My 12 year old started on the easier slides first and then got over her uneasiness. The food provided at the concession stand was decent, we all ate something. The space is conducive to sitting and getting work done or just hanging out with other parents to talk. I enjoyed the playlist on the speakers, suitable for kids and adults alike. After about 45 to an hr my kids were slowing down but we ended to staying about 2.5 hrs between eating, playing basketball and sliding.

I was a little confused when we went to the 2nd room no one told us to take everything with us. I had to walk back through someone else's party when I realized what had happened. The 2nd room had a huge slide that the kids were interested in but it's really challenging to get up the structure for younger ages (our age group was 5-6). After play time we went to a private room for birthday treats and the birthday child got a special chair.

This place is great infants and kids up to 4 in my opinion. This place is big enough to roam but small enough for caretakers to keep a watchful eye. You cannot drop off your kids. There is room for adults to sit and interact or sit. I was told the items get wiped down daily and sanitized often. You can bring your own snacks and drinks but there are a few available for purchase. This place is very accessible but the child gates may require a different entry for those in accessible chairs.

We had my child's birthday party there on Friday evening, and oh my goodness, we could not have had a more positive experience. Prior to party day, I spoke with Goldi on the phone. She was so kind and warm and helpful, it felt like I was talking to an old friend. She answered every question and was amazing. The day of the party, I was greeted at the entrance with the bright shining faces of Makayla, Goldi, Lisa and Brett. From the second I walked in, they were a cohesive, unbelievably efficient team. Just as Goldi had made me feel on the phone, all four of them made me and all of my guests feel completely at home. My husband and I divided and conquered party day, so I was the solo party prepper (or so I thought!). Goldi and Lisa, like a real life Sonic and Tails, whipped up a beautiful party area for our group with personalized touches, tailored to my son's interests. They did the *work* part, ALL of the *work* part, and let me creatively direct. I let them know my son gets nervous when being sung to, center of attention, etc. and they were beautifully accommodating to that, including pushing off the Huggie parade until he was comfortable. Lisa (Huggie! :]) was patient and fun with all of the kids. Goldi was her right hand lady (literally) to keep things moving, fun and safe. We had one little girl in our party who wanted to see Huggie, but was scared to get close and crying. Goldi approached her so gently and kindly, demystifying the aspects of Huggie she was worried about, and giving the little girl space to choose. Our girl got a huge smile, ran to Huggie and HUGGED him. A child who just moments before was hiding behind her friend in fear, smiling her tears away and facing her fears. It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Makayla stayed at the front for the first half of the party, and I'm so happy she did because although we'd have loved her company, having her as the first person you are greeted by is a great call by KE Ballwin, because she is sunshine in human form. She kept the lines moving safely and efficiently in both directions, while chatting with and brightening the days of those entering and leaving. She and Brett took over as the primary party people once Goldi and Lisa had to leave, and Goldi physically brought us together to thank me for coming, and verbally handing us off to Makayla, so all of us were on the exact same page the whole time. Brett was also incredibly helpful and seems to be like a backstage manager. It seemed as if they were physically positioned in a way to be able to communicate and work together effortlessly, even from across that giant building! He could not have been sweeter or more helpful either, even reminding me a couple times to absolutely not lift a finger cleaning up our party. I did not have one single minute of stress from the time I reserved my party time to the time we got home with that post-successful party joy! If I ran the world, Goldi, Lisa, Makayla and Brett would get a raise! But at the very least, I feel their kind hearts, work ethics, and clear expertise deserve to be recognized.Thanks so much, guys!

The adults don't have to pay, but still get to participate. Everything seemed really clean which feels rare for a play place like this. We took advantage of the $6 snack box which I felt like was a good deal considering what you get/how it would be priced separately. My daughter (3) had the time of her life and has been begging to go back ever since. I have to shoutout the employee who was working, Goldie, because she made the whole experience so smooth and she went out of her way to be helpful to us. We will be returning soon!!

I once picked up my piece and it looked a little lumpy and the paint had some specks on it, I called and they asked me to bring it back and then refired it with no fuss at all. After that it was perfect. They were very accommodating and I would suggest this place to anyone.

We will definitely be back to make more pottery and hopefully a class!
