Unfortunately, parking is super sparse. They have about 6-8 spaces in their lot but none were available. They had a map of where parking was available (a lot of neighboring streets) so that was super helpful. Upon arriving, the barista was super friendly. The staff who checked us in were nice enough and $57 later, the kids were off. My 1 year old loved the small wooden structures in the baby area. There were plenty of toys and things to interest her and she got her exercise crawling around and walking assisted. My 3 and 5 year old favored the jungle gym, campers room, and lego room. They loved the numerous plush animals and faux fire pits. They built small fort rooms under the larger wooden play structures and kept themselves busy. Far as the cafe, I ordered a vanilla latte but it was too strong for my preference. The barista added more ice and milk for me, but it was still too much. I also ordered a large ube latte for someone and they loved it. We had packed bento boxes and it was nice being able to bring our own food (though signs say no outside business foods). Only downside was that certain areas were better air conditioned than others. The smaller children's area near the loose toys was steamy and I could see condensation on the signs on the window. Was sweating playing with my 1 year old there, but otherwise, other areas like the campers room were nicely ventilated. In total, we stayed about 3 hours and my kids still wanted to stay. We will be back!

Today, we went to a music class! It's a great place to have parties because all ages can find something to do here! There's so much variety in the different play areas (there's even a crawling area!). It always smells and feels clean when we go, which is something that I neeeed when I go to kid play areas! Extra bonus is: they have coffee! I always try a new one when I go but they're always so good! This time, I tried the coconut ube latte which was so good! My drink didn't look like my friends (hers had a brown layer in it) but it was still delicious. They have a small parking lot that holds maybe six or seven cars but there is a bunch of free parking all around (watch out for areas that need permit though!).

My son had the best birthday, and all of our family and friends told us how much fun they had. The facility was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire party.

The facility was super clean, with something for kids of all ages to enjoy, and the staff was amazing from start to finish. A special shoutout to Aya, Saraid, and Melanie--they truly went above and beyond!

My wife and I climb with the kids and everyone makes personal progress every time we go. We drive here every other week from Naperville. There are a lot of walls here, they are clean and spectacular! All of the employees here are great, too. The high ropes section is huge and the zipline part of it is very cool. There are always plenty of open walls to climb, even when they're busy so your kids won't have to wait in line unless they want to climb a particular wall and even then it'll only be a minute. We've eaten most of the food on the menu and everything we've gotten has way exceeded my expectations. A++ family fun

They even had ninja warrior style ramps up to some of the climbing structures which my kids could do safely with the harnesses. And in the back there is a zip line obstacle course, video games, laser, tag, and more. We did not have time to do everything because there was just so much to choose from! I definitely recommend the physically active options over the video games. It is a bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth it!

I've been eagerly awaiting Bunny Ears' opening since I stumbled upon them at AppleFest in Lincoln…read moreSquare last year. Before they opened, they were doing pop-up events at markets, fairs, and festivals, and they had an activity in the children's area at AppleFest last year. They opened in the last month or so and today I finally was able to visit! On Fridays, they have a session called Fluffle Babies (did you know that a group of bunnies is called a fluffed? I didn't!) for children up to age one and their caregiver(s). My baby is less than a month from turning one so I needed to get in here quickly! It was a fun morning. The owner was our host, and she had selected a topic for us to all share about so that we had a starting place for conversation. We introduced ourselves and our little ones, and shared our perspective on the morning's discussion topic. Then she introduced the art play for the day, which this morning was edible paints where we used rice cereal with food dye to color the cereal. Jinny explained that it's helpful to teach children not to eat paint, even though this is edible, because when they start playing with tempura paints, acrylics, and so on they will not be edible. My little one stirred the "paint" a little, ate some, smashed her hands in it, and crawled around. It was a fun morning for her! There are several different stations and tables for kids to partake in their activities. I'll be this is a fantastic place to have a kids party! When you enter you'll take your shoes off and there's a partial wall with a door to keep children from scampering off once they enter the art space. There's a tinker bar, several sinks, a play area with magnetic tiles, a place for playing with water... there are so many possibilities for children to have fun and be creative. I attended one of the toddler classes and it was good, but perhaps a little advanced for my daughter; it was ages 1-5, and there's a huge difference in one year olds (which is my daughter) to five year olds. Given that, the fact that I live in one of the outer neighborhoods now (instead of five minutes away), and that the class is on a weekday so I can't miss work each week I am not sure I'll be able to continue the class. But we may stop in on an open play day or something. I love the concept of this place and am look forward to visiting again and continuing to learn some fun ways to encourage artistic creativity in my little one! They are good about safety. Once the class starts, they lock the door (ask me how I know--luckily the babe was inside with grandma in the event I was locked out the entire time!). They have some great options for parents with slightly older children, as they have offered drop-in play for Maifest and they have it for Square Roots, too. I love that they offer this for parents to have just a little free time while their kids are having a blast on their own. Parking is street only or the lot across from Old Town School if it's not in use/blocked.

This place is wonderful and the staff are so friendly/helpful. I have a 2.5 & 5.5 year old and they absolutely LOVE coming here to play. Great for when the weather is bad, but they also consistently have fun events every week as well as camps. When we had my son's Birthday here last August, it was one of the most low-stress and cost-effective options we could've picked. The kids had a blast, pizza was great, and we were able to add on things like extra drinks/snacks for very minimal cost. All we had to do was bring decorations and cake! The staff were very attentive and helpful throughout the entire party. Overall, Uppie Yuppy has been a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and I'm so grateful to have this option for my kiddos!

I was a bit hesitant for the price of the venue but it was so worth it. First, it's private. Just for your kid(s) and their friends. It's a large room with a section that has tables and a kitchenette for the food and cake part and the rest is for the kiddos. There's a play kitchen, train set, a slide, all the things any toddler would love. Even my 11 year old enjoyed it because it reminded him of his younger years. I love that you get a "helper" with the part packages. Ours was Shannon and she was great. Helped decorate a bit. Cut the cake. All the things you need help with that you may not have time for and feel bad asking someone else to take charge of. Overall we had a great party. Couldn't ask for more.

We went on Good Friday, lots of kids were off of school. We got the first time slot! Highly recommend this! The place is self guided and you can always go back to feel some more! If you think about germs and are easily grossed out, there's plenty of hand sanitizer around, or bring your own! But everyone is basically reaching in to feel the same slime you are. There's a small area the kids can take their shoes off and play in. Some squishes and slime they can go into (it's hard and doesn't stick to clothes!). They also have the "get slimed" station. I believe it's $30 and from the looks of it, it's just blue water. Didn't seem worth it to me. But my kids loved watching! The best part is being able to make your own slime! You can pick the consistency, smell and color! And as an added bonus you can pick out 3 charms! There's no food or drinks allowed in and they have a complimentary coat/bag check! Take a picture of your bag in case you drop your ticket! In addition, I find it hilarious that people are complaining about the price. Of course the place raises the price during peak hours. Now do I think $56 for a ticket is steep, yes! But plan ahead and always purchase tickets ahead of time! We paid $135 for 3 and were there almost 3 hours! We only left because we had lunch reservations!

There's pizza, hot dogs, plenty of snacks, and extra games and machines for the kids to enjoy.

We came here to beat the heat because the heat index was 105 degrees! He had the entire play structure with slides to himself and loved exploring it. There is an awesome colorful net structure that I have never seen before. He enjoyed balancing on it. I like that they allow the parents to play with their kids, which can be helpful for the little ones. There was a smaller section for kids age 0-3. There were also lots of arcade games that you can play with a reloadable game card. Our favorite was the Nerf target shooting game and the rubber duck crane (there's a winner every time!) We scored 3 rubber duckies for our kiddo's collection. Outside food is not allowed, but there is a snack bar with drinks and food. There are also plenty of tables to sit at and there's a wall of massage chairs for the exhausted adults that need some pampering! We will definitely be back after school on another weekday. We probably spent a little over an hour here and had a lot of fun!

The dance area had mirrored walls and a 2 sided window for viewing & seats to relax as well. Complete with a "bouncer" stamping hands upon entry for little kids. I felt i was entering into a night club or bar! Light refreshments (fruit punch, Filipino 4 seasons drink, bottled water) & snacks served (chips, cheese balls). Desert of cake slices was served too. Even Roassti's pizza! Coffee was also served. Also, a pretend play of the neighborhood, dolls and toys, a section for rock climbing, and a section to watch a projected movie kept my daughter busy and entertained. Although there was a rubber mat for the rock climbing, I felt there should be a few helmets as an option for the extra protection. There's also a room with a tv and few sofa seats for parents to lounge for a bit. Children's book for kids to sit and read. This establishment is mostly Filipino owned and on a busy intersection. Meter and street parking available.

We were first inside the day we went, so everything was neat and clean. The only reason I docked a star is because online it says they only allow in kids who have registered ahead. We called all day and no answer! My friend wrote to them on IG and they said just show up. They open at 9:00am, I called when we got there at 9:30 (per instructions on the door) and the lady said she would be there at 9:45 so give her a couple of minutes. I imagine due to covid they're short staffed / don't have as many kiddos going in, so it didn't deter us much, but just something to note. We would still happily return! A great rainy morning activity!
