This experience is worth EVERY penny. Especially if you are a single parent and have no idea how you would handle 13 kids at a party. You don't have to at Hero's.
I wish I could give it a 6 star rating. Planning the party for my child was done online, and they accommodated for two extra children (they did not charge me for the extra child who was a no show). We spoke to our party host on the telephone before hand, for about 5 minutes, and she customized a few games she had planned for the party the next day.
The party itself is driven by the "Hero Host" while you relax with a coffee and enjoy the fun. The kids were kept busy from beginning to end. It was very well organized, we were not stepping all over any other child's party, it truly had a customized feel. The place is super clean, and the decor is fun and vibrant. They had a nice open area for the kids to run, and play tag and such, and mini carnival games set up with decent prizes. The staff is super friendly. They set up our table decorations in our own private party room, served the food, gave the kids refills, and even did the whole present passing/card opening to my child, which - as a single parent - was awesome to actually get pictures of that moment (usually, it's me handing them out). They even write down what guest gave which gift on a list if you wanted to do thank you cards.Truly outstanding.
I did not take my toddler to this party, and I am so glad because they would not have understood they were not "part" of the party. For one, it's not like Chuck-E-Cheese where Grandma can keep the little occupied at the table or on a game... the party has a very precise flow to it in order to make room for the other parties. Also, the bouncy houses are really too big for anyone under 4. If you can, get a sitter... the whole time put in for the parent would be about 2 1/2 hours. I admit I had to save for this, but I am so glad that I was able to give my child 1 awesome party in these early school years. Well worth it. read more
