    This place has been on my radar for a while, and I'm genuinely kicking myself for not coming…read moresooner. We visited on a Friday afternoon during the school year and it was the perfect day for it, not crowded at all, staff was warm and attentive everywhere you turned, and there was just so much to explore across two floors. As a homeschool mom, I am always on the lookout for places where kids are learning without even realizing it and this delivered completely. My little ones were engaged the entire time, bouncing between exhibits and coming back to do things on repeat. The water table on the second floor was a huge hit (dam building = instant obsession), the crawl-through body exhibit had them giggling the whole way through, and the immersive hall with the giant projector and the orchestra activity where they put their faces into the performers? They talked about that the whole ride home. We timed our visit to catch the 3 o'clock otter feeding and training, definitely worth planning around. Maybe 30 people gathered and it was totally manageable and really sweet to watch. What surprised me most was how engaged I was as an adult. I was genuinely learning things alongside my kids, which is not always the case at these types of places. It felt appropriate and interesting for every age in our group. A few things to know before you go: follow the directions on their website for the specific parking garage , it's about a 5-minute walk and was only $5 for us. Strollers and wagons are totally doable with elevators throughout. They also have a café if you want to make a full day of it, and rotating special exhibits (always check the website ahead of time so you know what's on and whether it fits your crew). We stayed about two and a half hours and left happy. Already thinking about when we're coming back.

    Very overpriced. I feel bad for the large local families who can't get in at all or can't get in to…read morethe "special" exhibit. I have seen every special exhibit and let me tell ya - not worth any extra fee, especially what they charge. But with that said the Da Vinci center is only really worth it for the "special exhibit". It REALLY pays off to become a member even if you think you'll go once a season. Nothing so impressive. No real meaningful selling points. It's just okay. I liked it better when it was on CC. Go on Sundays. It's empty and street parking is free.

The male…read moremanager, Javier, conducted himself in a manner that was overtly disrespectful and unprofessional. His demeanor immediately created an atmosphere that made both my daughter and me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. The overall environment reflected poor leadership. Several employees appeared visibly uneasy and disengaged, suggesting a workplace culture lacking basic respect and support. In addition to the concerning management behavior, the pricing was excessively high relative to the quality of service provided. The combination of inflated prices, uncomfortable atmosphere, and questionable managerial conduct made this one of the most unpleasant child's experiences I have encountered.

    I recently hosted my daughter's birthday party at Slime Time 2, and it was hands-down one of the…read moreworst experiences I have ever had with any event venue. From the moment we walked in, the owner greeted us with an extremely negative, rude attitude--as if our presence was an inconvenience rather than a paid reservation. He acted like he was doing us a favor by letting us use the space, and his dismissive behavior toward my guests set an awful tone for the entire event. He even walked around counting heads in a way that made everyone uncomfortable. What made matters worse was the complete lack of transparency about additional charges. We were **never** told--verbally or in writing--that there would be a $75 fee if the party did not clear out immediately at the end of the scheduled time. At the end of the evening, they claimed they made "two calls" for the end of the party, but I never heard them. Instead of explaining or offering any accommodation, the owner was rude, confrontational, and flat-out disrespectful. His exact attitude was: *"It's my place, I can do what I want."* That alone tells you everything about the customer service here. The issues didn't stop there. * The pizza, which we were told would be double-cut, was **not**, and it was served **cold**. * The attendants did **not** assist late-arriving guests; I had to repeatedly ask for help. * Overall service was unprofessional, inattentive, and dismissive. * The atmosphere they created made us feel like we were just another number, not valued customers who had paid for a special day. I left this venue upset, disappointed, and honestly shocked at how poorly we were treated. I would **not** recommend Slime Time 2 to anyone--especially not for a child's birthday party. The center Valley location in particular was a complete letdown in every way. Terrible customer service, poor communication, and an owner who seems to care more about exerting control than providing a positive experience. Save yourself the frustration. Do **not** book here.

The entrance is a little weird to get to with a bunch of twists and turns, but once you get inside you're greeted by the front desk. We dealt with two different gentlemen (not sure on their names). They were both incredibly friendly, funny, and made our experience super enjoyable. We ended up playing our first round with a large childrens birthday party where the kids stomped us in rankings. Definitely a blast, even if we didn't know them. The second and third game were played with just us two. The arena is HUGE and of course dark. With the different obstacles and maze-like set up, it is actually pretty scary snooping around looking for one person. We ended up unintentionally scaring each other so bad so many times that we almost lost our voices. It was a total blast. The prices are great, staff is friendly, and the games whether with a huge group or just one on one are incredibly fun. We will definitely be back and bringing friends. Thank you Planet Trog for letting us be kids and truly enjoying it!

(Admission otherwise is only $3 for adults and $2 for kids 2-17). There's animals/insects inside such as owls, huge cockroaches, giant turtle, snakes. And a cute reading corner full of nature books. There's also a discovery den AKA play area indoors for $1. There's animals/insects outdoors such as turkey vultures, turtles, a butterfly house and a bird observatory (cute on the inside with toys for the kiddos - be sure to read the story about the couple who opened the center). And a natural playscape outdoors. There's also a bunch of fairy houses throughout the property that girl scouts donated. And lots of trails through the forest. They also have Magic Mornings for ages 2-4 Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - but register ahead as they only have a certain amount of spots each day (it's seasonal - they have in fall and spring but not summer - see website). It's an hour class for $10 and includes a snack, craft, nature walk etc. They usually pull out an animal each class. It's great to get some time in nature with other kids. In summer, they have a full week of Magic Mornings in their Itty Bitty Briar Camp. Ms. Heidi teaches it and she is just great. They have a different theme every day such as sun, water, clouds etc and there's an activity each day (visit pond and catch tadpoles, water play, craft pertaining to theme). They have preschool pioneers for ages 4-5 and summer camp for older kids for a week in late June. *Just beware in June that parking is limited due to school field trips and you may not fit in either of the lots; you may have to park out front of the house to the left (which is fine - she just doesn't want buses idling there) They also have field trips to gardens and to the shore, classes for seniors, family nature nights, hot smores nights... Only negative (besides parking, which they can't really control), is the "snacks" for kids at Magic Mornings aren't the healthiest. One was cinnamon sugar graham crackers with whipped cream- regular would have been fine. 2 days were cheddar gold fish. Another day was blue jello with whipped cream. And some red licorice - the kind that whips. Fruit Loops were used for colors. So, if you don't like your child eating sugar, let them know you have a dietary restriction or bring your own snack (snack time is ~10 min and probably not needed but the kids always love snack time!). Some options that would be healthier and just as easy would be pretzel sticks, fruit, crackers, popcorn, veggies, string cheese...but I guess those all cost more besides pretzels/crackers/popcorn.

    KidStrong Mount Laurel has been a deeply disappointing experience for our family, both in terms of…read morethe program itself and how management handles concerns and cancellations. One thing is clear: they have refined the first free session to be highly sales driven, designed to secure sign ups and then let the contract do the work thereafter. From a financial standpoint, our mistake in enrolling has cost us $631 for four 45 minute sessions since signing up on 12/17/25. To cancel, the "solution" offered was to charge another full month plus a 50% buyout of the remaining three months--an additional $695--simply for us not to return. The introductory session was clearly focused on selling the program, with extra attention given to our child to encourage enrollment. Once we joined, the actual experience did not match what was presented. The value of the program dropped significantly when we were expected to step in and manage our child during class while staff showed visible frustration instead of providing consistent, structured support. When we raised these concerns and requested cancellation, the response centered on enforcing a six month contract, with no meaningful consideration for the disconnect between what was promised and what was delivered. The rigid reliance on the agreement felt less about fairness and more about continuing to bill us, even after it was clear we were dissatisfied and would not be returning. We do not recommend this location to other families. Parents should understand that once you sign the agreement, management appears more committed to enforcing the contract than to ensuring your experience aligns with the expectations set at the outset. KidStrong will likely respond by saying they tried to work with us, but we did return after our initial complaint and nothing changed, with no additional value provided. For context, this was the closing line from their most recent email to us after we shared our concerns and gave them an opportunity to resolve the situation privately: "You are, of course, entitled to share your experience publicly. However, our responsibility is to operate in accordance with our agreements and to apply policies evenly, not to deviate based on pressure or threats of reputational action."

I scheduled them to be ready for 6:30pm, which is an option on the app. We arrived just before 6:30pm and found a seat right in front of the pick up window. It wasn't crazy when we walked in. There were two birthday parties but they were both being called to their tables for ice cream. As the rest of my group arrived we needed to find a bigger table and the restaurant was starting to get busier. Around 6:40pm the app said that my food order was ready. I didn't see it at the window yet, so we grabbed our stuff and settled into our new spot, then I went back to check. It was still not there. At 6:45pm, I asked the person behind the window he said he would check, then came back and told me it would be another 15 minutes to make our order. I questioned why another 15 minutes if the app says my order was completed. He was a kid and of course didn't have the answers so I asked to speak to the manager. I explained to the manager my situation. I didn't expect them to be ready RIGHT at 6:30, but to have to wait until 7pm, when I pre ordered and the app said it was ready was unacceptable. I had a table full of hungry people. She said she had no control of the app and couldn't explain why it said it was ready. She took no accountability and blamed being busy for the reason the order was not ready. The restaurant was practically empty when we walked it, but it was starting to gradually get busy. I don't know their system, but I don't think it would say the order was completed unless an associate would prompt it to be. I said I would wait for the pizzas, but if they weren't ready by 7, I would like a refund and I would be leaving. By 7, the order was not ready, if not even started at all. I was issued a refund for the 9 fountain drinks I purchased at the restaurant, but was told I had to call the corporate office to get a refund for the pizzas. I was annoyed at the time that there was not a more immediate solution. I tried to call the office as soon as we left, however they were closed until Monday. When I called corporate, they took care of the refund immediately. Overall, there was a complete lack of accountability and professionalism.

So if you're sick and it was a Saturday night, the 13th, you have the flu! First and last time I ever book anything there! My son didn't even get to the ticket birthday grab. They expect us parents to let our toddlers (2yr) to go in alone in the slide attraction. Worst place ever!
