Staff is very friendly but will let you know that they are not there to interact with or observe children. I have attended parties here where food, gifts, decorations, were brought in by family & guests. So this is a very expensive jungle gym with bathrooms. Over priced Trinkets can be admired by your littles & purchased on the way out. Heating is consistent so appreciated above the nearby park on an inclement weather day.

We've been homeschooling for two years now, and I can honestly say Imaginarium has been one of the…read moremost meaningful parts of our journey. When we first started, I had so many doubts but walking into this space, meeting the staff, and seeing how thoughtfully everything is run gave me the confidence I didn't know I needed. My children feel at home here. The enrichment classes are creative, engaging, and truly support the whole child, from science and art to movement, music, and community learning. It's not just about academics; it's about connection. The events are incredible, LEGO Night was a huge hit, and the Living History Museum brought so much excitement and learning to life. Watching our son graduate from the kindergarten program here was an unforgettable moment for our family. If you're considering homeschool support or just want to be part of a place where kids are celebrated and parents are supported this is it. Imaginarium is a gem

Visited on 5/23/26 after our outdoor birthday plans for my 10yr old got rained out…read more We were so fortunate to have this place located less than 20 minutes from home AND running a 20% off sale for Memorial Day. You have to pre book time slots which are in blocks of 20mins for up to 8 people. We booked the Junior race which is 20-25 laps for 7-12yr olds. This was ideal for me because the kids were first time racers and racing amongst friends which was highly preferred for safety reasons. Not to mention our original plan was go karting but outdoors so this was the perfect pivot in order to still have an activity for my baby boy. For 8 riders I spent around $140 and I considered that a win as their birthday packages were out of my budget. After booking online they send you a waiver, I highly suggest filling this out before you get there to cut down on time. Before racing the kids were given helmets, watched a safety video and then they were off. They all thoroughly enjoyed their ride and I loved that they got to get their feet wet in an environment that was curated and safe. They're offering summer classes that are focused on stem skill sets as it relates to cars which is really cool. Im not sure how much it cost but will fill out an interest form to see if it's feasible. They also offer passes which and prices can be found on their website. Their customer service is stellar! It's requested that you arrive 15mins before your race time and we were running behind trying to wrangle all the kids and make sure we all showed up at the same time. I called and asked to push our time from 12:30 to 12:50, the young lady I spoke to on the phone was so courteous and switched our time no problem. Then I had the nerve to still run behind for our 12:50 slot and called again to ensure we could still race and to avoid having parents drive up there if we couldn't. Kimberly still accepted us, no problem and was so gracious and patient with us when we arrived. I cannot say enough about how accommodating and kind she was in getting us situated once we got in. Obviously this is not an invitation to play with their policies haha but more to highlight how willing they were to work with me despite accommodating me already. I would definitely bring my babes and friends back to ride again. Thanks you guys !

If you're looking for a gym where your kids can do gymnastics just for fun, this might be the place…read morebut you're NOT going to get the dedication, skill, or technical lessons here that you would get from other gyms. My kid's been doing gymnastics since she was 4. Had her here for almost two years (between summer programs and actual enrollments) and I've got to be honest, her growth was stunted. She could be and she be much further along than she is. Recently, at seven, she's had the wherewithal to say, "my new class is so much harder... they actually teach us the right ways and make us do it." Says a lot. I also want to add that this gym offers Friday night fun clubs for about $40. My kid used to love them. However, recently, Fletcher decided to put my child in timeout and tell her that if she didn't do something, she wouldn't get any pizza. Now, it's 2024 and what we're NOT doing is isolating children and threatening not to meet their basic needs (food), especially without calling their parents. When I asked my daughter later about the entire situation, it was clear that Fletcher (who regularly talks too quickly and gets tongue tied) had confused my child. She was genuinely CONFUSED by what he was asking her to do. I think this made clear to me how ill-equipped folks here are to deal with children. Her confusion was SO developmental and could've been addressed/avoided with clearer instructions. But instead, you chose to punish her in an isolating and embarrassing way at what was supposed to be a fun Friday party? Without calling me? Nah, cuz. We will NOT BE BACK. Also, watching your child from a screen vs. in the gym is wack AF.

The children spent a lot of time watching TV. The 5 weeks that my daughter was there they went outside 1 time. Also, Coach Fletcher would regularly bring his big intimidating dog to the gym. This is highly unprofessional as children have allergies and fears of big dogs. I witnessed a little boy crying frantically when he saw the dog and the coach laughed and told him he's a friendly dog. That was the last straw for me.

I would give this sports academy zero stars if I could. The coaches are TERRIBLE people. My 6 year…read moreold niece has been going to this academy for several months now. She has been taking both the tumbling and gymnastics class. Her coaches have been refusing to move her up to a higher ranking class because she "cries" too much. Their words not mine. They are treating my 6 year old niece differently compared to the other kids in the class. The day of scoring my niece had received the same exact scores as another kid in her class, but they decided not to move up my niece to a new class ranking. Instead, they moved the other kid up. Instead of talking bad about a 6 year old to the other coaches, they should come to the parent. It doesn't make sense why a child is being held back in a class because they are "crying" too much. She is 6! Of course she is going to cry! It is expected for a child to cry when they mess up. Maybe, this academy needs new coaches who understand children. Or maybe the coaches just need to start treating the kids with more respect. The coaches need to learn how to redirect the children when they are upset about messing up. The coaches need to learn how to be better!

We had high hopes for this camp. To give context to Alexandria parents, we did a week of Browne…read moreCamp (which my girls both said was their favorite in town camp and want to go back to next summer), Campagna, vacations, sleepaway camps for three weeks, and then Steve and Kates. I only bought 5 days for each child and we did 3 days the first week and 2 the 2nd week. I ended up having a babysitter come the remaining three days because my girls didn't want to go back to the camp (a first). There is very little structure to the camp, little to no outdoors time, and the food selection was either a bagel or pizza.....every day. There were no other options available. We packed lunches and snacks and after about a day of the camp my kids were really bored. They spent most of the time on pads or watching movies due to other activities being full when they wanted to do them. They specifically asked me to never send them to this camp again.

This park is a very nice neighborhood park. It is relatively small and has a few parking spots…read morealong the circle. The park is buried deep behind a neighborhood. The park has a picnic shelter with picnic tables under it and a grill just outside of it. It has two picnic tables. One of the tables is rectangular and the other is a square table with a checkerboard on it. There is also a couple of picnic tables and a grill in a grassy area in the center of the park's circle. You will also find a nice full basketball court at the park and a nice paved trail passes through it. It is a really nice trail and very peaceful. The highlight of the park though, is its playground. The playground has a rubber mud free floor, which is in great shape. There are benches around the playground's perimeter where parents can sit and watch their little ones. The playground's equipment includes a small jungle gym with slides, a large net climbing structure with a slide. There is also a bank of swings with a toddler swing, An ADA compliant swing, and some traditional swings. This is a very nice park. I didn't know if I would make a special trip to visit, but it is still very nice. I ended up here because I had picked up some food from a carryout joint and needed a place to eat it. The park's picnic shelter was the perfect spot. So, if you are in the area, and looking for a park to visit. I recommend checking this place out.

There is lots of space to park, very clean, and beautiful to look at. My nieces loved the blue color. There's a jungle gym, slides, swings for big kids and toddlers.

Stop by if you're already in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip again.

It is smaller than expected but you can't beat a brand new facility. Will recommend!

I honestly don't understand their business model anymore. The food used to be excellent -- they had a cook who clearly cared about what came out of the kitchen. Now? They fired him and replaced him with people who can't even make a proper grilled cheese. I've ordered it a few times, and it's been different (and wrong) every single time. One time the bread was just toasted with a single slice of cheese stuck in the middle. Another time they browned the bread on the grill and shoved four slices of cheese inside. A grilled cheese is simple: butter one side of two slices of bread, add one or two slices of cheese, and grill until golden brown. That's it. Someone please teach the kitchen staff the basics. The one bright spot is Jerome, the bartender -- he's the only reason this place didn't get a 1-star review. He make a really good cocktail and know what everyone likes to drink. This business needs an owner who treats it like their pride and joy, not something run on autopilot. Hopefully one day things will change, because right now the decline is impossible to ignore
