The team was attentive to the various age ranges of children, patient with all of our questions, and clearly prioritized the well-being of both the children and the animals. The cleanup was handled efficiently, as if it never happened. Overall, I highly recommend this company for this service. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality made the party fun and memorable!

We went as a small group of kids to try out a class on a Sat afternoon. Kids were exhausted after! They loved the fact that they got to learn from Tim Schnee who has competed on American Ninja Warrior 5 times. My son was really wanting to do the ramp like his friend and Tim was right there giving him pointers and cheering him on. The next run my son nailed it and was super proud. I love the enthusiasm the staff had for the activities. In the past, places that had activities even like this seemed to be run by high school kids who weren't really even interacting with kids. This was a legit professionally run ninja place. They set up a course that was challenging yet had all levels incorporated. There were short cuts built in to it. At the end they even had a green button/buzzer the kids could use to signal they completed the course. There's a bathroom and water fountain right there next to the course. No need to go outside at all into the 24 hour fitness area for anything. Lots of bench seating available for parents. If we weren't so stuck with sports on the weeknights and weekends already we'd sign up for the 6 week class. For now, I think it will be our new bday party spot or coming back for a drop in time. Thanks Tim for getting the kids pumped up today and making em all feel like real ninja warriors! Will def be back.

The play area is huge with so much for kids to do! There's a ball pit, ride ons, climbing structures and slides, giant building blocks, and tons of toys for pretend games. When we booked the party we were offered a bunch of different optional add-ons for additional charges including options for food, drinks, cupcakes, a meet and greet with a mascot character, etc. We chose to add an additional hour of time, the decorations package, and the balloon cannon. For decorations they have tons of themes to choose from and we chose Bluey. The decorations were so cute and there were pretty table clothes, themed plates and napkins, and lots of table decorations. The balloon cannon was fantastic! We played keepy-uppy like in the show Bluey, but the addition of the cannon just made the game so much more amazing! Our son and his friends had an incredible time and the adults all really appreciated that inside the play area are lots of comfy chairs and couches to lounge on while the kids play. Throughout the party the staff were so lovely and helpful! They checked in frequently to see if we needed anything and at the end even did all the tidying. We cannot recommend them enough, it was a perfect birthday party.

The studio was prepped very well for the celebration and everything was up to the mark and our satisfaction.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking to celebrate their kids birthday.

I honestly can't recommend this place enough. I was completely blown away…read more From the moment we walked in, the level of professionalism and cleanliness stood out, especially for a kids' arcade and activity center. Everything felt well run and thoughtfully managed. One thing that really impressed me as a parent was the staff member monitoring the entrance and exit. He was incredibly attentive. He recognized us, noticed our child, and was clearly keeping track of who was coming and going. Of course, you should always watch your own kids, but having someone that alert adds a huge layer of peace of mind. We used a Groupon, and if you have ever used one, you know it can sometimes be a hassle, but not here. The process was seamless. A staff member radioed ahead for us, and by the time we got to the snack counter, they already knew what to do. No waiting, no confusion. We were set up immediately and on our way. That level of coordination was impressive. Every game we tried was working perfectly, including VR games, which is rare in most arcades. Even smaller details, like all the basketballs being available at the Papa Shot machines, did not go unnoticed. The kids' drop ride was a huge hit with my daughter, and the claw machines, which guarantee a prize, were a fun bonus, especially as a way to end the visit on a high note. The prize center was also well balanced, with reasonable ticket costs and fun options. They had some great games too, like rhythm games and classics, that made it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The real surprise was the food. We ordered pizza expecting typical arcade food, but it exceeded expectations by a mile. It was soft, fresh, and genuinely delicious, easily better than what you would find at places like Chuck E. Cheese. The entire dining area was spotless, which is almost unheard of in venues like this. Tables were clean. Floors were clean. Everything felt cared for. The service continued to impress throughout. Our food came out quickly, and when we finished, the staff handled all the cleanup. We actually went out of our way to find cash just to leave a tip because the service deserved it. We originally came for the full experience, including batting cages, laser tag, go karts, and mini golf, but honestly, even before doing any of that, I can confidently say this place is incredibly well run. Based on everything we experienced, I have no doubt the rest will be just as great. If you are a parent looking for a fun, safe, and well managed place for your kids that you will actually enjoy too, this is it.

There is a dining option available on site and the food/concessions is good for what it is. The age range of kids we saw is all over the place which is good if you have a mixed age group but also, if you're looking for something for a specific age group, you may be out of luck. This place gives Dave and Buster vibes but has both and indoor and outdoor component. You can earn tickets to redeem for items and I was quite surprised about how big of a venue was here. It was rainy and we stay indoors so I can't really comment on the outdoor components. Overall, I'd come back but it's not my "go-to" for indoor gaming/food activity.

I LOVE ZUNI TALES!!! If you are looking for an event…read moreplanner, then stop your search and just book Zuni Tales for your upcoming events. They are extremely professional and well organized, my husband and I attended a birthday party this month and we were amazed to see, the detailed work they have done in their decoration. We really love the photobooth and seating area, which was so impeccable and really cute, also, they focused on each little thing, like the separate fun area and games for the children. The food was so delicious and presented perfectly, they kept something for every age to keep them engaged yet maintained the privacy for each and every different group, this was the best birthday event I have ever attended. I highly recommend them!!

They also MCed games for us at the shower and all our guests had a lot of fun with their engaging game ideas. Super creative folks, I highly recommend them. I'd definitely hire them for more events!
