Quite a bit to explore, ages 2-7 is ideal. Clean bathrooms, and decent food menu-- veggie burger was made well. Fresh fruit available. Usual favorites such as pizza, hot dog, French fries and ketchup. Floor plan allows multiple parties and plenty of space for many kids. read more

We had heard of Imagine That! For years but never took the time to go. Now that we have visited our kids keep asking "when we're going back?". It's amazing how many areas they have, and how there really is something that each kid wants to do... even if they eventually end up doing it all. Painting, building, playing. They even have a real fire truck, a pirate ship with slides (and costumes), and a grocery store. I love that it's not only fun for the kids, but seems to have a hint of educational components as well. We didn't eat there but it was nice to see that they offered food as well which was really nice for parents and siblings who need a break. read more

We decided to come here for a small road trip and indoor fun. They have a big lot and room. They have play areas like a small grocery store for pretend play, painting and small rooms for parties. Food and snack bar with eating area. The toys were old beat up, as if someone left on the curb with a FREE sign. Staff was subpar and acted like we were bothering them on their weekend off. They look like they rather be anywhere else but there. Nothing special or worth going back for. read more

Imagine That is a great place indoor play space. We spent a couple of hours there and probably could've stayed longer if nap time wasn't creeping up. They have different play areas- a baby doll care area, a vet area for stuffies, a pirate ship with slides, a giant light bright wall, and my personal favorite - a grocery area with real (emptied) grocery products on shelves, complete with shopping carts and a checkout area! There's a lot to do and my 2.5 year old was definitely overwhelmed at first, but quickly found her groove and had a great time! There's a cafe area with your standard American fare- chicken fingers, fries, chips, pizza, etc... Prices were as expected (I spent $13 on a slice of pizza, water bottle, fries, and a bag of Pirate's Booty). They have signs that indicate no outside food or drink is allowed, but I saw several folks with lunch boxes and no one said anything to them. They also occasionally have special events where different unlicensed characters visit- Bluey, "Miss Rachel," Paw Patrol, etc. so be sure to check their website. My daughter loved singing and dancing with Bluey! Overall would definitely come back here again, especially on a rainy or cold day. read more

The kids I took care of loved going to this location. There were so many options to play with. They particularly liked the grocery store, The options of toys to play with at the veterinary section, the firetruck, pirate ship, piano and the metal gravity balls in the back. I would advise parents and caregivers to keep a close eye on your kids in the section where the metal balls are because those balls can be dangerous when lots of kids are playing with it at once. We ended the day with getting something from the gift store, which the boys were happy that they were many options to pick from. They want to go back again so I guess it was a success. read more

So many things to do! Meets every one of the senses. Great sensory options. Absolutely perfect for a toddler.

Cool spot. Big, with many different activities/toys. The interior is a bit dated and could use a freshening up but my son has a lot of fun.

It was just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there but not a bad way to spend a couple of hours with a toddler if you live close by. The place needs a refresh. A lot of their stuff is old and beat up. read more

My kids were obsessed with Imagine That! It is a huge space and is endless hours of fun for my toddlers. I love that they also have a cafe, we were able to have lunch and enjoy the space for a bit longer. There was a birthday party on Sunday when we visited, but it never felt overcrowded. There is something for everyone - vet clinic, jungle gym, arts and crafts, boat with slides, building toys and train tables! Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

A nice place for young kids (not older than 5 y/o). A great variety of toys, play areas, different art mediums, and a mini cafe to buy food. Open play price is about $23/child and then $7/adult if I remember correctly. I appreciated that they didn't charge much for adults because that would have been a rip-off. Although there was a good amount of toys, I'm not sure we would come back though. It was underwhelming. There are bathrooms. Staff work hard, walking around tidying up different areas and switching out the art supplies. That was nice to see. They also do birthday parties and have private rooms. read more

If you're looking for a place to have your child's birthday party- book it here! We just had my son Alex's 3rd birthday party here and it was perfect!!! Karisa and Cheryl took care of EVERYTHING, including special ordering a blue construction theme because my son's favorite color is blue. They did all the decorations, food and cake. (I'm so used to having to do all the party planning, decorating and cleaning myself and this was such a great experience for me to be able to enjoy my son's birthday WITH him). The food was delicious and they packed anything left over to bring home. We had 10 kids (8 months old - 7 years old) and everyone had such a great time. The toddler activity was a lot of fun during the party. There are areas to play for all ages. The jungle gym is my son's favorite! We visited one time before and since then my son has said he wanted his birthday at "the imagination museum" :) Thank you to the staff at Imagine That for making today so easy and fun!! read more

Imagine That! is such a great place for all types of play and wonderful for birthday parties! The chef they have there is also incredible- don't forget to try the garlic hummus! read more

Temps are freezing and finding entertaining indoor activities for my 1.5 year old is top of mind! Imagine That is basically the largest playroom you could ever imagine and you could spend hours here if you wanted to play with everything. There are several different climbing areas, a large pirate ship, a kitchen / grocery store area, a music room, a big fire truck, mega train sets and light brite and so much more. My daughter was a bit overwhelmed at first (it is sensory overload) but by the end of our time we couldn't get her to leave. On a Saturday it was pretty crowded. They do a ton of birthday parties and several parties were going on at once. Admission is $22 for a child and $7 for an adult. No outside food or drinks are allowed in, but they have a snack bar with a bunch of options. There are lots of imaginative play aspects that I could see my daughter enjoying when she is a bit older. But for now this is a great spot for her to run around and explore. I'll definitely plan to visit again at some point over winter! read more

A great experience. There were lots of different play areas, and they were clean and in good shape. Others say that it's not a museum; it's not, but it's not supposed to be. It's a great place for kids to play and can likely keep them busy and having fun for hours. read more

We brought our daughter here a long time ago, for a friend's kid's birthday party. It was great back then and I'm sure they've incorporated more interactive toys and activities since then. This is a great idea for a party venue or even just to bring the kiddos for a day of fun and learning. The best part is that they get to touch everything! They have costumes for dress up and these huge fixtures, like a pirate ship with a slide and fire truck to play around in. We loved the musical instrument section and the different area for pretend play, like grocery shopping and playing doctor. There was an arts and craft section but at that time our Little was too little. They had Rodys and little toys she was able to ride on by herself. This was the first place she ever slid down a slide. She had a great time and so did we, as parents, being able to play along with her in a safe, child-friendly environment. If ever in the area again, I would definitely want to take her. They're pretty far from where we live. Our friends lived in NJ at the time of the party. It's apparent, based upon the pictures, that they've improved on what is an already really awesome facility. read more

This place is definitely not a museum. It's a large playroom with toys that's kind of dingy. There are lots of other places like this that are both cheaper and cleaner. It was definitely underwhelming and we won't be back. read more

Great indoor space for kids with a huge amount of different activities to choose from. This is a great place to bring little ones to do everything from arts & crafts to games to climbing gyms and lots of other toys in between. In short, if you want to burn a toddler out, this is a place to do it. But it's also a great place to have them be creative and have plenty of fun along the way. The place is fairly clean and extremely spacious. I'm a big fan of the variety of activities, it really is impressive how much there is to do here. There is also plenty of space for parties as well. I didn't have any issues of customer service problems that some reported here. The staff I interacted with were all friendly and helpful. The fact they also had some weekend entertainment was a nice bonus. read more

PARENTS PARADISE ! Is what this place should be called . Or Parties R US . Huge warehouse full of toys, activities ,play sets ! Countless themes and settings . Perfect for a rainy , snowy day or just a easy weekend afternoon out ! one price is for the WHOLE DAY . They have 4 separate rooms for your child's party . You have a theme they supply most of the decorations with matching colors . Except Balloons . CHEF on the premises . Great selection of food : sandwiches , pastas , several VEGAN choices for the party and just to order while your kids exhaust themselves playing . The pizza is so good , it should be available for Uber eats . Single dads it's cheaper and better then a whole day elsewhere . Bring your laptop , let your kid runs free . Even better they have LARGE screen TVs and put on the game too ! This is the ideal place for kids to play with other kids . NOTE : there is no signage on the street , to let you know it's the right building . The town prohibits it . The entrance itself needs a much bigger sign or banner. It's def a word of mouth kinda of place . read more

Amazing place to distract your child or toddler on a rainy day - especially if you live an apartment.

GREAT space for our daughter's birthday party. The staff was so helpful and accommodating and NICE. It was truly a pleasure to work with Karisa and Cheryl to plan our party. read more

Considering having my son's second birthday here! Came by to check it out and my son was very excited to play. He ran right to the Legos and wooden train set. Wandered over to arts and crafts. Climbed all over the jungle gym. He was tuckered out by naptime. There was still plenty he was not quite old enough or tall enough to play with, but I know we will continue to come back as he grows up. For 2, it might not be the best birthday location for our family, but I totally see it being ideal for 3, 4, or beyond. We'll come back to play soon. read more

I came here with my daughter (21 months) and my friend and her son. (2.5 years old). They had a great time. It is a not a Huge space but they have so many different centers/areas where the kids will just discover, play, and get lost in their own world. We spent about 2 hours there but the kids could have kept on playing. You cannot bring in your own food or drinks. They sell their own. We ended up having a little picnic of our own outside on a patch of grass b/c it was a nice day. Plenty of parking. The staff is constantly cleaning up after the kids and putting things away. As a mom, I can definitely appreciate that! read more

Great children's place. Ages 2 to 9 are best . Interactive activities. As added bonus food is actually good at food concession. Had the barbecues ribs and they were great! Plenty of parking. Was there for birthday party and kind had a great time! read more

My husband and I have brought our 3 young grandkids to Imagine That many times. It boggles my mind that with all the children that are there on a daily basis, it is kept so clean and uncluttered. We have been to many children's entertainment venues and this is by far the friendliest, best maintained and SAFEST venue we attend (not like the disastrous and unsafe Kids' Empire). It seems like it would be best for younger, but our 8 and 10 yr old enjoyed it just as much as the 6 yr. old, mainly because of the time they could spend drawing, painting and creating. It is fantastic for older grandparents to bring the kids - just sit and watch them enjoy their day. Food is very good and unlike some other places, not just junk. Do yourself a favor and try it at least once. You'll be back read more

"Imagine That" has been around forever. After a rainy Saturday visit one can understand why. Time flies here as children have plenty of entertaining activities. From the Pirate Ship and Firehouse to the Arts and Crafts and Jungle Jim play areas this children's museum is packed with fun and excitement. Space is one floor and open - so easy to follow the little ones around. Lunch and refreshments can be had and private party rooms are available. Kids will certainly be ready for a nap when done. Fun time! read more

First of all I am only giving one star because you aren't allowed to give zero and still provide a review. I have never seen such a lack of customer service and professionalism in my life as I have seen from Cheryl who runs Imagine That. After scrolling through the comments I can see this isn't a one off, but her MO and how she does business. My niece, is obsessed with Blipping, like most 2 year olds are. In 2 weeks she is to be celebrating her 2nd birthday and being that COVID and multiple snow storms put a stop to her birthday last year this will essentially be her first birthday party. However, due to an obscene photo of their Blippi on a facebook ad my sister emailed them (as did other parents) to express her concern over the inappropriate photo used in the ad. Instead of taking the ad down or addressing the valid concern or offering an apology Cheryl thought it was better idea to call my sister, curse her out and verbally attack her, and cancel the party without a refund. According to the Facebook page many other parents expressed concern and did Cheryl think maybe I should take it down? No. She doubled down and said she chose that photo intentionally. Are you kidding me? You intentionally chose a picture that basically showed man dressed up as Blippi with an erection for an event aimed at children! That's just sick. I hope people see this review and reconsider taking their children there. I wouldn't normally comment but Cheryl's actions and reactions were abhorrent and she disappointed my niece. read more

The family - especially the kids - love this place! We have held numerous children's parties here and Cheryl (the owner) always went above and beyond. So much for the kids to do while you can socialize with other parents or even hunker down and get some work done. The kids especially love the firetruck, music room and pirate ship (where they can dress up. Best of all - the climbing area is a hit! Well I guess everything is awesome here. Their cafe makes some great apps/salads/pizza and entrees. Tony usually runs the show there. When we have our parties - Cheryl works with our budget and makes sure all we need to do is show up and enjoy our time there. You can opt to have a private party, which we always do. Believe it or not - their pizza is pretty darn good - along with their chicken dishes. Plenty of parking. Check out their website for schedule and events (sometimes they have character's show up). ENJOY! read more

I had my daughter's birthday party at imagine that and it was wonderful. The staff are very friendly, and great entertainment for kids, making jokes the whole time during lunch. Food is good and the kids have a blast. We also opted to add an Elsa appearance and it was magical. My daughter and her friends sang along and danced! I highly recommend having a birthday party there or just going to put a smile on your kiddos face. read more

We came here twice with our toddler this past year in order to break up some long, cold weekends and burn some energy. While we love indoor places, this one was geared a bit toward older kids, so we're glad we came when our child was 3 and not much earlier. He couldn't access the big indoor jungle-gym area, because there were some big gaps he couldn't pull himself up through yet. Other areas were perfectly geared toward infants and young kids, but it was a small area and if you have a walker, they may make a run for it out of that area quickly! We loved the arts and crafts space that they had - very interactive and engaging! Our kid couldnt sit still so we weren't able to really utilize this area but for those parents with creative, older kids, this section will be great for that. The one special thing Imagine That does is host new character visits on weekends, so we were able to dance along with Peppa Pig, and get to see the Paw Patrol (from a distance). Our kid LOVED the experience and it was like a very small introduction to what we may do at Disney or another theme park down the road (great way to test if kids get scared with the dress up characters, etc). A few things to note - unlike some other places where you only pay for child admission, Imagine That also charges per parent. Plan accordingly if you bring extra adult hands along with you. One other thing to note is their bathrooms are in the hall behind the front desk - not a bad thing unless you are J.U.S.T potty training your child and happen to be on the other side of the facility space... making a mad dash while holding your child pressed against your chest is a roulette game I don't like playing, so make sure to be proactive asking/prompting for potty breaks with your recently toilet-trained ones! Overall - a great experience and we're excited to continue supporting them. read more

Beyond DIRTY and UNSANITARY!!! You can see the actual dirt on toys and the carpeting. I feel like most of this place hasn't been sanitized since the day they opened. I was beyond grossed out and should have left when I walked in. There were also kids coughing everywhere and my daughter and I were one of two families wearing a mask. Two days later, we are sick and my daughter also has a rash, probably from some nasty thing she touched. DONT GO HERE!!!! read more

we had a school trip and from the time we walked in the lady had an attitude as though she didn't want us there. The place is outdated so save your money you're better off going to your neighborhood park. Trust me they'll have more fun there. The way they ran us out they will never see our business there again. read more

My daughters back was scraped by a bolt in the slide. When I told the owner she said " Thousands of kids go down that slide and don't get hurt. " she didn't even ask my daughter if she was ok and was more concerned about going down the slide to see if indeed a kid could get hurt in there. My Poor daughter showed her which bolt scraped and Grazed her skin through tears and made My daughter feel like she had to prove she hurt herself on their slide. my daughter was crying and saying how Much her back hurt for at least 15 min and no one came to check on us.

They recently remodeled this place, and unfortunately I can't say it's improved. I wish they could bring back the old version! Gone are many of the old favorites - the airplane, the dentist office, the post office, etc. Largely traded for more open space. The worst part is the new play areas. They are constructed so poorly that kids (well over the recommended ages) can not climb around without assistance from the staff. They have 1-2 workers permanently stationed to lift kids to where they can't get. It's actually pretty funny to watch, but frustrating for the kids. Saw multiple kids crying. Also note that they do not always accept valid coupons, so it can be pricey (almost 50 for a family of 4). At this point, my advice would be to stay away. read more

went on a saturday so expected it to be fuller than weekdays but this was just unacceptable....there were over 70 kids in the facility with parents and strollers..all the kids were wearing shoes despite not being supposed to. There was no room for parents to sit..:toys and dirt everywhere...so unhygienic ...the saddest part is they charge adults to enter. So messed up. When I called in advance and asked if it was crowded she lied and said no. never coming back here. read more

BYOS: Bring Your Own Sanitizer This place is big but anytime after opening it's a disaster, just like your kids room. The grocery/shopping area would be cute if it wasn't stocked with trash, literally. While I appreciate the attempt to expand the grocery options, empty orange juice bottles is kinda gross. This place was probably really awesome when it was new but it's old and dated. The "tech area" is a failed attempt to remain hip. Overall: they try and your kids won't care. read more
