This converted indoor warehouse space boasts multiple interactive play areas, each themed towards a…read moreparticular profession or business: fire department, news station, bakery, doctor's office, veterinarian, etc. Each comes loaded with props and costumes, so the little ones can play dress-up and let their imaginations run wild! There are also a handful of playground toys, rides, slides and other attractions, complete with foam padding, safety nets and flashing lights, guaranteed to attract their attention! Admission is $28 per child (with one "free" adult allowed to accompany them) with no time restrictions. Posters in the restrooms also advertise special "after-hours" events, such as a Nerf War night for 8+ year olds, which sounds like a blast, even for an old kid-at-heart like me! About the only thing to complain about would be the rather terse and aloof staff running the front desk and managing the expected intake forms and disclaimers - they could be a little more lively and upbeat, if you ask me. That said, they do a good job keeping up the place, performing routine rounds to put toys away, vaccum, wipe things down, and generally get everything squared away in an orderly fashion.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE There's not a lot of options for…read morechildren's museums in Vancouver, but the World of Kidtropolis provides a sure bet when you're looking for something for your kids (perhaps aged 8 or younger?) to do! === 2. OFFERING For $21 (or $19 with a punch card), you get admission for one adult and child for two hours. This gives you access to: - Activities for toddlers and younger elementary school-aged children; - Motion-based activities (like a climbable treehouse and slides and merry-go-round - which costs $1); - Role play-based activities (like an airplane, firehouse, police station, farm house, gas/service station, fifth-wheel camper, hospital, dentist, restaurant, food market, post office/bank, news station, ice cream stand, school, and animal hospital); - Three party rooms (two on the main floor and one upstairs); - A cafeteria; and, - Three motion-based vehicles for children (they move back and forth in one spot) that costs $1 each: a bus, ice cream truck, and a car. ...because of the $1-based rides, you made find yourself needing to bring a lot of coins (only loonies accepted) and spending more than just $19 :) Like many other children's museums, the role-playing areas are often sponsored and logo'd by local businesses. === 3. SERVICE At the reception, staff are friendly; staff are friendly in helping as needed between the overall cleanings and play-area-resets they do every two hours. We did not come here for a party, and so can't comment on the experience with them hosting parties (though we observed what looked like a Spiderman-based parties with themed balloons and someone in costume). === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's bright and the high ceilings give a feeling of openness; the areas can also be easily traversed by people of all ages and abilities. Wheelchairs and baby strollers fit everywhere (except in the tightest of role-playing areas). We did not check out the restrooms while here. Parking is a bit odd as you may find yourself parking around the building/corner since many spaces in front are reserved for other businesses.

Service team is very caring and tentative, when heard it's our friend's birthday, they prepared a lovely macaron tray for us, so sweet! One negative thing is the parking, it's open for public, but without member's fob, you can't access the elevator, need to go all the way around the building to Get in. Also difficult to find the pay station, the tap at the gate is not working, made it so complicate for us to get out.

The girl at the front desk speaks Mandarin and decent English. They have a couple different rooms and you have to sign a waiver before going in. They need your ID (driver license or passport) normally waivers only ask your age (maybe birth date), name, cell, email, etc. but not necessarily an ID number. Felt a bit odd but it's alright, however, the had another opinion (example) as your ID..they asked your SIN. WHAT??!!! Who asks that? That's illegal. Unless employed or tax return, NO ONE not even job interviews or school can ask you for such information. I was skeptics and didn't sign the waiver until I get there. They are pretty lax when explaining about the waiver (actually they didn't explain at all, just said read this through ok fill it out and walked away) not rude but could be a bit more welcoming for sure. Due to Covid they are "out of items" except bottles. Fun and a decent little workout but a bit disappointed that they have nothing but bottles. I mean if you are still opened, you should still have some options. You pay $10 per person going in then you pay whatever you're bringing in or buy from them to smash. Price varies. Take about 30mins and ended pretty fast. I'm guess each "$10" is 30mins? If you finish before 30mins and want more bottles, you can go to the front desk to purchase more. Washroom is decently clean but super dark (everywhere is dark) black walls, some lights not working, and one stall wasn't work either (meaning only one stall left. Parking lot right outside though. I'd say it's really fun but with the distance, price, and the fact that's there's only bottles..I might go there after a long while. Definitely not a place I'd go often or recommend to everyone.

Came here for a wedding. (disclaimer)…read more Free parking is available in the immediate vicinity, but you can also pay to park in the SFU lots. The venue itself is quite beautiful. It's a nice cozy venue, with a banquet hall on the upper floor, and a smaller room for the wedding ceremony below. The view is amazing from either floor. While the venue is very beautiful, I must say I was not happy with the staffing levels. The wedding couple had paid for a bartender, but he/she was nowhere to be seen 80% of the time. Guests were getting confused on where to get drinks. This problem actually dragged on throughout the entire night. Subtract 1 star there. The other problem? The insect control isn't the best here. Flies were buzzing all around during both the wedding ceremony and the dinner. Some screen doors would've been nice. The catered food they make here is decent overall. Come for the view, not for the staff.

The cocktail hour had so much food coming out of the kitchen that it didn't matter if we were standing at the back of the room or at the front - food made it out to everyone and just kept coming. And the staff were all charming and friendly. But the dinner.... oh, the dinner. It was SO GOOD. I can't say I ate a single thing that was even close to marginal in taste, it was all so well prepared and delicious. When a table full of women sees multiple trips to get more, you know it's good food. And of course, the view is fabulous and parking was free. Can't really beat that.

I would never bring my kid here again…read more I bought a 1 hr drop in session through livingsocial and I thought it would be fun for my 4-year-old. Since it was advertised as a class, I imagined there would be activities or enough supervision to satisfy a child for one hour. NOOOOOOO... they basically gave us one piece of paper and paint, then go ahead, do your thing kid. No instructions, no activities, no prompts. For extra paper or canvas you have to pay extra. That didn't make sense to me. If you were to advertise it as a one hour class, then it's a one hour class. Enough activities to fill up an hour. If it is an art session for one painting, then it's a session with supplies included for ONE painting. That wasn't the worst thing though. We came back earlier than the one hour mark to check up on my girl. We found her wandering around the foyer area with absolutely no supervision. It was a completely open area from the back to the front so any child can just wander off, or worse, any person can walk in and just grab a child. Their staff should have done something to keep her inside. Scrap paper, crayons, play dough, ANYTHING. And for that matter, even if they couldn't handle her, ISN'T THAT WHY WE LEFT THEM TWO CELL PHONE NUMBERS?!?!! When we picked her up, no one noticed, no one acknowledged us. If I were a kidnapper, Kidoodles is the place to go. That was completely unacceptable and the staff were completely irresponsible. NEVER again.
