NY Kids Club was recommended to me as an option and they were available. I got lucky. Having the location to ourselves was a big plus. As opposed to other locations where multiple families are hosting parties in close proximity. If you have a setup (balloons, etc), you might want to have someone help with the arrangements to expedite...there are plenty of sites (we used Thumbtack) that are great for projects like this and inexpensive. The gym area is "kid heaven"! All of the kids LOVED it. Their staff did a great job helping us run the itinerary including setting up the food tables, serving food, serving the cake, organizing the games and activities, and more. Overall I was very impressed with the experience and my son's first birthday party was a big success.

I worked here for two weeks and had a really bad experience. We had super long hours and low pay…read morewhich I was aware of before take the job (around $3-4 dollars an hour working from 8:20-5:15ish with a 1 hour lunch break). Despite this, the office staff would often ridicule the counselors behind our backs and at times to our faces for displaying any tiredness, or wanting to leave/take our lunch break at the time that was agreed upon instead of staying extra and helping more. Higher ups often gossiped among themselves said really harsh and untrue things about counselors they didn't like, or essentially anyone who asked for anything from them. Me and a fellow female counselor were sexually harassed by two male counselors, one of which was older (like in his 40s) and had a leadership position. We reported one of the incidents and our supervisor said that they would not talk to the counselor because an anonymous counselor told them that I initiated the sexual conversation. I am pretty sure (though not completely sure) that the only people who heard the conversation were me, the two harassers, and the children at the front of the bus. That makes me think that the anonymous counselor was either one of the harassers, or they were made up. The other female counselor involved told her supervisor that she didn't want to get into the pool with or be in a bathing suit around her harasser. One day after she said that her supervisor made her get in the pool with him. There were numerous incidents of a counselors doing sexual harassment or making homophobic/antisemitic comments in front of (or in some cases to) the kids. It is true that a friend of mine reported the homophobic/problematic comments and the staff did talk to the counselor about it. Even after that conversation though, a lot of the comments were still being made. (For example, a counselor would put items on camper's heads and say, this is your yarmulke. Another example was the counselor was telling a story to some kids and saying "a boy liked me and it was gross." And he asked campers their pronouns and laughed at the prospect of their pronouns not matching their gender assigned at birth). Due to the work environment I messaged the director that I wanted to quit and she did not respond. When I got into work she looked at me angrily and would not address my quitting. I later learned that she was saying very unkind things about me to other staff members. She called me into her office and told me that she did not like that I complained about the pay, which I did complain about, but not to her. Another higher up heard me complaining and told her about it, but I think I have a right to complain. I also heard incidents from other counselors of the higher-ups intimidating people into not quitting, which is not okay. Overall the camp is fun for children but was really harmful for me and other staff who worked there.

Answered all my questions promptly, gave me recommendations without being pushy. Booking and planning were easy, I really had not much to do beforehand. On the day of the party, they were very attentive - again, I didn't need to do anything logistical and was able to focus on greeting the guests and enjoying the party. The show they recommended for our age group (mostly almost-3 yr-olds, ranged from 1 to 5, plus parents) was Cinderella. It was as enjoyable for the grown-ups as for the kids. Many of the kids had never been to a theater before and some got a bit scared/confused when the house light first went out, but the interactive nature of the show made it easy for the kids to get into it. They make it quite fun and accessible. After the show, they served pizza and then had a delicious customized cake for us. The whole time, the actors were around, interacting with the kids... totally blew their minds to talk to the characters :D All in all, it was so memorable. Planning was so easy and smooth, people were so helpful and attentive - as someone who usually obsesses and stresses over event planning, I was lost... everything was done well, nothing went wrong, so I was left with no choice but to sit back, relax, and enjoy!

The class was in a gym at a public school. They crammed two teams in a small gym. The matches were unorganized that one time nobody put up the net that made all match starting times delayed by more than an hour. After two sessions, Big City completely changed the location and time. I tried to contact them for weeks with no avail. Once they replied my persistent messages, they downplayed that the location and time changes were nothing. We don't live in the neighborhood and the new location is even further away from us and it is late in the night. The total amount was $950 with 8 sessions. We told them that the new location and time is not good for us and we would like to get a refund for the rest of sessions that we won't be going. The very rude Nora Hsu manager or whatever, told me that they would give back only $600 while the pro rate should be $712.50. She wanted to pocket over one hundred dollars extra. She started to talk yada about how much they paid for credit card fee and so on, very bad manner and unprofessional. On top of that she threatened me to take me to a small claim court! What kind of this organization?!?! They can't deliver the service and want to sue customer! I wish I read the reviews here before signing up. DO NOT GO TO BIG CITY VOLLEYBALL.
