There are also a handful of playground toys, rides, slides and other attractions, complete with foam padding, safety nets and flashing lights, guaranteed to attract their attention! Admission is $28 per child (with one "free" adult allowed to accompany them) with no time restrictions. Posters in the restrooms also advertise special "after-hours" events, such as a Nerf War night for 8+ year olds, which sounds like a blast, even for an old kid-at-heart like me! About the only thing to complain about would be the rather terse and aloof staff running the front desk and managing the expected intake forms and disclaimers - they could be a little more lively and upbeat, if you ask me. That said, they do a good job keeping up the place, performing routine rounds to put toys away, vaccum, wipe things down, and generally get everything squared away in an orderly fashion.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE There's not a lot of options for…read morechildren's museums in Vancouver, but the World of Kidtropolis provides a sure bet when you're looking for something for your kids (perhaps aged 8 or younger?) to do! === 2. OFFERING For $21 (or $19 with a punch card), you get admission for one adult and child for two hours. This gives you access to: - Activities for toddlers and younger elementary school-aged children; - Motion-based activities (like a climbable treehouse and slides and merry-go-round - which costs $1); - Role play-based activities (like an airplane, firehouse, police station, farm house, gas/service station, fifth-wheel camper, hospital, dentist, restaurant, food market, post office/bank, news station, ice cream stand, school, and animal hospital); - Three party rooms (two on the main floor and one upstairs); - A cafeteria; and, - Three motion-based vehicles for children (they move back and forth in one spot) that costs $1 each: a bus, ice cream truck, and a car. ...because of the $1-based rides, you made find yourself needing to bring a lot of coins (only loonies accepted) and spending more than just $19 :) Like many other children's museums, the role-playing areas are often sponsored and logo'd by local businesses. === 3. SERVICE At the reception, staff are friendly; staff are friendly in helping as needed between the overall cleanings and play-area-resets they do every two hours. We did not come here for a party, and so can't comment on the experience with them hosting parties (though we observed what looked like a Spiderman-based parties with themed balloons and someone in costume). === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's bright and the high ceilings give a feeling of openness; the areas can also be easily traversed by people of all ages and abilities. Wheelchairs and baby strollers fit everywhere (except in the tightest of role-playing areas). We did not check out the restrooms while here. Parking is a bit odd as you may find yourself parking around the building/corner since many spaces in front are reserved for other businesses.

It was our first time here, but we have been wanting to come for some time now, just always hesitated because the price was on the higher end. The one thing that disappointed us was the attitude of the lady working there. She was not friendly at all, didn't even smile once during the 3 hours that we were there. There is zero customer service. When it came time to leave instead of giving us a 30 min reminder to usher the kids out, she went in at 6pm and shouted at everyone. I think this is very unnecessary as the kids were having fun. As parents we were already trying to get the kids out of the play area to the best of our ability, but kids don't necessarily respond well to yelling. I liked the venue, but won't be coming back. We came here to have fun, and this kind of customer service has definitely left a very negative impression for us.

We spent $28 for 15 tokens and then looked around for machines to play on. I should have looked…read morefirst as most machines took 2 tokens, so that's roughly $4 per play. Even though there were lots of machines, I thought the selection was on the small side. I went back to read other Yelp reviews and some of them state that the staff gave them additional coins if they weren't winning anything. Thankfully, we didn't have to go that route, as we did come out with two stuffies. This is really different from one of our local places where it is $1 per play and for $30, we're getting 5+ toys. It was a late afternoon on a weekday and we were the only customers there for most of the visit. The one woman working the counter was nice and helped reposition some prizes. One of the toys we got was a Totoro that was very soft - quality seems good. I think you can have fun here, but I'd recommend walking the floor first to make sure you have the right expectations.

In the past we've found that it's usually quite difficult to win any prizes from claw machines; however, I had seen an Instagram reel where the reviewer said that it wasn't that hard with these machines. She was right. My daughter ended up winning something on her very first try! I spent about $10 at Sumo Dino Claw City and my daughter walked away with two Demon Slayer items including a plush Nezuko. (Her favourite character from Demon Slayer) Could have actually saved myself $4 as she won her two prizes already after using only $6 worth of tokens.

It wasn't as large as I had thought, and maybe there was too much to choose from, but my 4 year old didn't stay engaged in one play area for very long before wandering off to the next There are various play areas - water, ball pit, bounce/ inflatable, playground, etc. and they organize little games throughout the day. The place is fairly clean and well maintained. There is a small cafe with a small seating area They say no outside food and drinks, but it looks like a lot of families packed their own snacks. Free parking in plaza lot. Free wifi. I like the bunch of leftover birthday balloons by the front desk that are free for the kiddos as they leave. Makes going home a little easier.

Yes you need to pay a cover charge for extra adults, like EVERY other play place. I'm glad. What sets this place apart is not just its typical rules for everyone's safety, not even the dynamic program with something for each age. Not even some of the best thought out layout of a freaking huge amount of toys and activities. When it comes down to it, the ownership has done a fantastic job making this a fun safe place to learn... but MOST of all by staffing it with caring, wise,genuinely nice people. A lady was here and just lost her phone, there are tons of people here today, yet multiple staff helped look for it l.. and finally found it. I just watched the lady hug the staff member. It's really just a great place to come.
