shortage of excitement. Everything feels extremely safe, with staff members consistently available throughout. There's also a play structure for younger children (4 feet and under). The Staff: I was particularly grateful when a staff member noticed my son losing confidence midway through (even on courses he'd already completed, like the pirate plank). This instructor took genuine time to help him regain his footing. It helped a lot. The Location: Hapik is located in Industry City, which means you're surrounded by excellent food options. We grabbed lunch at Japan Village in the next building, which offers a lot of different dining options Tips for First-Timers: - Start with one pass if it's your first visit--no need to commit to multiple passes until you know your child enjoys it. - During school breaks, arrive before 11am to beat the crowds. - Complete waivers online at booking to streamline check-in. - If you came to just follow your kid without climbing, you still need to sign a waiver. Highly recommended for a fun, confidence-building activity!

We took our toddler to this place this past Sunday. We got there about 11a and there were hardly…read moreany kids which was fine. We got to walk around and check out the place. After a while now kids and parents showed up. This playground is located on the 2nd floor of the building. No strollers or outside food/ drinks are allowed inside. It's a big space with lots of play areas. They also have 2 birthday party rooms. That's also a cafe where you can buy food, drinks, snacks and ice cream for you and your kids. There are 2 bathrooms on site; one of them has the baby changing pad in it. The bathrooms were clean. We stayed there for almost 2 hours and enjoyed our time.

CREA interactivity is an indoor play space on the second floor above Japan Village (building 2)…read more It's tucked away, you have to enter from 253 36th St, not from any other part of the building, and climb to the second floor. They are good about signage, which was helpful! I booked 8 kids for a two hour experience for a birthday. The two hours included one "adventure" and some craft time. We were lucky that my group was the the only ones booked for that two hour window, so they got to enjoy it as a team. The best thing about the two hour experience: it's drop off. The adults literally cannot stay, there is no space for you. They have your number if some thing happens, but this is designed for adults to have your own adventure. HUGE win. If you have more than 15 kids, there's a party package with a custom adventure, side room and time for cake. They have a deal with the Industry City vendors for food options, which sounded awesome. The CREA team was responsive, answering my queries within a day of me sending an email. They were kind about helping me with options and ensuring we were all set. The space is fun. The room is long and has several zones to explore and collaborate in. There are things to climb and bounce on and zoom. The staff are special. They are kind, excited to hang with the kids, and organized. Feedback from my set of discerning and hopefully not too spoiled 7 to 9 year olds was mixed. The girls (7) loved it, and waxed poetic about the blocks and climbing wall and made gorgeous art. The 9 year old boys said great things about the bouncy area, but also reported that some of the interactive sensor games were glitchy and decided they were too cool for the craft. I would probably be back for a CREA date night (Friday and Saturday evenings). Perhaps not for another birthday.

A bummer was that there was no promotions for the soft opening and they were only offering one for their grand opening on Sunday. It would've been cool to get a coupon or 1 free arcade play or complimentary socks for the playspace for the soft opening, but whatever, we still stayed and enjoyed. The space is large and filled with lots of fun areas for both younger and older kids. I was told that this was actually their largest location. On weekdays, the trampoline/play area is 1.5 hrs for 24.99+tax and 2.5 hrs is 27.99+tax. Weekends it is 27.99 and 32.99+tax, respectively. It is $3.00 if you don't bring your own grippy socks - and you'll need them (some areas were slick even with the mats, padding and grip socks on). They offer different packages for their points for the arcade and if they are like their other locations, will probably offer lots of different promotions :) The play area is on the ground floor and the arcade is on the lower level. There is a "bead"/pebble area (similar to sand play, but much cleaner), a large ball pit with slides, climbing, interactive video games, timed obstacle course, trampolines, foam pits, Floor is Lava game and lots more! We stayed in this area for the duration of our paid time and then went to check out the arcade area on the lower level, but you can go in/out between the two areas if you want. Down in the arcade area they also have bumper cars, various VR games, archery as well as a bunch of fun games and crane games. The lights are fun and engaging like their other locations. We got to play some crane games and won some plushies :) All in all a great time and my little one is already asking to go back!

They advertise a 9 PM closing time, so I drove an hour to give my daughter the full hour and a half for her birthday. When we arrived, we were told they were actually closing in 30 minutes, around 8 PM. I was then told that if we wanted to enter, we still had to pay for the full hour and a half. I offered to pay for the 30 mins but they insisted on paying 1.5 hours and only allow them to play for 30 mins. I explained that we had driven an hour, but they were unwilling to make any accommodation. I found this extremely unfair and disappointing. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this business to others.
