    My son had his first birthday here and the staff made it so easy for me. We absolutely love this location. Also the owner Akash is really great and we love that he supports the community. This is my favorite place to keep both my toddler and my 8 year old entertained. It's affordable and they even take Apple Pay ( I learned that after dropping my wallet before a playdate ). A big thank you to Akash at Funtastic Playtorium for helping provide uniforms and equipment to The Norpoint Soccer Club for TWO YEARS! We appreciate all your support and feel so grateful that Funtastic Playtorim is so invested in enriching the lives of the Tacoma community children.

    Best time ever so much here for the young ones go try it. I think my daughter really enjoyed it. One of the fastest slides around that yellow one. The rainbow one parents can't go down unless tiny..

    We love, love, love Funtastic Playtorium! This place has brought much sanity to busy weekdays for us. With the Military Discount, it's just under $12 to get unlimited play time and there is plenty of seating for the mom/dad/caretaker to sit and either work or relax. They slap you with a wristband that has a correlating number so no one else can try to leave with your kids, also, which gives peace of mind. (Yes, they're great about checking the numbers before you leave) After being featured on Blippi, I'm shocked this place isn't busy ALL the time. I know they often have a wait time on the weekends or when the weather is really bad, but it's our go-to spot for play dates or when my kids are stir-crazy and just need to run it off! There's a soda machine across the way and a Starbucks down the corridor so you can get your caffeine fix however you please while your kids run off their excess giggles!! Grab lunch on the way out at the food court or bring some snacks - either way your kids will be tired and happy!! See you there!

    Well I sure do love spending an extra 10 bucks for both parents to sit on their butts and watch their kid play.

    I've had Charlie Safari on my radar for a while and we finally took the kids here on Valentine's…read moreDay for a little family date. First impression and immediate note in my head is that this place is freakin' spendy. For the three of my kids, plus grippy socks (didn't realize that was a requirement) it was $93. Most play places are definitely not that steep. That aside, we had a great time here. My kids loved it! There's so much to do. There's an arcade, a climbing wall, multiple bounce houses, and a giant play structure with fun slides. Plus a smaller play structure for toddlers! We were here for almost two hours and they were so tired when we left (the whole point!) Also, LOVE that they have the Watering Hole here for adults! We treated ourselves to a couple of drinks while the kids had a blast. You're able to walk around with the drinks too which is awesome. The selection is kind of limited and the wine wasn't my favorite (switched to a local IPA after that) but it is a fun added bonus for the parents. We also got a cheese pizza while here and that was a little expensive too ($25) but it was actually pretty huge and it actually was pretty tasty. Kids were definitely happy with it. We plan on booking this spot for our son's 3rd birthday party in May and honestly the prices aren't too bad for how many kids they allow and everything they supply. Definitely adding this spot into our rainy day rotation!

    Dang, what happened since we last were here! This place was a mess, and blaring music that was not…read moreappropriate for children. It also felt like the staff was nowhere to be found, but did seem to be trying their best!

    My husband and I went today and had an awesome experience. We had two personal encounters, one with…read morean otter named Pearl and one with a capy named Thor. Pearl was so adorable and cuddly, I enjoyed my experience with her a lot and she was just as sad as I was to have to leave her. Thor was awesome too, very food motivated and he loves his chin scratches. I will definitely try to come back in the future (I have a busy schedule). I am also definitely recommending checking the place out. They take well care of all the animals, giving them adequate breaks and vacation, rotating animals out in order to give them all breaks. Overall an awesome experience and I'd recommend going.

    Overall, a great experience. We got to spend time with the Capybaras and man was it cool. They are…read moreso chill and very friendly. They are also curious and look to sit in thought quite often. The staff was really kind and were present every step of the way. Some people complain about the smell, but seriously, it's a petting zoo... also I know the animals are not "free roaming", but they did not seem unhappy and look to be cared for well. If you would like a cool experience with capybaras, this is a good option. Also, they have a goat named Beast and he is an interesting creature lol. Overall, my family and I had a great time. I am sure experience will vary from person to person, but overall, it looked like everyone had a good time. If they could improve on anything, the reptile zone needs work, but it looked like it was going through some remodeling, so not being too critical on that.

    Great, local, no-frills bouldering gym in Tacoma. My husband and I moved from the Bay Area to…read moreSeattle and have been checking out the local bouldering scene in the PNW - Climb Tacoma has been one of our favorite gyms to check out on a day pass since it's near my parents. FACILITIES For bouldering? Wide variety of routes for different levels and technical focus. For example, a lot of bouldering gyms we've been to have their routes go vertical to fit more climbing onto a set of panels. I like that Climb Tacoma has options where a route might go across, so I get to practice different climbing techniques. Some routes exercise grip strength, others may be more core or balance focused. It makes the experience more fun and rewarding when you complete the beta. I've only been climbing actively for a little over 7 months and can climb up to V2 routes; my husband can climb up to V5/V6. Climb Tacoma has been great because we're both able to keep busy with how many routes there are. There's even a small area for kids to practice climbing and a fun spray wall to test different holds. My only complaint with their bouldering is that their labeling system can be very confusing - you need to look at the tape color to indicate difficulty... not the color of the hold. For exercising? It's lacking - a very small fitness / workout area with little equipment compared to other climbing gyms in the area. I would say comparable to small fitness centers you get in hotels. That said... I don't come here for that, I come to boulder. LOCATION + PARKING Location is off S 38th ST so really close to Tacoma Mall or the Vietnamese area of S 38th ST... making it pretty convenient for finding food after a climbing session. In terms of crowds, it's never been a problem coming here on the weekends, the day before a holiday, or in the middle of a weekday (ex/ for their Monday special for "Femmes and Themes". Their parking seems a bit small but it's never been an issue for us as we're always able to find a spot. OVERALL Coming from the Bay Area, I appreciate how chill this climbing gym. It doesn't play loud music, people are respectful when it comes to climbing and there aren't "influencer" or gym bro vibea you get from Silicon Valley / SF gyms. If you are looking for a high end gym with the works like towel service, saunas, yoga classes, etc... then I would suggest looking elsewhere. If you're just looking to boulder in the area, this gym is great for that with extremely fair pricing. Other climbing gyms, pricing is understandably higher because there may rope courses with higher overhead. I like that what I pay here is for bouldering... and there are lots of options to choose from. Make sure to check their site for specials like Half Price First Fridays or the $15 "Femmes and Thems" discount (rentals included)!

    first time climbing in 2 years and I am at beginner-intermediate level, so up to you if you care to…read moregive power to this review while you decide on getting a membership or day pass. welcoming community, yes, but this gym had no music playing, not much gym equipment to work with (e.g. weightlifting platform), and the staff did not roam around for safety checks. I am used to the service from a climbing gym back in California, and there, they offer really good hospitality throughout your visit there...not just when you enter the doors to sign in. I will say that the front desk staff was indeed considerate when dealing with the finances so that people who qualify for the discount (i.e. healthcare worker, first responder, student, etc.) were covered. cute ping pong table to rest from the climbing and very clean bathroom. would be nice to have paper towels to really wipe off the chalk, though. wishing health and wellness for those who choose to climb! lots of kids here, too, so this is a cool family bonding activity for y'all to do, if you are into that

    Don't go here. Sure…read morethe space is great, the center is clean, the parking is wonderful. And that is it. The staff here for private events are the worst. Firstly, front desk flat out told me no, we couldn't set up the chairs and tables early even though the room wasn't in use and it would cost us extra. Okay, you can't set up early, no problemWhen father came, they told him "well maybe, it may cost extra, we will have to see." Interesting how the answer change for a woman versus a man? Flat no for me and oh we will see for him? Service for the room. The family had reserved the south room with the stage and projector. They had it part of their package as they were going to project a video and wanted the stage for the live band... tell me why they told my friends family "we will have to charge you extra" to get the projector fixed that my friends family paid for?? Why are you telling us you are going to charge us for something you are supposed to provide? Make it make sense? Because we lost that space on the stage the band had to perform on the floor taking space from our dance floor... they refused to compromise/accommodate us for the lack of the thing my friends paid for. We had no dance floor, we had barely any space which we would have had if we actually had the stage. No one really danced, it killed the vibes of what was supposed to be a beautiful coming of age celebration. Honestly, the space may be gorgeous but the service is so atrocious that you shouldn't come here.

    Beautiful venue, but the experience was extremely disappointing…read more I hosted my daughter's quinceañera here, and unfortunately the staff made the event far more stressful than it needed to be. They were rude, unaccommodating, and repeatedly interrupted us throughout the night to remind us about wrapping up even though there was no event scheduled after ours. It felt like they were rushing us out the entire time. Initially, we booked the venue when talking to the coordinator that we would be allowed to have our service dog there. The staff was questioning why our service dog was at the party and we have had that conversation already & the coordinator said it would be okay. On top of that, the projector screen was positioned in a way that blocked the stage, and we were told we'd have to pay extra to use the stage even though the issue was due to their equipment being broken before our event. It was unreasonable and frustrating. Overall, the constant interruptions and lack of professionalism from the staff overshadowed what should have been a special celebration. The venue may be beautiful, but the service completely ruined the experience.
