We had a great time at Joyville Indoor Playground! The space is huge, clean, and there was plenty…read moreof room for lots of kids to play without it feeling overcrowded. I also really appreciated the dedicated area for children under 2 years old. It was a nice, safe space for little ones to explore. My only complaint is the pricing. They advertise admission as $16.99 per child, but then charge an additional mandatory $2 fee for one accompanying adult. Since young children can't attend without an adult, the actual minimum price is really $18.99 per child. I don't mind paying that amount once, but I do think the advertised price should reflect the true cost or clearly state that one required adult is an additional fee. It felt a little misleading. Most indoor play areas include 1 adult in the child's price. Overall, it's a wonderful play space, but I hope they make their pricing more transparent.

My son, sharing the same name, especially loved the place. There is room for improvement though. He kept me on my toes because there are several places that seemed a little dangerous including trip and fall hazards all around the perimeter of the park. The other kids and parents there seemed pretty nice. One thing that I love about the park playgrounds we visited was the fact that it seems like some people leave their toys behind for other kids to play with. Sure they might be missing a wheel or other piece, but to a kid, it's good as new! I love Bostonians!

We have been here twice in the last week (during pandemic times)…read more Pros: - Separate Big Kid and Toddler Play Areas/Structures - Easy parking - 2 tennis courts, 1 basketball court, play area, baseball diamond, and big grass area Cons: - Often unsupervised children running amuck, while their Canada Goose-wearing entitled Moms are sitting on a bench gossiping about their lives and not paying attention at all to what their children are doing - Big Kids are often running rampant (especially true during the weekend) in the Little Kids/Toddler Play Areas If you have very little ones (toddlers, like I do), I'd recommend going during the week and not the weekend. The Big Kids who are unruly, entitled, and rude as hell will push the little ones around or rush and run around so quickly that they knock over the toddlers like bowling pins. Their parents will see and witness this going down and after each incident, will announce - "Well, it's time to go home." No apologies will ever be said or given, which honestly just says so much more about the parents than their kids. Kids are gonna be kids, but they're often reflective of their parents. ANYWAY - the play structure itself is decent. Go on a weekday, not weekend. Stay watchful of entitled Newtonian Moms.

They put her in a class with four more experienced girls, all of whom knew each other - and the "coach" subsequently ignored those girls making fun of our daughter for not knowing as much. 2. When we brought this to the manager's (Keri) attention, they validated our concerns: "Both the coach and I had to stop the class and talk to them about their behavior several times." But their suggested solution was to move our daughter out of the class instead of continuing to make the other children improve their behavior. When I mentioned a partial refund, she couldn't get off the phone quickly enough. 3. We followed up about this numerous times, and after speaking to us twice, Keri stopped returning our calls. Eventually, we had leave work to visit the business in-person - only to be told that it would be best if they gave us a refund for the remainder of the class (but NOT the poor first few classes) and that she stopped attending. It is very clear that GAB is more interested in money than in helping build kids' confidence and manners. We won't be sending any more business their way, and advise others to stay away.

Awful experience for a birthday party at the NORWOOD LOCATION - look for alternatives (ACTON…read moreLOCATION IS GREAT). Had my daughter's birthday party at Gymnastic Academy of Boston in Norwood, and it was a mess from start to finish. VERY poorly organized and badly managed. I had to decorate the party room by myself with the help of other parents since staff was nowhere to be found. Parents were unsure where to go and had to call me to ask for directions. Party didn't start on time since the coached weren't welcoming the kids inside the gym. I wasn't able to attend the actual gym activities and take pictures because I was left with decorating and organizing the party room, including serving all the pizza and cake, making sure that kids were served when they got to the actual room. The place was left to be "run by" 2 young teenage girls, that were also the coaches who were supposed to supervise the kids and coach them through the activities- needless to say how that went.It was clear that they were underqualified, affecting the quality of the event. The only time one of the girls appeared was 10 min before the end to let me know that if we exceed the time, we will have to pay, she did care to say that while I was sweating, serving cake to the kids and even after witnessing that she just left. During the gym time, there was hardly any supervision for the kids, and they were jumping around dangerously, almost hurting each other, I heard that from multiple parents after the event was over (what an embarrassment). To make matters worse, I called the business after and asked to speak with the manager, Cindy, who returned my call after many follow ups. I explained that I would like to see the safety and staff issues addressed and compensation is more than appropriate. She assured me that she will call me back to touch base and never did. I followed up by phone and email and eventually received a reply from one of the employees offering 1 camp day. I replied that are all set for camp and that's far from an appropriate response for the organization and safety issues experienced as paying customers. I have not heard back since. This could have been resolved efficiently if my complaints were recognized and assured to be addressed along with appropriate compensation. Since neither happened I felt being brushed off which aggravated the situation even more. I am not the complaining type but given that this was my daughters birthday party and the feeling of being treated as a nuisance rather than a respected customer I decided to call the higher management and complain not only about how the event went but also about the management's unprofessional and disrespectful behavior towards their customers. I spoke with Jamie, who is the owner of the Acton location, and he was terrific and overall a great manager. He explained that the 3 GAB locations are individually owned, and he is in charge of the Acton location, while Miss Cindy is in charge of the Norwood location and is actually the daughter of the establishing founders. This is really unfortunate because if you have a problem, Cindy is the person in charge and good luck in getting an appropriate problem-solving solution from her or being taken seriously as a paying customer. Jamie really cares about his business and his clients and took full responsibility for our poorly executed event, apologizing for it and offering to throw my kids next bday party in the Acton location. He even mentioned that he tried himself to speak with Cindy about our event but is still waiting to hear back from her since she is traveling (which often seems the case every time I tried to contact her). Jamie successfully salvaged the reputation of the Acton location and I will be more than happy to conduct future business with him. This post is an adequate closure for me to let other present and future paying costumers know how this business operates. Just sad that it affected my daughters special birthday party that we were all so looking forward to.
