I was a bit worried reading mixed reviews, but I'm glad my kids (4y/o) got to experience the cafe…read more The interior is very cute and I could tell a lot of thought went into this play space. You do have to sign waivers for your kids before you play, I do believe you can sign them online if you want to save time. Adults and kids are required to have grippy socks and they have cubbies to place your shoes. Though, there were a lot of adults wearing their shoes through the area somehow.. the first play zone has tunnels and slides. Then you walk into another area with seating booths. Past that there is a dark area with water tables (fishing) and then a blacklight sandpit area. The sandpit is where my kids had a lot of fun, however there really isn't any seating to watch your kids if you need to, so prepare to get sandy too. I believe they have a private breastfeeding area around as well. The last area is very open. It has a baby area, cafe, a nice smaller play structure, and random things. One thing I will say some kids were a little wild on the push carousel, so if you have younger ones I definitely would watch that area. There are no employees that monitor any of the areas, so it is very parent driven. Ventilation is very poor. Cleanliness, pretty decent for having kids everywhere. Food: generic, but my kids ate it and my coffee was good. Came within an hour. Pro tip: bring change of socks for after because most likely you will have sand! My kids definitely didn't want to leave, so I'll be coming back.

And the theming is so fun :) It is always very clean and it was obvious to me that safety was taken very seriously. Which as a mom was top of my list! We booked a party for his birthday last month and it was perfect. So much fun for all the kids and I didn't have to clean or set up! It is a little pricey, but it felt more than worth it to me. The planner and hostess were both great and communication was great for us. Also yummy food and the coffee is good too, all of which was really affordable. Would love more kids meal options! My son doesn't have any allergies but if your kids do there are still lots of options. Highly recommend!! So happy this is now in our community.

As someone who has volunteered at the California Raptor Center in Davis, CA for 3 years (and counting) and is also a primary handler/trainer of two education ambassadors (a Swainson's Hawk and a Peregrine Falcon), as well as an aspiring falconer, I am pretty well-versed in raptors. Therefore, Cascades Raptor Center was a no-brainer stop on our trip. It was a pretty warm day, as OR had just experienced a heat wave. The raptor center overall was very well-kept, with over 30 education ambassadors on display. All the enclosures were very clean and organized. There were various trainers in several enclosures working with their respective birds when we went, and one volunteer even had a peregrine falcon out on glove for the public to enjoy up close and to ask questions about. We actually made it just in time for the last flight show of the season, and boy was it a blast!! Hans the Eurasian-Eagle-Owl was the star of the show, but I thoroughly enjoyed the entire program. As you can see in the photos below, I snapped some lovely shots of the birds with my DSLR. Here I am sharing some of my favorites. The admission fee was worth it, especially as the raptor center mainly functions from donations. We also shopped at the little gift shop after for some mementos to take home. I would love to revisit on our next trip to OR!

It's a large space filled with plenty of things to…read morekeep young bodies and minds busy, and there is also a separate snack room, nursery/changing area and bathrooms. Tiny Tots is located within a church, but they are NOT affiliated and only rent the space. It is also a co-op, which means in addition to paying to join (very reasonable fee) you are required to complete a handful of duties to help keep things running smoothly here, but I think the extra commitment is fair and easy to do. It is only open/available from September - June, coinciding with the regular school year

At 11 months, he can't yet play with all of the toys, but he loves all of the open space to crawl and the soft blocks to climb on. He also really loves watching and following the bigger kids around. As a parent, I love having a playground that is safe and never too crowded as well as indoors when the weather is bad. I have gotten a few other families to join because it is nice to meet up there. We can relax a bit while the kids play rather than hosting a playdate at our houses. I also really like that it is a non-profit run by the parents and that it is co-op style, so everyone pitches in to keep the playground clean and well-run. It is nice to have a space we are all invested in.

Would definitely visit again. We went with a group of 7 adults and one child…read more Employees were friendly. Food is good(a little pricey) We tried 4 pizzas, breadsticks, romaine house salad, mozzarella sticks, boneless wings, and fries. Everything was good and came with dipping sauces without having to ask. The arcade area definitely needs some repair. A lot of the games weren't working at all, or appeared to be working but would just take your credit and then not work. Laser tag was closed, which was a little disappointing since we saw an ad for a laser tag deal on Thursday's. Mini golf was fun! Not any special theme or anything, but the course is fun and I would do it again. We heard an employee say "if you're in the building we won't kick you out" and that was indeed true. They let us finish our round of mini golf(that we started way to late) and didn't say a word.

Very disrespectful to their patrons. Went in for a date night with my wife. We played a round of…read moremini golf and then bought an arcade card to play some games. We had racked up over 200 tickets playing skee ball, basketball, etc. So far we were enjoying ourselves. We played the coin drop game and were able to push over a tower and get several bonuses and racked up over 500 tickets on the drop alone plus another 200 or so in bonuses. We checked our ticket balance and it hadn't registered any of the tickets from the coin drop. I went to a worker there who told us since we had no "proof" of that many tickets that she couldn't justify giving us the full amount. She only gave us a partial credit (way less than half of what we were owed). Who knew we needed to record ourselves winning so many tickets to "prove" we weren't liars?! We still had money left on our arcade card and had been planning to order dinner there, but the whole experience soured us from patronizing them any further and we left. We aren't sure we will return to spend the rest of our credit on the arcade card, or redeem tickets we had accrued (minus a few hundred). It was just very disrespectful.

We are home visiting my mom and I definitely need something to do with my toddler at times. Though…read moreI grew up here I've never had a kid here so I'm at a disadvantage! But I found Bounce has some open gym times and we jumped on it (oops, didn't actually mean the pun) this weekend. I think they have them regularly on the weekend and are having more during spring break. The place is great. There's a section that has about six trampolines and my kiddo loved that--her first time on a trampoline (and I'm definitely never going to have one of those in my backyard so she can enjoy it at a place like this). There were bars and rings, different heights for different kids, and other equipment for them to enjoy. Upstairs there was some stuff as well, and rumor had it there was a slide up there, but we didn't get up there. They open gym for different age groups; there's a preschool group for kids under 5 and then one for kids up to 12 or so. My daughter was probably the youngest here on this particular day but the other kids were careful of her and kind given she's at a different developmental stage as them. I bought a package of six open gym passes (it's six for the price of five) since they don't expire, so we'll either use them on this visit or carry some over to a future visit. They also have some merchandise, like leotards and stuff. After all, they are a gymnastics school. Kids must have their socks and shoes off when playing but adults can keep their socks on--adults have to be right there with their kids as they play--so there are some cubbies in one of the room to drop your stuff. Don't forget to put your shoes back on if you use the washroom though. The parking situation was confusing--even looking at the sign I still couldn't quite figure it out. Just remember to park in an unmarked space.

This is a great spot with so much stuff for littles to climb, push, bounce on, etc. and a big plus is that there are lots of trampolines so no turn waiting! The bathrooms are big and clean, and reception was nice when we came in. It's a little more expensive than the other place we frequent but Bounce does have more open gym times available so it's nice to have more options for most days of the week.
