Just had my 2 year-old daughter's birthday party here. We had been deciding between using our…read morecondo building's lounge space and an indoor playground. Play was definitely a better choice for us for a number of reasons: 1. Accommodates more people - we had 16 toddlers and at least 20 adults, yet there was enough space for everyone to get comfortable. 2. Theme, Decor, Party favors - Play staff decorated the room, provided party favors (depends on the package you get), ice, plates, utensils, cups, etc. - The devil is in the details, and I was having mini anxiety attacks trying to think of a clever theme and even-more-clever party favors to go with it. I wish I had the time to create original, imaginative favors and decorations--but I don't. They took this burden from me and did a great job. 3. Entertainment - two staffers provided entertainment, playing age-appropriate music and led some song and dance activities. I didn't have to put together a playlist, which saved me hours. My daughter and her little guests were laughing, dancing, and generally have a wonderful time. 4. Prep and cleaning - Play takes care of this for you. They even helped us consolidate my daughter's gifts into bags and wrapped up the leftover food we had brought. 5. Refreshments - (depends on package) they provided cupcakes and juice for the kids. The staff cut the cake I brought and distributed it to the guests. What was I responsible for? I brought non-dessert food for the kids and adults, a cake, soda, and water. And my kid. That's it! It was awesome. There are a number of indoor play spaces to choose from in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and LIC. I think Play is most appropriate for children ages 1-3.5 (although one of our 7 year old guests still had a lot of fun), which is great. Toddlers won't get trampled by older kids like I've experienced at other play spaces with huge, complicated gym structures. Play has a simple climbing gym and slides, as well as a "household" area with play food, kitchen, dining table, and laundry. They have tents and tunnels, as well as ride-on toys. For new walkers, there's even a "sheltered" area by the window that's a bit separated from the rest of the space where a caregiver and a child can practice walking (and falling) safely. Ownership changed here in the last year, and the new owners are incredibly dedicated to making sure every child and parent is happy. I traded at least a dozen emails with them in the weeks before the party. When we initially came in to check out the space, they really took the time to give us a tour, answer all of our questions ---and most importantly---anticipate our needs. I've been a mom for just two short years and have no idea what a birthday party entails. They do, and they were a huge help when I didn't even know what to ask for. Lastly, I'm a germ phobe, and I saw the staff constantly mopping the floor by the entrance to prevent snow from being trekked in. When the crowd started dying down around nap time (around 1:00), I saw a staffer collecting the play food, presumably to wash. I liked that. There are hand sanitizer dispensers on the walls. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked, including the changing station, which had extra wipes and other things that a parent could easily forget.

I was truly looking forward to spending time here ... as soon as we stepped in, I felt…read moredisappointment come over me just by seeing the size of the space.. first impression was I assumed it was larger. I tried to push through but was then checkin in by the horrible staff member who didnt end smile. Didnt even tell me the total when paying for my two children = $23 + $18 = $41 nor have a receipt. I was told it would be emailed, but never got that either. The cost came with an open room with worn down items, broken toys, no coffee station (even though there is a sign), and not even a stocked bathroom. Toys were bent, old, overly used and wearing off. Even the bins from IKEA were falling apart.. IKEA items should be easily replaced as they are cheap. The facilities was worn down as well, paint chipped or peels off on seating area and slides. Mural is still nice. The "cafe" area seating was pushed to the wall, not allowing a place to sit while the worker was putting streamers on a board for the private room. There is no water fountain to refill your water bottle. Again, advertised coffee and tea.. when asked was told "nothing, you can go to starbucks" as I pointed to the sign the worker said "OH"! I had to give the front desk girl broken items and she left in the lobby area!! I can see her just putting them back in after we leave in order not to deal with it. As a representative of the space, she was horribly spaced out with a negative demeanor as if she hates her job. Private room for classes and parties is cute... I believe this is where their energy goes to. I can see it good for a 1 year bday party. Ages 2 and over for open play with bore out fast. I reflect constently on how truly disappointing it was!!

The entire planning process was smooth from start to finish. Twinkle's team was so accommodating and patient with my requests and questions. On party day, Alexa, Johan, and Valeria (please pardon any spelling errors with their names) were soooo amazing. They set everything up beautifully and made me feel like I could just relax and enjoy the party. They went above and beyond to make my son's birthday very special, allowing me to send them my customized music playlist, and bring in my own customized cake toppers and other decor, which they set up! They really think of everything and even emcee the event so you don't have to corral your own guests for pizza and cake. Our whole party had a blast playing in the space. We would definitely throw another party here! In the meantime, I'm planning to get a membership! I recommend it to all families with little ones under 6 in the area.

When you enter there's a spot to place your shoes which is like a shoe display area which is a bit different and kind of cool.

They have a lot are rideable cars for the kids. The set up is pretty cool too it's like a large tree house. There's also a water area, a make believe grocery store and the 18 month and younger play area. Something for all the kids up to age 6. The back right is the area where they serve food which is equiped with a soda machine. My friend told me all the food was cateredby twinkle. Pizza and pasta was good. Wings were ok. Fruit platter was good especially for the kids and the fries were soggy but my 1 year old didn't mind. The cake was chocolate and vanilla. I had the chocolate which was really moist and not too sweet. Party experience here was really great and it was from 5 to 8 so it was nice we had the entire area to ourselves.

The gym is low-key and welcoming. Shout out especially to Ashley, at the front desk, who is friendly and kind and who helps me check in quickly when I arrive late in the day (which is often, due to my work schedule). An affordable, solid gym and a great community resource, with programs for people of all ages.

Winter in NYC with a kid is no joke. Before becoming a parent, my main goal on freezing weekends…read morewas staying cozy. Now? It's finding places where my child can actually burn energy when outdoor playgrounds are basically off-limits. Enter Space Club, the solution to this problem. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place was thoughtfully designed with both kids and parents in mind--exactly as they describe on their website. Getting tickets at the door was easy, with no wait: you just provide the phone number associated with your account, and that's it! I really appreciated that tickets aren't strictly timed: you can drop in anytime that day, which takes a lot of pressure off planning. The socks-only policy and large shoe-off area also immediately set the tone for cleanliness (and yes, my white socks stayed white). There are tons of well-padded play areas, obstacle courses, sensory rooms, and quiet corners[1]. Also, unique to this location, a bounce house. Unlike many indoor play gyms, this place is actually enjoyable for adults too. The café offers smoothies, coffee, and snacks[2], and you can bring your own food/drinks. Parking right outside is a rare bonus for Greenpoint. One small downside: despite clear signs saying no food or drinks in the play areas, I saw several parents bringing large coffee drinks (even into the bouncy castle). Not Space Club's fault (in fact, I saw staff members going to some of these parents to ask them to bring their drinks outside the pay areas), but I do wish this rule were enforced more consistently. The temperature runs a bit cooler than at their Fort Greene location, perhaps due to the fact that this is one single, large, floor. While it wasn't uncomfortable at first, I did start to feel chilly after being there for about three hours. Overall, it's clean, well-run, and totally worth it. We'll definitely be back. ------------------------------- [1] Especially great for kids who need a calmer, sensory-friendly environment. [2] Note the no-nuts policy.
