We celebrated our son's 4th birthday at Xtreme Energy Paramus and purchased the Energy Party…read morePackage. We had an amazing experience, and most importantly, the kids had an absolute blast! We chose an Avengers theme, and I was really impressed with how everything came together. The themed setup was colorful, detailed, and looked great in photos. The Avengers cake was especially cute and much more elaborate than I expected, with different superhero details incorporated throughout. Our son was so excited when he saw everything. The entire planning process was incredibly easy. Communication leading up to the party was organized, with clear deadlines for confirming our headcount, theme, cake, catering, and other details. We made a few changes along the way, and as long as we communicated them within a reasonable amount of time before the party, the staff was very accommodating and made the adjustments without making the process stressful. One of the best parts for us as parents was how little we actually had to do. Xtreme Energy coordinated the decorations, cake, activities, food, and overall flow of the party, which allowed us to actually enjoy our son's birthday rather than spending the entire time setting up, serving food, organizing the kids, and cleaning up. A special shoutout to our party host, Pookie, who was AMAZING! She did such a great job keeping the party organized and moving smoothly. She guided the kids from activity to activity, had everyone wash their hands before eating, organized them for pictures, and managed all of the transitions throughout the party. Having someone handle those little details made such a difference and was one of the reasons the party felt so effortless for us. We also ordered catering for the adults. The catering is pricey, but the food was overall good quality and having everything provided onsite was very convenient. I also loved that coffee for the adults was included with our party package--a small detail, but one that was definitely appreciated by the parents! Something important to know when budgeting is that outside food is not permitted, so if you want additional food for the adults, you need to order catering through Xtreme Energy. You can bring your own additional cake or cupcakes, but they must be nut-free. A few other things that are helpful for parents to know before booking: grip socks are required for the kids, so I recommend bringing extras for anyone who forgets theirs. Otherwise, they are $3 per pair onsite. Parents are not permitted inside the actual play area, although parents are still responsible for supervising their own children. The zip line also has a height requirement, so depending on the ages and heights of your guests, not every child may be able to participate in every activity. The kids had SO much fun, and there was plenty to keep them entertained throughout the party. Seeing how excited our son and his friends were made the experience especially memorable for his 4th birthday. Another thoughtful touch was that they gave our son two passes to come back for future visits as a birthday gift, which we really appreciated. This is certainly a splurge for a children's birthday party, especially once you add additional guests and adult catering, but after experiencing it, I understand what you're paying for. Between the entertainment, customized themed setup, cake, food, organization, and excellent service, they take care of almost all of the party logistics for you. Would we spend this much on every birthday? Probably not, but I absolutely think it was worth doing to make his 4th birthday extra special. We left with a very happy birthday boy, happy guests, great pictures and memories, and very little work or stress on our part. Pookie and the rest of the Xtreme Energy team did a fantastic job. For us, it was absolutely worth the splurge!

She loves getting the free playdohs from the vending machines, make shapes and watch them animate in giant screen. The foam pool is also a popular area. There's also the PJ mask theme activities. Gradually this place is getting more popular and crowded. But it also becoming repetitive for us. Maybe the management can introduce some rotating activities to keep it interesting for the kids. The staff do a nice job of keeping the place organized and clean. They are very friendly as well. Love having the option to have this activity spot as an option when most things are closed on Sundays.

The play area itself was very clean. We went on a Sunday and it was super chill, not packed at all. Paid $27 because I needed socks. There were two men and one girl working at the front. They were attentive to any kids attempting to leave ( mine included lol). The girl was constantly cleaning, organizing, and restocking the entire time. The men, however, were mostly on their phones, and the reason it bothered me was because the place was nearly empty and the bathroom clearly needed attention. One of them even heard me mention it on the way out and still didn't bother to check it. If my toddler had been potty trained, I honestly would've left to take her somewhere else to use the bathroom. I was really disappointed because when you're serving children, cleanliness should be a priority throughout the entire establishment. If the place had been packed or they seemed understaffed, I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to mention it, but in this case it just didn't make sense.

The day I came, 2 children had gotten injured & the lady at the front made sure they were both okay. One kid had blood gushing out of his head, and another got bumped in the face & suffered from swelling & bruising. I also noticed that the lady at the front (possibly the owner?) kept reorganizing the blocks, balls, chairs & tables, which was nice to see. Another kid got a nose bleed & she cleaned it up immediately. The bathroom is clean, which is a big plus. My 2 kiddies played for 5+ hours, we went out to the food court, ate & returned. It was a day well spent. Overall, Go PlayLand at Paramus Park Mall is a great place, for all day play; it's clean/ well-kept, I'll definitely be back.

Also, something parents will appreciate is the gift shop is sort of hidden(in the best way possible for parents who don't want to buy anything else). So, no arguing w my child as we're leaving a nice day there. Many kids places set parents up for arguments about "extra" stuff to buy left and right, it didn't feel that way. Thank you:) Very well done will be back every season. Love to support a local small business that has put a lot of sweat and tears I'm sure into their business.

Oak Ridge, NJ - calling all influencers! This place is hugely Instagrammable and super enchanting!…read moreLol. Mariah Carey even shot her Christmas music video here. But you don't have to care about snapping cute pics to appreciate that Fairy Tale Forest is an absolute wholesome delight for children and for adults to live their childhood nostalgia. There is a real magical forest feel as you wander through the park, which isn't large, but the life-size storybook cottages and fairy tale sets are beautifully detailed and lovingly restored. The grounds are clean and well-manicured (a sign says the gardens are curated by Raine Garden Designs). A list of daily events & activities are posted such as magic shows, live music, and character meet & greets. The staff and actors are all warm and friendly. My child loved running around and exploring, participating in the activities, but I enjoyed it just as much if not more. There are shaded picnic tables under umbrellas (next to the Bluebird Stage so you can catch a show while you eat). The food is from the on-site restaurant Fables, and is quite good, certainly better than your average amusement park fare (I was really happy to get a proper salad!). The restaurant is only open for private parties/events/rentals at the moment, but I'm told they hope to have it up and running at some point. The interior is also themed. There is a reasonably priced gift shop with a nice selection of toys, souvenirs, costumes, and gifts. I would say this park is suitable for younger kids, maybe up to 8 or even an unjaded 10yo (have your kids dress up as knights, wizards, princesses, and fairy tale characters!). It's also kind of a cool spot for a date. This is an "analog" park with some animatronics, and you shouldn't expect any dazzling razzmatazz or high-octane thrills. Six Flags it ain't. But come with the right mindset for the unique experience this is and you won't be disappointed. It's good ol' fashioned throwback family fun and brings back an era that doesn't exist anymore. Indeed, many NJ locals have fond memories of this park from when they were young. It was built in the 1950s by an industrious German dude and features scenes from Grimm's Fairytales that his mother used to read to the family, and was expanded with more set pieces over the next couple of decades. Unfortunately it closed down in 2003 and FINALLY reopened last year, after efforts were stalled during the pandemic. All I can say is goooo and visit this charming, singular, and uncorporatized attraction, and support a still founding family-owned local business. It's a complete joy!

The spot has three bounce houses, one obstacle bounce course and a battery car track. Kids can operate them themselves. There are few toys and dolls spread around the place for sale. Even though there are limited things from an adult's perspective, kids seem to have lots fun within these options. I suggest getting the 1 hour ticket, its worth and drains some more energy out of the kids. Overall a good spot for a random weekend hangout. The food court is right across this place. Perfect for having a meal post activity.

In the Spring, their garden center simply can't be beat. I purchase flats of vegetables for my garden here, and the plants always do incredibly well. Healthy, good producers, and for a great price.

Fresh milk, vegetables, and eggs are also amazing. However, we LOVE their meats. You can't go wrong with any of them. The petting zoo is great for children and families. It is certainly elaborate and fun. Staff are kind and helpful, always willing to strike up conversation. Prices are reflective of the quality here. We love it. Try it out!

Do not come here if you breastfeed your baby. I was having a…read morenice day picking flowers and veggies until I made my way to the market. My baby got hungry, so I looked for a place to nurse him. The only sitting area around (aside from the pumpkin garden that had no seats available) was a small secluded room next to the wine section. There were no customers there. So I made my way to a stool, took out my nursing poncho (I'm European so for me breastfeeding is completely natural, nonetheless I understand and respect the fact that other people might get distracted by it so I still wear a poncho to cover myself in public) and was about to take my baby out of his stroller when a lady working in the counter asked me what was I looking for. I replied "nothing thanks I just have to nurse him". She then stopped in complete shock, looked at me in disgust and said "You CANNOT DO THAT HERE". I think I was just as in shock upon hearing this in the 21st century, in a so-called "family-friendly" place. I quickly got up, turned away, and had to go all the way back to my car with my crying baby to be able to feed him. Of course as soon as I finished breastfeeding him in my car, I drove off, and I will for sure never drive into this place again. Nor will I recommend it to any other moms. Really sucky experience for a postpartum woman, who just moved into town, and was very excited to take her baby to the farm. I had booked my tickets a couple days ago and what I expected to be a fun farm day turned out to be an experience where I felt judged and discriminated for having to do something as physiological as feeding my baby. I understand a room next to a wine-selling section might not be an ideal place to nurse, trust me, it wasn't for me either. But the lady could have been a LOT nicer, much less judgy, and be polite enough to guide me into a better place to feed my baby rather than making me go away as if I was gross. I think if you work in a customer-facing role in a family farm, being this rude to a family should be a deal breaker and managing these situations with kindness should be non-negotiable. And if you're a place that "welcomes" families with kids of all ages, you should also expect some breastfeeding moms might have to feed their children.. And either have a place for them to do so, or good enough manners to handle the situation. But maybe that's just me. Extremely bizarre day for me and my family.
