    This place is AWESOME! We hosted my daughter's 4th birthday party at Imagination City. My daughter is really into construction vehicles, so we had a construction themed party. My daughter absolutely loved it and had a wonderful experience at Imagination City. All the kids who attended appeared to love it as well and the adults got to sit back and relax knowing the kids were preoccupied in the play area. The staff was incredible with assisting with sit-up. They also allowed us to drop-off items in advance to ease our burden on the day of the party. Everything was organized, clean, and in quality condition. The only negative is having to go offsite to use the bathroom. Other than that, we had no complaints and highly recommend having your kids birthday party at Imagination City!

    10 stars! Imagination City made my granddaughter's 3rd birthday unforgettable. The owner was wonderful, incredibly attentive, helped set up and clean up, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The space was spotless, the kids were engaged and happy, and the parents were well taken care of too. Our family highly recommends Imagination City for birthday parties or just a fun day out with the kids. We will definitely be back!

    My kids loved their birthday party here. Janine was amazing and was a great communicator. She made sure I didn't have to do anything the day of the party. The kids had a blast and I highly recommend it here. Everything went smoothly and would come back for day play!

    Had a play date here with my two kids a few of my friend's kids. They all had a blast! We tried our best to keep all the toys in their correct areas but of course, kids will be kids. There was one worker that night and they got us in quickly. There is a lot for the kids to do here. One down part is not being able to have a bathroom easily accessible but Cheesecake Factory is not far. You can have a private party here. We always love seeing the beautiful balloon setups at the window. My girls love this place!

    Absolutely love Imagination City! I've taken my kids here on a rainy day or day off from school and they never want to leave this year I decided to host a joint birthday for my children and each little guest had a blast. There are a ton of different playhouse areas for pretend play, slides, cars, even an area to get some jumping energy out. My kids were 3&5 so I think at a perfect age. Everything was super easy and I felt like I could stress less about setup and cleanup. Highly recommend this wonderful place! Janine was amazing.

    I hosted my daughter's 4th birthday here and it was the best birthday party ever! I highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, and memorable birthday party venue for their child. I actually hosted my older daughter's party at their old tanforan location and even she still says that was her favorite and most memorable birthday to date. The owner Janine was on site and she is a party pro! I opted to bring my own balloon display and as soon as we arrived, she quickly helped me put it together in a blink of an eye. She also timed everything perfectly from play and lunch to photo ops and before I knew it, had everything packed up and consolidated so that we could load up the car. Truly seamless and magical! The venue is spotless and beautifully maintained, which allowed for my daughter and all her friends to play together...they had the best time! Thank you so much Janine and imagination city! Your space is such a valuable addition to the community and we are so grateful you're here!

    Cute little play place inside Hillsdale mall, probably best suited for under 5 set. Pros: Appeared very clean Check in was fast and they have QR codes while you wait in line so you don't have to do all the forms at the counter. Looks to have a cute, modern party area, spacious and open. A lot of make believe setups, make believe toys and costumes Cons: Pretty small and not the most to do imo... if you already own a lot of Melissa and Doug players for make believe, this place just has a lot of them. Not a lot of space for the scooting toys they have, as mentioned it's really for kids under 5. My daughter is 6 and I felt like she was way overgrown for the setup even though there were older kids there. There's not a lot of active play structures, it is more like a children's museum in format. Pricey for the value, maybe because my child was done 1 hour into a 2 hour session we paid for.

    Thankfully I called earlier to ask about availability and heard about online booking for my toddler to play at Imagination City! The adorable storefronts paired with toys and lots of ride-on vehicles made this a delight for both kid and parent. Everything was clean and staff were friendly. Totally would come back, someone invite us to their toddler birthday party at Imagination City!

    Cute place to play for toddlers but not providing a bathroom or a space to use personal potties is pretty disappointing for a play place made for toddlers. A potty training toddler is definitely not making it to the mall bathroom every time.

    Ask the Community - Imagination City

    Do they have a bathroom inside, or do we have to go to Cheesecake Factory?

    The last two times we've went, the hours say it's opened but it is very obviously closed. When is this place open?

    Follow their Instagram page or call before planning a trip , I know they close for maintenance at times . I think most days during the week they are open from 11-6 .

    Is this place open again?!?

    Yes was there yesterday

    What kinds of things are there for a 9 month old? He can crawl/scoot and starting to pull up to stand on things.

    I would suggest for kids closer to walking age. There is space to crawl, but when it's busy older kids are running around. No designated space for babies to crawl.

    Are you open this Sunday?

    Weekends are for private events only.

    Is there a designated space for crawlers or pre-crawlers?

    No it's all one area.

    We've been here for camp, open play, and birthday parties. Always a clean play place!…read more This review is specifically for the summer camp. My daughter really enjoyed it. As a parent, a few things that I really liked about this camp: 1) they provide snack 2) they make sure the kids wash their hands 3) they have a drive thru pick up/ drop off system. Very easy and convenient. You show your ID to pick up your kid - very safe. 4) the kids did so many activities throughout the day. They would play games and do crafts and it seemed like the workers were very engaged with the kids 5) they share pictures with you at the end of the week. You can also find pictures on instagram each day Great place, highly recommend!

    Parking is very limited in the area and primarily street parking…read more Weekends are closed to the public for birthday parties. They run multiple parties at the same time and you rotate hourly between the gym, food, and arcade. Gym: Nice play structure with a small area for younger kids. Probably most ideal for kids 3-5. Food: Aside from cake, you have to utilize their food options. We had pizza, fried chicken, juice/water/soda and fruit. The dining area is quite small so if you are expecting more than 30 total people, you will feel like sardines. Arcade: Geared towards young kids, but they also have skeeball. Birthday packages are on the pricey side (starting at $750) so probably would wait until kids are at least 4-5 so that they can enjoy everything.

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would! It was my first time planning a birthday party for my…read moreson and there were a large number of guests attending so I was extremely overwhelmed. I worked with Melissa on the party planning and she provided a lot of tips and reassured me that her and her team would be assisting throughout the party. On the day of the party they set up everything in the party room! The decorations, plates, food, etc. It allowed me to be able to enjoy play time with my son and allowed me to mingle and catch up with the parents. And after the party was over, with a blink of an eye, everything was all cleaned up. :) I find that it's difficult to find good customer service these days so I wanted to point out that the staff I've encountered were all REALLY friendly and I can't thank Melissa enough for a stress-free party. Would highly recommend Peek-a-Boo Factory for a party or even a drop-in with your kids. The play structure is very spacious so I rarely had to crawl to play in there with my son. A big plus!

Appreciate their positive energy. I'd like to note that their policy allows for entrance 10m before party time, but not after? Strange. I had a 2-hour party and I believe it should have been strongly discouraged for a party of my size. I didn't anticipate how rushed it would feel, nor that overage time would be charged by the minute at the end. While I understand their policy and did read about it beforehand, I would have appreciated a clearer recommendation during our initial communications. Given the size of my party (and I had extra people I didn't expect to show up come), more time was realistically needed for setup and breakdown, and a heads-up from peek a boo team would have been helpful, as they are the professionals.

I booked the space about 6 weeks in advance online having never set foot in the place before. The venue is great and conveniently located in Tanforan Shopping Mall. The mall is completely dead, but this playspace seems VERY popular! Booking was a breeze and I emailed the coordinator the week prior to confirm details. Cindy was super responsive and easy to coordinate with! She let me come the day before to set up the party room and helped me get tablecloths and some decor in place. Being able to set up our balloon arch the day prior and they fact they provided a backdrop frame/stand was a game changer because the next day, I just had to bring in food and we were all set! We had about 50 guests at the event (adults and kids) and all the guests were SO happy to just walk in and let their kids loose. Everything is padded and super entertaining for all the kids (ages 1-8), so it was VERY easy for the parents to actually be able to hang out and chat without worrying where their kid wandered off to. Clean up was a breeze - Cindy made everything so easy for us and didn't pressure us at all to wrap up and get out. We put everything in trash bags and off we went. I definitely recommend this place for a private party and hope to be back!

Because: - the party coordinator I emailed with was always quick to respond, did so thoroughly, and everything was seamless. - the party host (Mike) was awesome. Friendly, patient, helpful, and a good attitude. There are def some workers here who seem like they may be having a bad day or just don't want to deal with people (noticings on previous visits), but Mike is not like that. I'm grateful we had him! - venue and party room were clean and ready. The set up was exactly as described with an extra table for adults outside the party room. Tableclothes/napkins/plates and a backdrop stand (poles) and tape for decorations were provided. - staff will clean up the party room after, but we did majority because I feel it's rude to just leave everything for one person to clean up after. - our party was from 11-2pm, however guests were allowed to stay and play until they wanted to leave (or until next private party starts). We didn't feel rushed or pressured or stressed. Was probably the best part of the experience. - since there was no party the night before, we were able to decorate the night before the party and I was elated. I don't understand how some places only offer 30 minutes for some quick touches. Works for some but not for me since I enjoy going above and beyond when it comes to decorating. We had time enough to build the balloon arch from scratch and hang up everything else. I will note that the party room has a lot of blemishes on the wall, so I recommend bringing decorations that will cover them. I used balloon clusters and photo printouts. Our total came out to $880 and was well worth the 50 guests we hosted. Wholeheartedly recommend booking a private party here.
