With 7 and 4 year old granddaughters I am surprised I have never visited this playplace. It's not…read morereally a cafe, I mean there are some snacks and drinks you can buy, and some tables to sit at, but they are a very underwhelming part of this venue. Located very conveniently in the end of a shopping center in the Williamsburg area of York County there is adequate parking and easy access. On entry is some type of eclectic gift shop of a sort, and a table gaming area, arcade, etc. There is comfy seating all around for adults and kids, an art area, an area for the very littles. The gated area has cozy nooks for quiet play, active play for various ages, climbing and sliding. We made our reservation online for a story telling activity with a speech therapist, who very kindly spent just few minutes after with my 4 year old who receives speech services. They also offer a preschool option we are considering. I think this cafe fills a big gap since most playplaces attached to fast food venues closed at Covid and didn't reopen. It's a great place for rainy day activity, but probably gets kind of loud and crazy on weekends especially with onsite birthday parties and such. The price point is average between free and say Busch Gardens. The preschool class once a week from 9 to 12 is $30, so $10 an hour is pretty decent. I was impressed with bathrooms that have wipes, diapers, extra onsies for baby blowouts. They sell grippy socks for kids to wear in the play space and I don't know what all. There are high chairs, lots of shoe cubbies, you name it. I think it is really best for a mobile child at least crawling to about age 5. Beyond age 5 I think many of the active centers are too boring for school age kids. But I haven't brought my 7 year old yet so I can't evaluate. Anyway, 5 stars because what could anyone improve? Great concept and something needed in communities!

There's a parent area with free drip coffee and free Wi-Fi; they advertise that you can work or read while your kids play. ((This just isn't possible for me because they BLAST Disney & Cocomelon kids music. The speaker is right next to the adult seating area and infiltrates your brain. Bring your headphones!!!)) This is a nice spot to splurge on if you need to let your kids play inside - especially on a rainy day.

The AVEBOX is a small local business that packs a power punch picnic. I won a picnic for four from…read morethis company on IG. It turned out to be super enjoyable, tasty, relaxing and super pretty without going over the top. Their motto is simple but significant. Venè, the primary owner is very responsive and wants to ensure your picnic is absolutely perfect! I want to say we rescheduled three times due to bad weather!! No lie!! I'm so glad I didn't give up and neither did she on making this picnic happen. For about the third time trying, it rained, POURED.. I informed Venè it was absolutely okay if she just sets the picnic in my house due to the inclement weather. Was indoors, either of our prime choice? No, but I was eager to experience her creativity and talent bestowed upon us. It was definitely worth the wait!! Venè is soo very sweet and was very respectful of my house. She brought along beautiful vibrant cushions to sit on the floor. We later agreed after set up that perhaps the dining room table would be a better height and more comfortable. We still were able to use the comfy cushions on the seats. The AVEBOX ensures that sanitation is a top priority and gloves were used to handle the food and fruit was washed. Two of my sisters and I were so tickled at how beautiful the set up was with greenery adorning the length of the table, a vase of full beautiful white hydrangeas with pops of baby blue and fuchsia baby breath peppered in between. To elevate the picnic even more, she brought two gold candlesticks and we had a candlelight picnic in my own home. It was absolutely gorgeous. Simple but elegant! Venè prepared four small individual charcuterie boards with a real champagne glass for each of us as a vessel for our Perrier water, Coke & Sprite. In small individual gold colored containers were guacamole and tzatziki dip. On a cute tiered stand she had four sandwiches from TASTE, the Hilltop & Freemason. For dessert she provided the cute Virginia sugar cookies from Taste. She even provides a cute menu with your picnic. Another thoughtful and nice touch is the additional use of games. In a nice crate was a tic tac toe board, a deck of cards and two other games called "We're not really strangers" and "Tabletopics." These are all well chosen games because it engages you in conversation and you learn about how others perceive you. We all enjoyed the picnic immensely! Unfortunately, even though my husband was upstairs and was supposed to join us, he was just too tired to participate because he had to work soon and needed the sleep. Luckily, we took pics and we stored his food in the fridge for him to enjoy later! I showed him the pics later on and he said it was "so fancy!" My sisters that joined me were delighted and beaming with smiles, expressing how much they enjoyed it and how relaxing and beautiful it was! The nice part is, you don't even have to clean up. Venè came back after two hours and packed everything up. She even gives you the vase of flowers! She also gave us a very nice greeting card with a personal message and wishing me and my husband a happy anniversary and a happy birthday to my husband. I highly recommend the AVEBOX for your picnic needs. If you want to celebrate with friends, family, a birthday, anniversary, graduation, date night, intimate baby shower, or any special occasion or just because you want a nice simple elegant picnic where you don't need to plan a thing! The AVEBOX is a solid choice! Responsive, receptive, creative, elegant and most of all this company embodies the essence of family value and sharing precious moments with those you care about. To boot, a picnic is created and executed with love, passion and a lot of heart and enthusiasm. Be sure to tell Venè I said hi! Thank you so much Venè for such a wonderful and memorable experience!! Ps be sure to ask her what the AVEBOX means. ;-) I'll let her tell you.

I love "A Place for Girls" and the setup of the outdoors areas. They are so many pavilion areas, and widely covered by trees too. The classes and event offered here are amazing, I just really wish there was something. Similar in Norfolk. It took me an hour to get to this location from the VA Beach Oceana area.

I was nervous about the 1:4 ratio, but since they were on the younger end, it was mostly a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio for them. I had visions of them being pulled under a wave and being traumatized by the ocean forever, and it's true they did get hit by the board a few times, but the instructors were so positive that the kids didn't mind much, kind of like how falling is a fact of life when you're learning to walk (but we don't tell kids not to learn to walk). I learned a thing or two too - instead of reaching to a bad wipeout with "Are you ok??", I can try saying "Sick wipeout dude!" :) The one thing I would note is to pay attention to the tides - I think the camps are better at low tide.
