Though I'd lean more towards giving this place a 3.5-star rating, my family and I did enjoy our time and would likely revisit. There are, however, two major reasons why I'm settling on a 3-star rating.
1) Sanitation Issues: Arriving as the first group of the day at 10:30 AM, we entered the main bounce house area, excited to start the fun. My son eagerly wanted to climb the stairs to the slide, but I had to caution him due to visible wet areas. The seams bubbled with liquid, soaking our socks and wetting my son's clothes when he fell into these puddles. I was informed by another visitor (not a staff member) that this was the aftermath of their sanitizing spray. While I appreciate their dedication to cleanliness, there must be a better way that doesn't result in guests navigating through a damp mess.
2) Pricing: I was initially enticed by a Facebook ad offering $9 admission, but the actual cost is $17 per person, regardless of age. While I'd willingly pay $10-12 per visit, $17 feels steep, especially when it adds up for a family. My wife suggested that if they insist on a $17 charge, they should extend the visitation period from 1.5 hours to 2 hours. In my opinion, a $10-12 admission fee would be fair for an hour, particularly if the time is utilized wisely without extensive eating and drinking breaks.
Recommendations:
- Bring or buy socks with a grippy bottom. They'll enhance your experience and prevent unnecessary slips and falls.
- Keep a close eye on your kids. Surprisingly, adults tend to be the biggest risk factor - they tend to unbalance your child or cause them to bump into others.
- Pack your own drinks and snacks. The allure of the $7 snocones can be hard to resist, but that's a hefty price tag for flavored ice!
In summary, we had a good time, but there is definitely room for improvement, especially concerning sanitation procedures and pricing structure. read more
