We did the UFO Experience as we've already been to the aquarium. We wanted to eat lunch at Maria's, but they were closed (despite us being there during business hours). I'm fearful the aquarium is doing its best to keep the entire boardwalk afloat. Not sure how sustainable that is as there weren't many people here today. Hoping they can get some additional viable businesses in here...

It's such a great bonding opportunity and allows you to have fun with whoever you bring with phones down. Parking is NO issue at all at this location. They have so many spots available given the strip outlet location it's in. I do recommend not wearing any thick or heavy clothes and bringing as little items as possible, because you will be moving A LOT and sweating will be your enemy. They have a bar and restaurant as well, but we didn't get a chance to go. Definitely will be back, and next time need to go for 4 hours! I think we did 2 hours and it didn't feel like enough time.

We rented the private space out for my son's 1st birthday. I had never been there before but was so…read moreimpressed with the venue. Something for all ages. Staff were very nice and helpful. And loved the kids. Everyone at the party loved the space and we definitely will be coming back! Also, the owner, Danielle was super accommodating when I told her we only needed one attendant because most of the kids coming to the party were one or younger. She was great to work with! Thank you.

I'm so glad Play & Stay exists. The top 2 reasons we come here are:…read more 1. I have to work and my daughter doesn't have school. This place is great for spring/fall break, district recess, or early-release days. I love that while she plays, I'm able to set my laptop up for work with fast WiFi and access to an outlet. I have always felt accommodated and comfortable with plenty of space. Obviously, it can be kind of noisy/chaotic at times, but I've never had issues with productivity or complaints from colleagues about background noise. 2. It's way too hot to do anything outside, and I want more for my daughter than just to stay at home or run errands. You can only hang out at a restaurant or walk around the mall for so long. A few other positives to call out: - Friendly, engaged staff. The employees oversee the play space and are great with the kids. They facilitate a few optional and structured activities like dance breaks, coloring, or storytime in another room throughout the day. They do more than just keep the kids safe, they keep them entertained. - They offer some snacks and drinks at reasonable prices - Clean and lots of toys and a "play gym "structure - Next to the new coworking space (Work & Stay) so you can get a dedicated cubicle/space and childcare if you're looking to do this more consistently. - My daughter looks forward to coming here and often requests it: she has a blast every time. TL;DR A local business that has caffeine, cold AC, wifi, power outlets, and tons of space for kids to play? Sold.

We came here for my son's birthday with his best friend, and they had an absolute blast! They were…read morerunning around, bouncing, jumping, climbing, and even playing on a skateboard. This place was definitely worth the price--under $30 per kid, plus $5 for non-slip socks. There's a great area for parents to sit and relax while the kids play, including lounge couches that were comfortable enough to actually enjoy watching them. My son played nonstop for two full hours. They also offer snacks and food. We ordered a family pizza for $19, and the kids got small ICEE drinks for under $4 each. A regular pepperoni pizza was only around $5-$6, which is a great deal compared to other kids' places. The facility was clean and had lots of different activities--not just trampolines--so the kids never got bored. It also wasn't overly packed for a Friday at 6 PM, which made the experience even better. Overall, a fun, affordable, and well-thought-out place for kids. We would definitely come back!

This is a hidden gem for birthday parties. The arcade sits nicely in between Peter Piper and Maverix.

Cannot recommend Cyber Quest enough.

Plus her coworker was there to refund me. something that was icing on cake. Quite an experience!

The animal habitats look clean and you can tell they're well cared for. This is a great place to go for a school trip with the touching pools as the employees teach you about the occupants. My favorite part is definitely the voyager, which is a small theatre like atmosphere that rotates around while you learn of the different fish, sharks, turtles etc, much like the carousel of progress in Disney. They have a nice place to grab some food, Starbucks, or even an adult beverage. The entire thing is situated within a complex that houses shops, a dinosaur exhibit, a UFO encounter, a center area called the boardwalk with a carousel and soon a Ferris wheel. I really enjoy the Frozen Penguin ice cream shop with its delicious treats, perfect on a hot day. Overall it's a great place to visit really enjoyed the day.

The aquarium was absolutely wonderful. From the minute that you arrive, you are submerged into all…read morethese wonderful exhibits. I really loved the projected scenes on the walls at the entryway. I also think it's really cute that they take your picture when you get to aquarium. We did not purchase our photo although it was very nice one. It was just a little too pricey, $30 for one photo if I am not mistaken. I personally love to go to the aquarium to see their variety of jellyfish and stingrays, and I am always especially happy when they have puffer fish. I was in luck. Not only did they have a wonderful, huge amazing display of jellyfish, but they also had the cutest display of puffer fish. I was finally able to show my daughter what they look like up close. That was pretty special to me. And even better, as I took a picture of these puffer fish on my phone, they noticed my sparkly keychain. When they saw that, they were drawn to it. They came right up to the glass. My daughter was in awe. The aquarium has this amazing rotating display. At first, I didn't know what to think about it. I didn't quite understand what it was. So of course, naturally, my family and I had to check it out. You are seated in a small auditorium. Their seats are more than comfortable, and the auditorium is very well air-conditioned. It takes you through a series of different huge displays. One of them features some of the most beautiful stingrays I've ever seen. Another features sea lions. And of course, a few feature the different fish and sharks. I have never in my life experienced a presentation like that. It was amazing. If we had had more time, I probably would've wanted to watch the presentation a second time. My kiddo isn't so young and teeny tiny anymore, but there are lots of little kids play areas at the aquarium. There is what I called the water table. There is running water that flows through there and the kids are able to use flat panels of plastic to redirect the water through this kind of maze if you will. That's a big favor. Be sure you have paper towels on hand for when your kiddo is done here. They will most likely be wet up to their elbows. It's a cute and fun way to make friends too. They are different opportunities for visitors to get more up close and impersonal with a variety of animals that they have here at the aquarium. We did not participate. One day, hopefully we can. There was so much to see. Everyone at the aquarium was so friendly. There are some Touch pools and opportunities for kids to pet different sea plants and small animals. That is always fun. One thing I had never seen before was a Starbucks inside of a aquarium. This is not just any Starbucks my friends. This particular Starbucks understands that parents need a break too. I'm not talking strictly about coffee. The Starbucks inside of this aquarium offers a small variety of adult drinks. Yes, you heard me correctly. They offered beer. I believe they also offer a few seltzers. Anyway, I thought that was pretty cool. My family and I didn't have an opportunity to actually enjoy anything from Starbucks, but we did take notice of their offerings. If you will be in the area for a couple of days, this is easily one of the better things to be able to take advantage of. If you purchased your aquarium tickets along with tickets to other attractions at the Arizona Boardwalk at the same time, you can create a ticket bundle. In doing so, you will receive a discount on your tickets. I can't quite remember what the percentage off amount was. However, we did purchase tickets to the aquarium as well as to the Museum of illusions. I think that might've given us 20 or 30% off of the combined ticket price. Definitely check it out online. It was a good deal. Parking here is free. They have lots completely around the entire boardwalk area. I really enjoy the boardwalk space. There is a large courtyard in the middle. It is great and perfect space for kids to come and enjoy lunch outside, especially for small schools that come to visit for a field trip. It really is just a beautiful spot. The aquarium and our experience at the boardwalk area was phenomenal. You must take a moment to check out the bathroom. Initially, I thought the whole little thing about the bathroom being cool was some sort of a joke or just something funny to post. But no, it really is pretty awesome. People often flock to the bathroom just to check that out. It can make for kind of a tight situation when the bathroom area is being crowded because people want to see the sharks. But, it was the one time that I could say that there were sharks in my bathroom. LOL Our visit here worked out perfectly. We came here right after breakfast and by the time that we left, it was definitely time for a little bit of a late lunch. There is definitely more than enough for everyone here.

Great experience! Such a cute little place with an amazing butterfly conservatory. I have never…read moreseen so many butterflies in one place. My kids loved it, they said it was their favorite part of our activities during our stay in AZ. Couple things to know: it's pretty small so only takes about an hour to do, depending on how long you want to stay in the conservatory. It does get hot/humid in the conservatory but there's a small cafe right back inside where you can take a break. If there are tours/field trips, try to do the other areas and go back to the butterflies when they are done. Otherwise, it gets really loud and crazy with so many kids in there. Only con was the staff was a little short with us but I think they were overwhelmed by a huge field trip of small children that was there at the time.
