We came to play mini golf!…read more I was actually surprised how empty it was for a Friday night. Nobody was playing any games and there were three groups total in the mini golf area. I think we spent maybe 30 minutes playing the 18 holes with two people. I like the theming of the golf areas, one underwater and one arctic. The holes were kind of simple, but a few had cool things sprinkled in. Maybe 4 total had something cool. It was $9 for 18 holes, each person. No 3D glasses were offered but don't really need them.

All of the kids were miserable cause they were freezing we all had to wear our full winter gear inside. It's so dark in the "party room". 9/10 of the arcade games did not work. Definitely not worth the money. $200 to rent the "room" and then $20 per person/ kid on top of that to golf. It was just pathetic to be completely honest. They are many other places to host bday part events that are well worth the money and price. I wouldn't recommend this or do it again.

Service is good, they're friendly. Prices are pretty normal I think for a coffee shop. For kids the play is hit or miss. Sometimes there's big kids who get into the infant area, sometimes the kids are overly aggressive and parents don't supervise their children. But this time was good, no bullies to my daughter, she got to drive the little bus and play construction. I do like it here but when there's a party going on it's a bit much and easily feels over crowded

There's plenty of different areas for kids to explore, and jumping on the trampolines is fun. The staff is always friendly & helpful. Though there only ever seem to be 1-2 people working at a time & only at the front desk. No one is ever actually policing the park making sure people are following the rules. Maybe it's different during peak hours, but that seems generally unsafe. They just added a super cool obstacle course & slide area. Even adults can fit through it to supervise their kids: it's a really fun area, and the kids enjoy it. It's already extremely run down & it's only a few months old. I've watched it deteriorate from when it was new. The lack of rule following by patrons & lack of overall cleanliness makes this place extremely run down. After we leave here I always feel like we need to sanitize. No idea how parents are in here wearing their actual socks because it's gross. If they actually took the time to clean and care for the equipment this place would easily be 5 stars. What they're charging you'd think they'd be able to maintain it a little better at least in terms of cleaning. I understand the equipment is probably expensive to maintain. BUT if rules were enforced then the longevity of the equipment would also be preserved. Due to it being Alaska and a lack of competition it seems these types of businesses have no motivation to maintain standards.

After having gone to the Sky Trampoline Park with Anchorage family at toddler time for a three year…read moreold's birthday I was sold on what a great, safe, and family friendly experience they offer our grandchildren and their parents. I live in Oregon and have been trying to purchase a family membership for them as a Christmas gift. In the last eight (8) days, calling nearly every day and sometimes multiple times a day my expereince has been disappointing. I have yet to reach any live person with whom I can place a phone order. Their website to join is a deadend, besides which I cannot sign a waiver for them. There is no email option I've found for outreach. I want to pay for the membership over the phone and have them notify the recipients of their pending membership. However, despite mutiple voicemail messages left in the Admin mailbox I have yet to speak with anyone. I tried the phone option for speaking to a live person working onsite but was disconnected twice after waiting a long while for someone to answer. Unless someone can walk in I don't see how to purchase a family membership. Too bad.

It is in better repair than their other park. The staff is pretty nice , the bathrooms are a tad gross, but we'll have you ever told a teenager to clean a bathroom and that elicited a pristine result? Most of their video games work. The vending machines are definitely hit or miss.. If you can afford an Alaska Club membership then the place is a deal. Free passes for the kiddo every day if you are a member there.

Nice small zoo with a more natural, low-key feel. It is fairly easy to navigate, and I appreciated…read morethat many of the animals are endemic to Alaska and housed in enclosures that blend into the surrounding landscape rather than feeling overly artificial. That said, this is a very modest zoo. There is only one small gift shop, which some may appreciate since the focus stays on the animals, but it also means there are limited amenities overall. If you are expecting a large zoo with multiple exhibits, food options, or lots of interactive elements, this may feel a bit underwhelming. One important thing to note is the terrain. There are several steep hills and loose gravel paths, so visitors should be cautious, especially with children, strollers, or anyone with mobility concerns. Good footwear is definitely recommended, and I would avoid running or rushing through the grounds. In the winter, the zoo offers lights so you can visit after dark, which is a unique feature and adds a different atmosphere. I also recommend downloading the virtual map ahead of time, as signage is somewhat limited and it helps with navigation. Overall, it is a pleasant, simple zoo experience that highlights local wildlife

Which, speaking of - the animals here are incredibly beautiful. I was surprised at how interactive and active the animals were. The coyotes howl back, the reindeers are clacking antlers, and the wolves will stalk you along the fence. Entry for Alaska residents is $16. There is a small gift shop and coffee shop with good hot chocolate.

I've been taking my son to the parent & toddler classes now since April 2021. It's a great activity…read morethat gets us out of the house for something different, but my son is also learning gymnastic skills as well as building strength in a fun, relaxed environment. The studio is very clean, and there are 2 large gymnastic rooms. They also offer dance classes as well as parkour. I'm not sure if they have a dedicated studio space for the dance classes. If not that would mean they need to rearrange the gymnastic rooms. They have quite a lengthy list of different classes broken down by age/skill level. They also host different camps, and have "Friday night out" where you can leave your kids with them to do activities while you get some adult time. You can also host kids parties here. The parent/toddler classes are structured where you are joining in to assist/supervise your child on activities. The classes are 45 minutes & broken into different segments to keep the little attention spans engaged. We have primarily had Ms. Angel as a teacher who is excellent with the kids, but we'd also have had subs step in. All the staff we've encountered are all very professional and good with children. In the parent/toddler class you should be monitoring your child, but the teacher will step in to correct any problematic behavior if they see it. I assume in the classes where parents aren't included the staff is more involved in monitoring for any issues. Each week the room is set up in a different manner to allow the tots to explore, and climb. The class for tots & parents is structured so that there are 2 portions of free play, hello & goodbye circle time with Song, a guided warm up, a skill of focus that's taught by the instructor, ball time & bubbles. The different segments are great for keeping the tots engaged, and they especially get excited for the routine of it. A favorite for all of them is ball & bubble time. There are also different themes like super hero or beach week for all classes. This is a great studio, and I will continue to bring my child for classes here as long as he continues to show interest in gymnastics!

It's wildly stimulating, with sounds, kids and bright lights everywhere. They're definitely different from when I was a kid. If you haven't been in the past decade, there's no animatronics fixed to a stage but there is still music and life size Chuck E. Roaming around. My daughter liked the games because she's three. There was a good mix of games for little kids, rides and an assortment for larger kids or adults. We got the tokens loaded onto a card instead of a timed card so it'll be a few returns before we max it out. The price wasn't all that bad. Despite the conspiracy theories about mismatched leftover pizza slices they actually appear to come out fresh from one whole pizza. The pizza itself was alright. By no means bad but used to be a lot better. The ranch tastes mid but the same as other locations in the lower 48. As far as service it was 50/50. Some of the people working do not care and are not very friendly but the young lady behind the register was super. It did take 35 minutes to get pizza from the time we ordered until the buzzer went off. The fries are not my type but they're a safe food for my baby's allergies. They appeared baked instead of fried. Overall not a bad experience but not as great as it once was but maybe I'm just getting old and times are changing.

Visited CEC for the first time in a few years…read more I immediately noticed how minimalist it's become and I like it. Definitely a cleaner vibe. I like how you use the cards/machines for games. I imagine lines get long during peak hours. Luckily we were there at opening. Most games were brand new and easy to use for my toddler. They even have a little jumping area that will require you to visit the front desk for non-slip socks. Plenty of seating up and downstairs, the booths look new and updated. I unfortunately cannot comment on the food this review but CEC usually has very decent pizza, wings, and salad. Next time! Those bathrooms are still gag worthy though. I want to say the flooring right before the bathroom was completely soaked through. As someone with sensory issues I was mortified to feel the squish under my feet. All staff encountered were welcoming and helpful.

When I arrived at Ray's…read moreto tour the facility, I happened to walk in right when an employee (older woman with gray hair) was dragging a 3-5 year old boy by his neck and arm, yelling at him all the way down the hallway while he was screaming. She was using so much force the child's feet were actually off the ground and his face was bright red. I will never forget the look of terror in that boy's face and I wish I had stopped her but instead I turned around and ran out, then walked back in to talk to the director. I asked her to notify the parents and she said she would, but she was unwilling to fire the employee. She said the employee was having issues in her personal life, and she told her to go home for the day. I do not feel this was an adequate solution to what I witnessed and my heart goes out to that poor boy. I hope his parents are notified and able to do more than I could.
