What a shame Norfolk did not do more to keep this place viable.It could have been saved with lower rents,and incentives,but as usual we build,and tear down viable structures. Wish the whole play area could be transported somewhere else.

Eh, I guess it's good for the little ones to run a little to burn off some energy. Not too much to…read moreit though. Not to mention the fact the mall itself was so hot.

This was one of the most uncomfortable and unprofessional experiences I've ever had at a family…read morevenue. The facility was filthy and clearly neglected: * No soap in the dispensers * Toilet paper scattered all over the bathroom floors * A completely broken changing table that made it impossible to safely change a baby For a place marketed toward families and children, this is unacceptable. What made the situation far worse was the behavior of the Operations Director, Logan Lortz. When I brought up concerns about the condition of the bathroom, he openly told me he "didn't care." During our entire visit, he instead followed me and my children around the facility for well over an hour, obsessively watching and policing every little thing my kids did to the point that it became deeply uncomfortable and concerning. Instead of addressing legitimate sanitation and safety concerns, management chose intimidation and harassment. We ended up leaving early and canceling our membership because the environment felt hostile, unprofessional, and completely not family-friendly. Parents should seriously reconsider before bringing their children here.

I loved seeing all the children play, bounce, and flip around. They were so happy…read more We registered and paid for admission and cool socks that celebrate St Judes Children's Hospital. Fun with a purpose. The checking was very easy and the staff is very gracious, kind, and efficient. I did learn that I needed to bring my water bottles from home instead of paying $3.50 for a drink from the event's snack zone. Parking is free, great and there is a lot of it available. Everyone is friendly. I will play with the children next time we come. It looks like fun to me.

Absolutely Awesome! Highly recommend. This has to be one of the best children's museums we've…read morevisited (and we've visited a lot). First, be sure to reserve tickets online. You must choose a time to arrive, but then you can stay all day. The prices are very reasonable and they offer several discounts. There is some street parking in front and a large parking lot behind the museum. Parking is $1.25/hour during the week and free on the weekends. Check-in was quick and easy. The staff member assisting us was very friendly. they don't allow any outside food but water bottles with lids are fine. Strollers and wagons are also allowed. The museum offers tons of different rooms/spaces without feeling too big or overwhelming. There's a map on each floor to help guide you through the spaces. Each space is super interactive and educational. We absolutely loved the train room and the bubble room. Even Grandma had a blast on this visit. Other notes: - There is plenty of seating throughout the museum. - The bathrooms were clean and clearly marked. - There were helpful staff members scattered around the museum areas. - The planetarium show starts on the hour, every hour. My kids were too exhausted but other parents said it was nice.

Also their miniature train exhibit is massive and very extensive. We could've spent all day there but we had to get back on the road to go home.

It's a cute hidden gem in a plaza. I came across this place…read morewhile walking around the plaza. Although the owner was closing up after a birthday party, he still took the time to show me around and talk to me about his establishment. He takes so much pride in this place, as it is kept up beautifully. I finally got around to bringing my kids here to play, and they had so much fun. They switch the layout around often so the kids can find new ways to play and have fun. There is an area for parents to sit down while you let your kids get their energies out. They also close late in the summer, which is fantastic.

A community center is supposed to be a place where you can hold club meetings, throw a birthday…read moreparty, enjoy the pool, and, yes, take a class and work out in the gym. This place is just a gym with too many rules. Here's what I've been asked to stop doing or even leave for: Swimming too slowly in the pool lanes Not playing tennis in the tennis court (my child and I were the only ones there, and we were playing) Bringing a child younger than 9 or 14 onto the track Playing basketball with a basketball brought from home. All the others are ALWAYS taken. They confiscated my ball. Going the wrong way in the pool. The lifeguard didn't realize that going against the current is a form of exercise. Walking the track instead of running Stopping next to the track Sitting on the exercise equipment. It had a chair that I chose to sit on for two minutes. No one was around. Today, two fellow members kicked me out because I had flip-flops on. They were right about it being against the rules, but it just reminded me of the pervasive culture of entitlement and snobbery that exists at this location. For context, I have memory issues, which is why I had flip-flops on at the gym.

Love this recreation center. One of the reasons to feel good about being a VA Beach resident is…read morethat you get an annual membership for $120 and you get access to all the amenities (pool, gym, track, locker room, etc) and classes (tai chi, Zumba, yoga, etc ). Not only at this location but also other recreation centers as well! Parking is ample. You get full view of the pool to the left of the entrance and then the welcome/reception desk and even a peek at the indoor court. The membership signup was a breeze, the staff was helpful. Flyers of class schedule, pool and gym schedule and other locations are all available by the bulletin stand where you take schedule printouts. I cannot wait to start my early morning classes!
