    Thanksgiving 2008
    Rita M.

    With the upcoming holidays, I thought I'd write a few reviews for the little ones and for those that will be shopping for them. For those of you that have not had the pleasure: there are two ways to enjoy BAB, you can take a small person there to pick out and create a creature, or you can go there yourself and create a creature for someone else. All of the BABs in the Atlanta area that I have been to are very nice, but this particular location at Town Center Mall in Cobb is a favorite for my kids - the workers always seem to have smiling faces and infinite patience, no matter how many little "bear makers" are swarming the store. There always seems to be someone to help the little people, and no one seems to want to rush the process of the "making" of the bear/bunny/pig/cow/creature (which is a huge part of the whole experience, down to kissing the little fabric heart before it's placed inside the new friend with the stuffing, and printing the birth certificate.) Build-A-Bear is geared for marking special occasions, but I have found that the price range rivals buying any decent toy at ToysRUs, and the kids seem to have a pride of ownership with these toys (frugal tip: Check for online coupons - there always seem to be one or two). My daughter is such a BAB fan that she keeps her eyes open at yardsales and thrift stores to "rehome" any abandoned BAB creatures, and the store is nice enough to reissue new "birth certificates" even for those creatures, if you take them with you when you visit the store. Something new that has been added this year is a virtual world of 'BAB', so your kid can recreate his creature online and interact with other kids and their animals in a cute little virtual world. So, if you want something a little different for the little people, and you want to be the "cool aunt" (or uncle) this year, work BAB into your plans, or at the very least, pick up a gift card at the grocery or drugstore and make plans to visit with your kid after the holidays. Oh, and don't blame me if you find yourself wanting a creature or two for yourself. And, the BAB clothing fits very small dogs to a T. Don't ask me how I know that.

    First timer at a place like this (at the ripe age of 28) and it was a blast !!! We visited on a…read moreslow Sunday evening so it was pretty empty which was great for our large group to have fun. But most importantly we want to recognize the great hospitality we received from CHRISTIAN!! We were immediately greeted with a big smile and high energy!! Any time we found ourselves needing anything, Christian got us, not even being dramatic. Someone in the group rolled their ankle and he promptly got us ice packs in between helping other guests. Another friend lost their wallet but thanks to Christian's awareness, he saw it was left on the counter and kept it to the side for lost and found. Keep up the good work Christian we thank you for your excellent customer service !!

    Jayden* was a good host! He was very attentive and very helpful. Very professional! Thank you for…read moreyour warm hospitality The pizza was ice cold But hey it was from PJ! The decor and set was nice for a kid We had our time to jump. We were kindly reminded that our time was up in five minutes As we gathered our guest, a girl LOUDLY spoke across the mic that it was time to go and go now! Urban Air or Catch Air does NOT KICK YOU OUT -not in this manner. Give us time to gather our guest for an adequate head count so we may all exit safely and together. We do NOT need you yelling LOUDLY over a speaker to remind us of anything. It is not packed It was not packed! It wasn't like there was a lot of children. Policies are just that-Professionalism should be that! Redirect your staff to be more professional because reviews like these will keep guest away from your establishment! These parties are NOT CHEAP We will never visit again

    Urban Air is the kind of place that makes you forget you're an adult for a minute…read more From the moment we walked in, it felt like controlled chaos in the best possible way. There are go-karts (which were genuinely fun), a zip line that suspends you over the entire park, ball pit dodgeball, arcade games, a skywalk-style ropes course jungle gym, a gladiator foam pit, VR experiences, and just about every high-energy activity you can imagine. It's basically a giant indoor adventure park. My son had an absolute blast. Shoes off, special socks on, running from station to station like he had discovered his personal paradise. We ended up signing up for a membership, which felt worth it since friends get half off when he brings them. That alone made it feel like we'll be back often. For parents, there's a café with pretty decent pizza and massage chairs scattered throughout the park where you can actually sit and pay for a quick massage while your kid burns off all their energy. I appreciated that the bathrooms were relatively clean, especially for a place with this much traffic. I skipped the popcorn because it looked a little dried out, but everything else we tried was solid. My only real critiques: staffing seemed a bit thin. Some of the teens working there appeared more focused on chatting with friends than actively monitoring the stations. And personally, I found it a little dark inside, which made it harder for me to keep eyes on my kid. That might just be my "I'm not 22 anymore" moment talking. Overall though, if you have an energetic kid and want a place where they can truly go all out, Urban Air delivers. It's loud, it's active, it's a little chaotic, and it's a whole lot of fun.

There are lots of things to do to wear the kids out. Most things were in working order. I hope they maintain the facilities. Definitely recommended for kids.
