HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! If you're thinking about taking your…read moreenergetic & playful children out somewhere for fun, this is absolutely the place to have so much fun & make new memories together! I recently was invited by a family member who had made reservations for a birthday party, so I had to confirm my attendance through a link, which provided a QR to show upon arrival. Easy peasy! Overall, it was very enjoyable, even for me as a parent. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy the various snacks and drinks they have available to purchase. There's a foosball table, air hockey, bumper cars, and a Photo Booth, which most of them have to be activated with credits on a gaming card to play the game/use the car. Honestly, it was alot cleaner than other indoor play places I've been to. So props to their team for keeping it tidy & well maintained. Also, it's very toddler friendly, so if you have toddlers who are walking, there's an area for them to play safely in, which includes a ball pit, mini slides, and a mini obstacle course; but my toddler had so much fun in both areas. Note: You will need to be wearing ONLY socks at all times (preferably ones that don't come off easily & are snug). You have to take off your shoes and put them in a bin before entering the play area; which I wasn't aware beforehand & didn't bring socks, but I was in luck, because they do sell adult and children sizes anyways. Shout out to a staff member, "Bee" like "Bumblebee", she was very energetic, pleasant, and informative. She provided great service & was so kind to speak to! Update: My daughter did catch a severe cold after being here; so just keep that in mind prior to visiting!

Brats running around playing arcade games by the sack loads if you come at the wrong time right? I like the 2pm Pizza buffet crowd myself. Older folks wanting to nibble on that affordable Pizza buffet pizza and all them extra goodies. Chucky Cheese always had quality food it, the complaint was the price, now with the pizza buffet it feels like you are robbing them for that overpriced quality we have always grown to love, now we can afford to eat here right?

FWDC is truly offering something different to the community. Unlike the glitzy conformity of the…read morelocal commercial dance studios, and the high-minded technique of some of the nonprofit ballet schools, the Dance Collective has a focus on individual creative expression, dance as an art instead of a competitive commodity, and open inclusiveness. You can find things like taiko drumming, which is an amazing experience, Dances of Universal Peace, to bring your body in touch with your spiritual side, and any kind of modern you need. It never lost touch with its grassroots, and the organization is still run in a collective-style management, staying true to it's "collective" designation. Check it out if you want an open and affirming atmosphere, a friendly and familial staff, and beautiful, urban brick-walled studios.

We've had our kids at the FWDC for almost a year now. We enrolled them in summer sessions with a…read moreconcurrent Pilates class for me-- yay! The atmosphere is warm and completely noncompetitive. Both kids felt at home there right away, and I found even as a beginning Pilates student I was able to really enjoy my class. Our kids have had two different instructors so far-- and we love them both. I think our children are more in tune with their bodies now and use movement as a form of self-expression. That's exactly what we want for them. We are blissed out at FWDC, have recommended it to others, and will continue to do so.

I just adore this children's toy shop. Located on Broadway in Downtown Fort Wayne, this is the…read moreperfect place to pick up items for the little ones in your life. You can't miss it since it's painted in bright colors. My nieces were visiting and I wanted to get a few things for them to play with at my house. I found a few cute books, stickers, and coloring books. There was so much to look at and items for all ages. The proprietor is incredibly kind. The second floor is dedicated to events. My only complaint is that the parking lot behind the Hopscotch House is dedicated to another business, so you'll need to park on the street. Although, there are plenty of signs that warn you about where you can and cannot park, so it makes finding a spot much easier.
