The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, constantly sanitizing and helping keep the energy fun without any chaos. As military parents in the Mililani area, it's a perfect rainy-day or after-school escape that gives the kids hours of active play while we relax with a coffee nearby. We've hosted a birthday party here too, and the party rooms made it stress-free and memorable.

We always pass by My Slime Playroom whenever we go to Ka'Makana and were always curious about…read morewhat's going on inside. So, I checked it out with my daughter today and we had a great time. There wasn't a wait for us when we went. The worker was an Aunty who was so friendly and helpful. She showed us the different slime options we could choose. She also constantly sanitized the tables and went around to check in and help if needed. The place was very organized and clean. The overall process is that you select the slime you want, choose your charms, and then make your slime by following the instruction on the table. You can choose your own color and scent to follow. It is a bit pricy, but I didn't mind it as we really did have a great experience. My daughter really enjoyed herself here, and that's always a win in my book.

Small & not well known park on Kulihi St. in lower Makakilo. Hours: 6am - 10pm (I never came at…read morenight). Pros: peaceful, not well known or used, usually pretty empty, has b-ball court and large maintained grass area Cons: hot, no shade, playground is suited for 5 - 12 yr old (says the sign), not very toddler friendly, dingy bathrooms Some ppl come and just sit in their cars (maybe eat, meet up, or ?). I bring my kids occasionally since I work in Makakilo. Nobody bothers. Sometimes there are homeless, but it currently looks cleaned up! The park maintenance does pretty good maintaining this park. C&C could upgrade the bathrooms tho! 2 stalls in women's side, not good lighting, but water fountain works! Always bring your own TP in case...it is C&C parks afterall.

I've brought my 4yr old to come play here even though it is a playground meant for older children,…read morehe still has a lot of fun playing here. The two times that i've brought him here to play, there were no kids and we stayed pretty long, still no kids came. However there's a bunch of randoms that do park here for lunch break or to come chill in their cars or a bathroom break. Both times i came here, there were tow trucks that scout the parking lot making sure cars are using the appropriate parking stalls etc. i do like that The playground is fenced off due to the fact that it is right by the freeway.. by the way the freeway noise does not bother. I jus really like this spot because there isn't any kids whenever we go, perhaps not really favorable or well known spot.

My kids love this place. Bigger than the town location. Downstairs has a little shop and snack area…read morethat sells drinks and musubis. Ball pits, slides, amusement park style rides as well as the majority of the party room areas. Upstairs is a "Mario style" timed obstacle course as well as trampolines and foam pits where you can battle American Gladiator style. Theres one party room up here as well. My kids never wanna leave.

Cleanliness is a major issue at this facility. It doesn't seem like the space is being properly…read moresanitized after hours. While I can't place all the blame on the staff, I do think everyone who uses the facility should do their part by cleaning up after themselves. It's common to see socks and other trash left behind. The bathroom is especially concerning--you can smell the odor as soon as you reach the entrance, and the stalls are often left dirty and in poor condition. Improving both sanitation and encouraging members to clean up after themselves would make a significant difference.

I went to Keiki Republic in Kahala with my daughter, SIL, and granddaughter to check things out…read more It's a large open space with tons of activities, toys, mazes, and things to keep the little one occupied and expending energy. You can pay by the hour for each session, or get a monthly pass that allows unlimited time each month. They do ask everyone to sign an electronic waiver, so bring your smartphone to make things easier. You also need to wear socks in the play area, to prevent damage to the padded surfaces. I would recommend getting some grippy socks, because some of the play surfaces are fairly slick when wearing regular socks, and it's like walking on ice. Everything is pretty safe for all ages of children, as parents and caregivers are all watching over their own flock. They do have a staff person that also monitors the area and cleans and wipes down surfaces periodically. The main thing to watch out for (as with most toddler play areas) is when older kids are playing in the same area as smaller ones. It's a pretty big space overall, so it really wasn't an issue while we were there, but it's still something to keep in mind. There is a lot to do and my granddaughter definitely had her favorites, such as the merry-go-round, the climbing area, and (for some reason) the zip line ride. She avoided the ball pit for some reason, but maybe she'll grow into it as she gets older. We spent a couple of hours there and it definitely wore her out, and all of us as well. It's a great place to spend for any family with little ones, and I know we'll be back.

My plea to the owners: Can you just give a little bit of effort? You had a good thing going, but…read morethis place looks sad. Never seen a place get more dilapidated after renovations! How can that be? The original design made sense. It was a bit quaint, but at least there was better flow. It looks like maintenance has declined considerably. Feels like this place is on its last legs. The rubber floors are warped all over the place. Exposed screws, exposed electrical outlets, burnt out light bulbs. Their interactive video game screen doesn't work. They did upgrade the slide with lights and have a trampoline section. But otherwise, this place needs some TLC. They were better off with the old equipment than the cheap new stuff they put in. And the redesign makes no sense. There are areas that look like your kids are playing in a dark alley. Why?

But, the end of the slide is quite a way off the ground so it was a little difficult for the 3.5 yr old to hop off of. We had to carry the 2 yr old off. There are prickly weeds that grow around the back and sides. Since it's a sand playground, you can't see the loose prickly pieces and both my daughter and I got poked. It did look like a lot of fun for the other older kids and we'll probably try when my kids are a bit older so hopefully they'll do some landscaping on the weeds by then. We also saw a few kids spitting water in the sand and making spit-water sand balls. Gross.

My daughter and her friends wanted to meet up at this park. There's a basketball court which I sat…read moredown under a little shade. Not much shade unless you find trees. There's shade to park under the trees in the parking lot but I wouldn't want to hang out here alone. Just doesn't feel safe here. I would rather go where it's quiet and you don't get the hustle and bustle here. I had to use the restroom and it was kind of disgusting but if you gotta go, you gotta go. There were no soap dispensers so you only washing your hands with water. I thought it was strange that there were no mirrors either. I only come here to park under shade and wouldn't go down to just hang out. Just an okay park. It's pretty big. There's even a skate park behind the basketball courts.

I really used to love bringing my toddlers here. They are now 4 & 2, but I stopped bringing them…read moreabout a year ago. I know that lots of places that kids frequent are prone to lots of germs and what not; and kids are notorious for getting sick. But I stopped bringing them here because everytime we did, they would get sick. But now just with a common cold or minor sick. They get really sick. My son once picked up some bacterial infection that carried in poop from an infected person that frequents medical facilities! Gross! It was not fun! And this is not an exaggeration, they were literally getting ill evwrytime we brought them to this park. I didn't realize it then, but check out other playgrounds, you'll notice that this one is pretty nasty compared to a lot of others. The trash cans are almost always full, the weeds get pretty horrendous, it's always loaded with flies, and you can always find piles of dog poop that people don't pick up in the grass. On another note, there are always tons of bigger kids frequenting this playground with no adult supervision, sitting around the jungle gym, making it harder for little ones to play. Anyway, after playground hopping with my two Littles, we've found so many more playgrounds that are better taken care of, cleaner, and friendlier. Never mind that this one happens to be most convenient for us, convenience is no longer a priority in our playground situation.
