We had a birthday party for our grandson and the staff were excellent meeting all our needs. The thing that impressed me the most was how clean everything was! There were no "smells" and nothing was dirty. We appreciated that the older folks attending the party did not have to take their shoes off when walking out on the play floor. Not easy to do after a certain age for some. Thank you Exhiliration Station for a great birthday party and safe place for children.

My boys are 1&3 and this was the perfect place for all the kids to just run around, let loose and not worry about age limits, height limits or anything. They have toys and activities for any age. Even the adults were hopping on the zip line. The owners were so damn nice and wouldn't let us help with anything because they wanted it to be stress free and make sure the parents enjoyed their kids' birthday. Even when we insisted on helping clean up with food and stuff, they told us no. And we were so happy to find out this is a nonprofit place, helping the community. We will definitely be taking our kids back just to play during the day sometime. Thank you everything exhilaration station!!

We have been to Glittery Slime Parlour a couple of times and always leave satisfied…read more It was my daughter's birthday this past weekend and one of her requests was to make her own slime. We arrived around 11am and there weren't a lot of people, my daughter and niece picked out a slime texture, scent, color and add-ins. I think I ended up paying like $50 for 2 slimes. They offer different price points, but $20 or $25 is the cheapest. Once they were done building their slimes, we sat at a table so they could mix and play with them for a bit. I like that they have tables so you don't feel like you're being rushed out after your purchase. I don't believe there is a time limit which is nice too and they do offer reservations for larger groups and parties. Overall, if your kid is addicted to slime, this is a cool activity to check out! I'm sure we'll be back again!

They came home excited every day and had a lot to talk about. The hands on projects and STEAM activities were a big hit. I also really liked how involved and enthusiastic the instructors were. It felt like the kids were learning a lot without it feeling like school. We had a great experience and would absolutely sign them up again next summer.

Our 2nd grader loved this STEAM camp. He was there for the full week of the "Forces & Motion"…read moretheme. He built complex marble runs, raced match box cars down ramps with the other campers, and collaborated with the other kids on more complex building projects. It was an excellent hands-on learning experience. There was open playtime in between the collaborative labs, where he felt free to explore and have a great time with the wide variety of STEAM toys. Di and Keith have put a lot of thought into the high‑quality activities and lab lessons. Thank you for providing our child a fun-filled week of learning, exploration and self-discovery!

Folsom City Lions Park is one of the biggest children's parks in Folsom. Spanning the entire space…read morebetween East Natoma, Stafford Street, Folsom PD, and Lake Natoma, there is plenty to do here. The park includes the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary and Barnyard Experience, Folsom Valley Railway, Folsom Library, and Einstein Cafe. Amenities of the park include a very large covered picnic and barbecue area, an educational center, a baseball field, a butterfly garden, lion statues, a veteran's memorial, and more. Summer concerts in the park are played from the gazebo in front of the library. Folsom RodeoCross runs through the park, and shuts it down a few nights per year. Sometimes, there are food truck festivals in the park, although there haven't been many in the past few years, obviously. My favorite thing to see at this park are the peacocks, which roam about year round. I also really enjoy the ambiance of the RodeoCross, which lights up the forest behind the play area with string bulbs hung from the trees. The Johnny Cash Trail passes through the back of the park. To get to it, hike down the path between the accessible children's park and the restrooms. Alternatively, the trail can be accessed from the nearby Rodeo Park. There is, also, technically, a snack bar in the park, but I've never seen it open. Ever. And I've been coming to this park since I was in high school! This park has changed so much over the years. When my family first moved to Folsom, the old library (which was recently demolished) was a few blocks away. The park was sort of just an accessory to the zoo. It's main feature was a tall steel slide. Now, the multiple play areas, library, zoo, and bike trail are all within walking distance of each other. As time has gone on, this park has gotten better and better. My daughter and I have spent many hours here reading books at the library, riding the train, walking around the zoo, and playing on the playground together. Overall, this is a decent kid's park, with plenty of space to run around, and plenty to do. Update: Do NOT hike in the area between the playground and the Johnny Cash Trail, as it is now, apparently, off limits. Temporary fencing has recently popped up to seal off the area. The trail is still accessible via Rodeo Park.

Levy Park is one of many children's parks in Folsom that is extremely easy to access from the…read moreWillow Creek Bike Trail. An auxiliary path behind the park leads directly down to the trail. The park is shaped like an L, with the vertical part of the L being the basketball court, and the horizontal part being a small field and medium sized playground. The playground features multiple slides, tunnels, ladders, fireman's poles, and 4 swings (2 toddler & 2 regular). It's very similar to the main playground at City Park, but slightly better. Several picnic tables are set up under the shade of planted trees, and a large barbecue pit is available. Dogs are allowed on leashes. Posted park hours are from 7am until one hour after sunset. Video surveillance is in effect 24/7. Levi Park sits on a bluff above a valley that was historically used for gold dredging. Educational signs in the park show pictures of dredges, but it's still hard to imagine one sitting in that valley. From the back of the park, looking down, one can see railroad tracks which are still used on rare occasions. The Willow Creek Bike Trail actually runs right next to them. From down below, this bluff is one of my favorites for photographing wildflowers in spring. In addition to the multiple benches set up around the playground, several benches are set up just in front of the bluff, facing the view.

Concern About Staff Harassment…read more I attended a community event recently and had an uncomfortable experience with one of your staff photographers. Despite clearly blocking him and expressing that I did not want my photo taken, he continued taking pictures of me and singling me out to take my picture and record me. When I reported this to venue staff, the response was essentially that he was "just doing his job," which made me feel that my boundaries and safety were not being taken seriously. The staff did not address his behavior and requested a private meeting with me to question me. I'm sharing this so the venue is aware that attendees' comfort and consent must come first. Staff should be trained and reminded to respect boundaries and ensure everyone feels safe. I hope the venue will address this behavior and prevent similar incidents in the future.

Both the big dog (over 30lbs) and small dog areas have ample room to run and play. We now have 3 very nice dog parks ( Folsom / Cameron Park ) within a 10 mile radius of our home. What a great place for "Man's best friend" to run, play and meet new friends.

Love coming to this community park as it has beautiful play structures, tennis courts, soccer field…read moreand splash pads. Wish there were more trees to shade us when it's really hot but otherwise a fun park to bring family. There is a picnic area where you can host parties and BBQ. My only caution here: Beware of the random gentleman (slim, dark hair, tall, Caucasian) and his wife who uses his kids to solicit his business and attempt to sell his pyramid scheme to you and your family. He starts off by pretending that he knows who you are and then apologizing, making small talk "oh do you have kids?"...no shit I have kids, hence why I bring my kids to a community park. He & his partner will then ask what you do, and if you're interested in investing in his company. Say no thank you & walk away.

Steeplechase Mini Park is a very small toddler's park in a residential area in Folsom…read more Note to Yelp moderators that this is NOT a review for Levy Park, which is a different, separate, larger children's park around the corner. You can find my review for Levy Park here: https://bit.ly/3wFTVhJ There are a lot of parks in Folsom that are called mini parks, but Steeplechase is the definition of a mini park. It's on a very small lot with nothing but a very small playground, a bench, a water fountain, a trash can, and a dog waste center. The play structure only has one ladder, one slide, one small rock wall, a rocking horse, a spinning chair, and two toddler swings. The ground is covered in wood chips. A small walking path leads through the park, from Arbuckle Avenue, to an un-named bike trail segment behind the park, which leads down to Sibley. I originally stumbled upon this park while exploring said bike trail. I would probably not bring a school-age child to this park, since there's not very much to do. The main advantage I can see to this park would be for neighborhood residents who want a place for their toddlers to play in privacy.
