The decaf peppermint mocha iced latte I got was very good and reasonably priced. My total with the $8 playroom fee was around $13. I usually spend that much at other coffee shops! I will be back for more than the playroom!

I will have a party here any day. The hostesses here were 100% hands on. All I did was bring the…read moredecorations and food I wanted, but I didn't even have to do that. They have supplies and partner with a pizzeria nearby. I'm extra and so is my child. She wanted a "Mermaid Glow Dance Party". This venue has the glow dance party down to a science. They allowed me to bring my own ballon theme in, but they also have ballon options as an add on. Booking was EASY, but the best part for me was when I dropped everything off the morning of the party (because they set everything up for you), and ordered from the cafe. Their muffins. . . SO good. They have lots of other options in the café also. All I can sum it up with is you have to look at their website and visit their cafe. They have SO much to offer, including cookie decorating, camps during breaks, and so much more. The best venue I've ever used and was definitely worth the price.

I had the opportunity to visit Inspire Martial Arts recently. I was there to present an educational…read moreprogram for some of the children who attend there. I was very impressed with both the children, the young adult volunteers, and the staff. The children were very engaged in our presentation. I could not have asked for more respectful and cheerful little ones. The teenage volunteers were very helpful and very interested as well. The staff were very involved with the youngins' and with our group. I was quite taken by their respect and patience towards the children and the animals we brought. I wish I lived closer so I could get my boys there!

My 5 year old started at VIGS about 4 months ago. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Since we are homeschooling…read morethis year we were able to join a class at a discounted rate which an awesome surprise. I am personally not a fan of sports activities after 5pm so the 1:15pm class is perfect for us. The instructors have all been great with the kids. I did prefer the class when it was a bit smaller but who can blame all these kids for wanting to come here! (They also added another instructor when the class got bigger.) It's not just kids running around here, they are learning real technique & get a serious workout while having fun. I definitely recommend VIGS! PS. For anyone worried about Covid they follow all reccomendations. Masks, temperature checks, distancing, & they sanitize between each session.

I have been beyond frustrated with my experience at VIGS. They have recently switched to a new…read moreonline registration system, which even their office manager admits is frustratingly difficult. Your kids are auto-enrolled in each subsequent 5-week session prior to the current session ending. They refuse to offer a refund for a 5 week session that 2 of my kids were auto enrolled in. They will not allow the payment to be applied to a different session or summer camp. Their online system does not keep track of unused sessions for make-up purposes. Customer service is not even on their radar here - staff is openly rude. Choose a better option for gymnastics for your kids! We've had a great experience at CORE Kids Academy!

My son just finished a seasonal show of Queen songs and absolutely loved it, and is set to start a new season with Eagles/Fleetwood Mac. I think that this school is a hidden gem, honing these young musicians and helping them with all elements of their performance, including an actual "performance" at the end of the season (at a live venue)! Their customer service is fantastic, the instructors are talented and caring, and I really see musical growth & a newfound confidence in my child. Rock on!
