I celebrated my son's birthday here in February and, at the time, the experience was fine. We were…read moreeven given a card for a complimentary return visit, which we decided to use as an end of school celebration for the kids. Before coming, I called the day before to ask about the timing and any restrictions. At no point was I told that my 6 year old daughter would not be allowed to enter during Toddler Hour. Had I been informed, I would have planned differently. When we arrived, my daughter was told she could not participate because she was too old. She was understandably disappointed and confused about why she was being excluded. We accepted the rule and decided we would sit together and do crafts while the younger children played. Surprisingly, we were then told she could not even enter the space with us. What I find most frustrating is the lack of practical consideration. The younger children were sold tickets and are not allowed to be left unattended, yet my older child was not permitted to remain with us. The policies seemed to contradict one another and left us in an impossible situation. I completely understand having age based rules and designated toddler play times. My issue is not the policy itself. My issue is that it was never communicated when I specifically called ahead to ask, and there was no effort made to find a reasonable solution once we arrived. The result was a very disappointed child and a family celebration that quickly turned stressful. On principle, I found the experience unsupportive and unnecessarily rigid. I left feeling disappointed by the customer service and the lack of empathy shown in handling what could have been a simple situation.

It is way bigger and has a ZIPLIIIINE Which sits to the far right side away from the toys! Every time Our kiddos come they have a blast and Heck I WANT TO STAY TILL DANG NEAR CLOSING!! ;-) Besides fun for the kids this location offers Parent's night out where they watch the kids and you get leave, Ladies Paint night which is a hoot, and various activities like parking lot water day and more! This gym is BIG compared to the other one we went to and there is so so much for the kiddos to do! One of the many things I appreciate is that while there are several swings I noticed on days when it is more crowded one or 2 are removed as to avoid kiddos swinging into other kids . However, how the gym is set up makes that less likely if a child walks the perimeter. While not because of the swing but this cute horse ramp thingy My owned kid mowed down a parent who was in her line of fire and it was both HILARIOUS (Me and the mom cracked up about it) I apologized to the mom and moved the toys back to where Ms. Tiffany originally had it -which would have avoided the accident in the first place (So my bad :-) ) I have so many things to say about how much I Enjoy We Rock The Spectrum! But the main thing is I can tell this place is run with love, integrity, and passion! We Will be back soon! *The Long Beach location closed a while ago which is why I am comfortable comparing the two. If they were still in business I would not have mentioned them.

Update 2: the owner has all ready edited their unprofessional comment towards me twice since they…read moreposted it. I received two Yelp notifications today, 5 days after the fact. Despite the edit, they are still making up lies about my child. They've also changed the language of the original comment. For example, from "my son" to "the owners son" I guess in an attempt to make it seem like someone else wrote it. It's weird if you ask me. Nobody is attacking you. If you deem every negative review as an attack against you then you should hire someone else to manage your social media. It's a bad look. I won't comment any further. Changing your comment towards me and editing it after I've responded to it is another sign of distrust. Hire an attorney and proceed with legal action if you think I'm lying. I will happily repeat everything I've said under oath and I have a witness. Update: the owner responded and essentially accused me of lying by saying my child did not get hurt there (she did although it was an accident). If that doesn't show you the level of professionalism at this place then I don't know what to tell you. To address her claims, my daughter was not upset on arriving. She became frustrated in the waiting room while we were waiting to fill out the form. Once she got into the gym she was jumping and shouting for joy. Nice job leaving that out, really helps build trust. The kid on the zip line had to be very close to middle school age. There was another kid close to middle school age as she mentioned who was likely her son. Neither one of those is the kid who stepped over and fell on my daughter. That kid was in elementary school and likely 6 years old or so. The parent even apologized when it happened. I'm guessing your cameras didn't catch that or you are being deceitful, either way it's concerning. Why else would we come in and leave after 7 minutes? I'll stand by my statement that having kids close to middle school age riding on a zip line in an area where autistic toddlers are walking around isn't exactly what I consider safe. There should at least be some padding or something blocking the path. Everything I wrote in the review is true. Instead of calling customers liars, go back and check your cameras in the play area again. My original review: If you have a toddler with autism, I would highly recommend against this place. I am really surprised that it has such a high score. Usually reviews are reliable. We took my 3 year old daughter who has slight autism here so she could check out a new place. They have you sign a liability waiver and I see why. The first thing I noticed is there are a lot of people packed into a tight area. The "gym" is about the size of our living room, maybe slightly bigger. There was a decent number of people in here for a small area. There are kids that are very young, and kids that look like they are close to entering middle school mixed together. They have a zip line, which is nice for older kids, but incredibly dangerous for kids that are toddler age. I would imagine most toddlers with autism cannot participate on the zip line, but easily could stumble into the path of it when an older kid takes off on it creating an incredibly dangerous situation. We had to keep moving our daughter away from the path that it travels as an older kid was riding it non-stop. They have a rock climbing wall, but I imagine it would be pretty hard to climb safely without shoes on (kids and adults have to remove shoes) as the parts that you step on to climb up are incredibly small compared to a normal rock climbing wall. They are about 1/4 of the size of the ones at Anderson Park, just for comparison. I just can't see how that would be comfortable for the child in the slightest. We were there for a whopping 4-5 minutes before an older kid bowled over my daughter and caused her to get hurt. She was sitting on the slide area and the kid just stepped on her and fell on her. Again, it seems like an incredibly bad idea to mix older kids with autism and toddlers with autism. $16 seemed like a fair price and the positive reviews had me excited to take her there. We left after only 4-5 minutes, $16 down the drain. I let the front desk person know this isn't a safe place for toddlers on the way out the door. They should have scheduled times for certain age ranges instead of mixing them all together. I can't think of any other establishment whether it be a daycare, school, therapy, etc where they mix kids of all age ranges together in small area with equipment that could cause possible injury.

What a wonderful experience we had with South Play! We wanted to host our son's 1st birthday party…read moresomewhere both kids and adults could enjoy, and South Play was the perfect spot. Their indoor play area kept the kids occupied for hours, and their ability to rent out the patio for all of the tables/chairs/food for adults was wonderfully accommodating. We selected the VIP package and we truly felt VIP! Lili and her team took care of everything - setting up the entry room beautifully on theme, ordering food for all adults and children, having cupcakes ready for the kids, among others! The staff was extremely helpful, taking care of putting away/storing all gifts, getting cake cutting ready, and cleaning up quickly at the end of the event. South Play's list of vendors was perfect - everyone we chose from there was professional, accessible, and worked seamlessly with Lili and the team. I truly felt I came into that morning with no stress and I spent the rest of the event enjoying myself and our guests. We highly recommend South Play for all future children's events - it was a blast!

We had another wonderful experience at Scooter's Jungle for my son's birthday!…read more This year, we decided explore the Ultimate Arena which is perfect for older kids, while still having bouncy obstacle courses and basketball spaces for the little ones. Although, many of the younger siblings seem to have infinite energy and no fear running up and sliding down the inflatable slide over and over again. We had 24 or so kids playing together, and had plenty of space inside the Ultimate Arena for their parents/families as well. The celebration room was also spacious even with all those people in there. Justin and a young woman (long dark hair and glasses) whose name escapes me right now (sorry!) ensured that we had what we needed during play time, the room was decorated and set-up ready, and the pacing of with food food (pizza, fries, chicken strips) went smoothly. We then sang "Happy Birthday" and Justin handled cake slicing, and then clean-up. They were really great about giving a play-by-play and checked in before moving onto the next thing. My son said he had the best time, and we had many parents also say their children felt the same way. Scooter's Jungle provides an awesome space for a fun, clean, and private birthday party, and takes care of all the logistics so parents can enjoy the day with their friends and families. Thanks Scooter's Jungle for another successful birthday party!

It was great that they were able to blow up a few balloons that we brought (for an added fee) that were specific to the theme. We only bought pizzas from Scooters Jungle and brought other food ourselves, but everyone enjoyed the pizza. They did a great job serving the dessert and helping us pack up our things at the end.
