My nephew
Deanna D.

Whew chile, I do not miss having small children! I visited Hyper Kidz this past weekend for a 5 year old's bday party, with my young nephew. The moment you step foot into this place, absolute CHAOS. There were literally people everywhere! The waiting area was packed, the play area was packed! My germophobia was at an all-time high! I really felt like they were over capacity! Of course you expect some level of chaos at a venue geared toward kids, but I expected more organization to the chaos. Whoever designed this place didn't really think it through. There is only a small area where shoes are allowed, which I understand because we carry a lot of nasty things on the bottom of our shoes. But, special socks are not provided as they are in other places, so you're walking around in the socks you wore there. I noticed some parents walking around with hospital booties on top of their shoes. I wish I knew those were available, my feet felt so grimy leaving this place! The biggest design flaw is the placement of the bathrooms and eating areas. They are all located within the play area. So that means you're walking shoeless in the most dirtiest areas! Like really, if your child has to use the bathroom, you have to walk in, in just your socks, that's all! It really defeats the purpose of having people take their shoes off, because now you're just tracking urine and fecal matter. The place area is also designed properly. Finding your kid is nearly impossible in this place. If you do decide to visit, make sure you dress your kid in bright, unique clothing, so you can easily spot them in the midst of the chaos. I looked for my 5 year old nephew for 15 minutes before asking the young lady on the mic to make an announcement, for her only to say "I can't make an announcement while they're doing the birthday dance....baffling! While nephew enjoyed himself in the moment, days later he has a stomach bug. No doubt, it was from this place. Made me feel horrible to have taking him to this place. I highly suggest you stay far away from this place, especially if you are your kid has a compromised immune system!

This place is awesome for kids! It's great for rainy or cold days to keep your kids entertained. It is appropriate for all ages and even adults can fit on the playground and go down the slides. They have different sections of play equipment for the different ages such as children under 2 or 7 and under. My daughter had a blast and she's five years old. I saw kids of all ages there from crawling babies to maybe 12 years. There were tons of kids to play with. There was a ball pit section with slides, bigger slides on the big kids play ground, trampoline section, and tons of things to climb. You must wear socks so we brought ours since it's flip flop weather. I believe they have snacks and drinks but I didn't look into it. The restrooms were nice as well. I recommend checking in and signing the waiver on your phone. We will definitely return.

My nephew and I visited the venue for a birthday party. You have to prepare yourself for sensory overload. Once you walk in it's children's screaming and playing everywhere- as they should! There are cubbies for shoes in the entryway. Adults are offered shoe covers. No one is allowed in the play area with shoes. Food and drinks were provided by the party so I don't know about the food sold at the venue. The play area was clean and contained a variety of play options to entertain children ages 3-10years old. The party hostess was very kind and knowledgeable about the organization. This was a great day of play and I highly recommend for an afternoon of fun or a party.

Broken straps

We attended a birthday party today and I was shocked by the sheer volume of people in the building at one time. Upon entering the play area, I noticed the no shoes rule was not enforced as multiple individuals were wearing shoes. I also noticed the amount of dust and broken structures. It did not appear to be any organization or guidance when checking in. We were confused about where to place gifts, party room, etc. My five year old seemed to have fun but ended up crying a few times after being knocked down by older children. I had to hold my three year olds hand the entire time to make sure he was not knocked or pushed down. This is not normal for him as he usually holds his own at indoor playgrounds such as totsville and urban air. When you go to the top of the main structure there is a pit with multiple straps that you can crawl or fall down. Some of the straps are broken and I witnessed kids tearing up their skin as they fell down almost four layers of these straps. You could also see layers of dust that must have been there for a while along with chip bags, socks, and other debris. The host for the party was subpar at best. She passed out pizza and disappeared. Then came back and asked if the birthday boys mother needed help with the cupcakes. At that point it was too late. Overall, it was the worst indoor playground I have been to in the Anne Arundel and Howard county area. Multiple parents including myself expressed how we would never come back to a party at HyperKidz. Cutting back on capacity, cleaning and keeping up with the fixtures could possibly turn this place around.

I visited with my toddler on a weekday around 1:30. There were a few other "groups" there, but it was mostly empty until about 5:00 ; which is when we left anyway. They close for 30 minutes to do a deep cleaning daily. There's not much around during that time so plan accordingly. Hand sanitizer was spread throughout and masks were being worn. I like that on weekdays it's unlimited play. There are 4 areas loosely divided by age. The tots area is a lot of soft climbing features and a water pillow. The little kids area has a few unique merry go round like toys and a large block play area. This may be where one of the balloon or ball rooms was because this area is stark. The highlight is the "big kids" area, but there is still plenty here for a toddler. Trampolines, tunnels, large bumpy slides, and lots of ropes. A fourth area appears as an afterthought but it seems like it houses a ball pit or balloon room. There are a couple slides and a merry go round but not much else. Restrooms seemed clean and cared for too. I'd return here again on a weekday but would be hesitant on a weekend where I can see it being too crowded for comfort.

We were looking for a place to bring our three year old, where she could run around, play and be around other kids in a safe environment. We found it in this place. This place is very similar to a fun indoor playground chain in Southern California called Jump 'N Jammin', yet I do believe Hyper Kidz has the slight advantage. A huge multi-level play maze for kids to climb, slide, bounce and have fun in, a little dance floor which lights up wherever you step, slides that enter into a little ball arena, wacky swings and other things to keep little ones busy for hours. There's also a little play area for kids two and under so they don't have to deal with the more rambunctious older kids. They also have rooms for parties (there were about four during the time we were there). And there's free wi-fi which came in handy since my cell reception was rather poor in there. All of the staff members (and the majority of patrons) followed the instruction at the front door and were wearing masks (for future readers, there was a pandemic going on when this review was posted). And one other reviewer indicated the floors were so slippery, kids were slipping and falling with every step they took. I have no idea what was going on with that family, but the floors were not particularly slippery and not one person slipped and fell while we were there (and kids were running all over the place). Keep in mind, you ARE wearing socks (a requirement) which typically don't have tread on them, so you're not going to have as much traction as you do with shoes on. Having said that, while it's conceivable that people who lack coordination when they walk may find walking in socks a challenge and may skip, it's not as if the average person would have a problem with walking across the room in this place. Nice price, and a great place to tire your kids out while they have tons of fun (and possibly make new friends). And as long as parents keep their kids in line when they start to misbehave (as was the case during our visit), it makes for a fun time for everyone. I highly recommend this place for kids. One word of advice for the adults who insist on showing their kids how cool they are: the play areas are designed for kids - be the adult and stay off the slides.

During the start of the summer we were looking for fun indoor activities for our son and found Hyper Kidz. Checked it out once here in Columbia and loved it! Only a few minutes from where we live and we come at least 3 or 4 times a week. Perfect way for my son to exert energy. Got the annual pass and plan to keep bringing our son. The staff is friendly and helpful and the facility is clean. Definitely recommend!

Great place for kids birthday parties and fun events. They have trampolines, slides, party rooms, a dance floor with bubbles, and a small kids play area.

My grandson loved his visit. I brought a portable chair to sit outside and smoke a cigar. It was too noisy inside for me.

I brought socks with rubber on the bottoms for the kiddos to wear, but that's not required.

Walking in, the place was welcoming, the staff was friendly, and the space was clean. My 4 yr old…read morehas such a great time there every time we attend. Of course we have only been there during the week so its not crowded like most places. The sitting area is big and you can definitely watch your kid from the sitting area. They have a little soccer field area which my son loves, the slides are fun, and if you put tokens in your players card they can ride in little cars, play the claw machine games plus others, and taking pictures in the photo booth. Absolutely love this place and i've never had an issue with the staff, they are always helpful and friendly.

Overall: cool indoor playground for kids, relatively clean, kind service, a little pricey,…read moremulti-stall gendered restrooms with changing tables and child size sinks in each Not sure if it's just because this place is on the newer side but it felt like one of the cleaner and more sturdy indoor playgrounds I've been to. I loved that there was a separate area for young kids. It was excellent for my 9 month old and it's labeled to be for kids in diapers. The big kids area was great too. I felt like I could support my toddler safely in it. There were multiple slides, carts to ride down a dolly slide, a soccer field, and all sorts of things. I didn't love the angle on the big pink slide. It seemed dangerous and I saw a young girl hurt herself on it. My son loved taking breaks in the black light space dance room. There are tables and picnic tables and the bathrooms were pretty clean. There were extra things you had to pay even more for like foosball, air hockey, claw machines, motorcycles to ride, and maybe other arcade games. It was $22 which I felt was a little pricey. I think the catch is that you can leave and come back, but I'm never going to spend my whole day at one of these places.

Would I recommend this establishment...absolutely! Can't wait to go back!…read more I found this place by searching for play activities near Columbia mall. I had never been here and wasnt sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. Location: Inside the mall, on the first floor, right outside the Nordstroms. Easy to find. Cost: Worth the entrance fee, both child and adults have to pay. Fair price. There are also take home activities and play that cost extra, such as slime, treat making, soap making, and more. These extra activities are also fairly priced and and so much fun. The entrance fee to the Kids Playseum allowed you access to the establishment nextdoor, Playseum upstairs. They also have playseum bucks as well. Staff: Super nice, helpful, experienced and attentive staff. Everyone one we interacted with for our time there was fabulous. We were able to go to both the Be with me playseum and the playseum upstairs. Cleanliness: The kept a tight shop. The toys and amenities were well kept, organized, clean and in good condition. Options: There were so many rooms to play in, so many cute toys, books, dress up and imagination play. My favorite was the ice bucket where the fish were kept in the Safeway. Super cute! The girls loved playing here and definitely want to come back. Overall wonderful experience!

This place is awesome. We came here for a birthday party and they had individual stations for kids…read moreto interact with. There's literally something here for everyone. When we entered we were given $8 of their currency to spend inside. Most items or adventures are $3-5. My daughter ended up making her own body scrub and slime. While I like the idea of have kids "budget" their fun I wish it wasn't that serious. I can't imagine it would cost them much more, especially based off what they charge for birthday parties. Overall the staff were very friendly and helpful and everything inside was clean and santized. It would be nice if they placed a handwashing station in the middle of the venue. Currently there's a bathroom in the far corner that seemed very sketchy.

I would definitely recommend this place for just a random weekend outing or for a birthday…read morecelebration! We booked a super party to celebrate my son's 3rd birthday and were pretty happy with the experience over all. Booking was easy and came with 2 pizza's and 10 capri sun's or water for up to 10 children. We added on 3 additional pizza's, chicken tenders, honey BBQ wings, which were more like boneless nuggets that were flat but delicious, and 4 four liter sodas. The food was really good. I'm not sure exactly where it came from as they told us they are contracted with multiple vendors but it was good. They charge $100 to bring in outside food so if you're in between and do the math, it's worth it to just purchase through them! My baby thoroughly enjoyed his party and the adults enjoyed as well! The bubbles in the middle of the floor were a major hit while playing the Gracie's Corner "Happy Birthday"! My only critique is that the light floor was broken, which my child loves. Huge bummer! We had a great time, though! I was very happy with everything! All we had to bring was our cake, candles, and a lighter. The facility took care of everything else.

We visited Hyper Kidz and unfortunately, it was a disappointment. We came on a Wednesday after work…read moreand the place looked like a Saturday morning. The place felt unkempt and poorly maintained, and it was clear that the staff were just going through the motions. There was little energy, engagement, or care from anyone working. It didn't feel welcoming or safe enough for a return visit. This was our first and last time here. Icing on the cake- a male worker entered the girl's bathroom from a back entrance, no announcement, nothing. No, thank you.
