It's a lot larger inside than it looks from the outside. There are so many different options for children to play on including video games. The pizza was actually pretty good. Every employee there was smiling and super happy. I don't know how they do it because being around that many screaming, running, excited, energetic kids for hours on end would drive me crazy. Every employee was extremely helpful and courteous and very patient with all those children running around. The bathrooms were clean. The snack area was clean. They cleaned the tables off as soon as people left. I attended a birthday party and the birthday room was the perfect size. Our party room attendant was a super sweetest young man. He was so patient with everyone and did not seem annoyed by all of the screaming and excited kids running in his way while he was doing his job. He brought us everything we asked for with a smile. They are extremely organized. I love the colored wristband method. A child did get hurt while we were there and the employees rushed to help her. They were organized, they weren't frantic or freaking out at all. They had clear communication with each other. Because they were so organized and professional it kept the parents from freaking out and they kept the child relaxed until the ambulance arrived. You could totally tell this was not their first rodeo. Before I got there, I was wondering, would it smell strange because of all the little kids and the sweat, it being an enclosed building and the no shoe thing, but to my surprise, it smelled clean, I didn't see any trash anywhere you can definitely tell that they take pride in this business.

My socks were black on the bottom when we left and all I did was one light walking around to follow my daughter. I definitely wouldn't let my crawling baby anywhere near that floor. And the toys were everywhere. It was like a bomb had gone off.

It was $18 and would totally be worth it if they did a better job deep cleaning and maintaining throughout the day.

They have a great size space to keep an eye on your little one easily. My little one had a blast playing with everything for 2-3 hours. They have snack drink area and also sell some items if you need something to eat/drink. They are sock so ensure you bring some, if not you can purchase some for $3! They had two restrooms and everything was mostly when we arrived on Sunday morning. They can host parties as well. Con: a lot of the small toys should be replaced like play food, blocks, and the small shelf that have some misc electric toys. Tables were sticky from constant use of wiping and cleaning.

We had to figure it out on our own. Started with the start. We went to the back the back and weren't told that you start from the front end where the arcade is. The back is more towards the end of the game. FYI. From there it was on! Set up "spooky." I think it's just cute. A lot of things going off here and there. It's definitely something different and a fun little set up. They have little spinners you can do to make the game more fun and interesting also. You can play as many times as you want. Just go get another ball and they react to the black light. Easy to find. Pretty cool. Just s cute little set up. Definitely not as fun as it got busier. The second round it got very busy. We skipped through. The first round was good. Before it really picked up. Good service, like I said, wish there was more direction, but it worked out.

Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership.

This is such a fun place for kids! Admission is $19 per child for unlimited play all day; there's…read moreno time limit. You can even leave, grab lunch, and come back later to keep playing. They open at 10:00, so it's perfect to bring your kid, play, then go eat. Keep in mind, outside food isn't allowed, but they do have food available for purchase if you'd rather eat there. Be sure to bring socks! Both kids and adults need to wear regular socks (grippy socks aren't required). The play area is huge, with plenty of space for kids to explore and burn off energy. There are also lots of tables and seating for parents to relax and watch their kids. The bathrooms were clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Even though they're surrounded by excited, noisy kids all day, everyone we interacted with was kind, patient, and happy to help.

I used to come as a child, and this place has come a long ways since then. There are a dozen or more little exhibits of childhood nursery rhymes (such as Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and Jill), each has a box you can put a key in (mine from my childhood still worked) and hear the story in English or Spanish. All of the boxes we tried worked. Some of the exhibits are just things you look at, some include things like slides or other things for kids to play on. There's also a castle and a pirate ship (one of the new exhibits). There's a train, which costs extra and is ok, but they need to clean up the area it goes through, it could be a lot nicer. There's also a small snack bar. All in all, this is a really great place to bring kids under about 7. It was not busy at all the day we were there, which surprised me because our kids had so much fun!

You have to sign a waiver before entrance. For a total of 5 jumpers I paid about $75 which is not too bad unlike other places. Grip socks are also required. They do allow from other establishments like no surrender. If not, I think socks are $4 there. No food or drinks are allowed around the play and trampoline areas. There is a food court area but honestly it's not worth it. Eat before you go! There's a bunch of activities it's like a kids dream from trampolines, foam pits, imagination play areas like grocery, fire station, beauty parlor and more. There's also arcade games too! You can do birthday parties here as well! Definitely I'll be back again!

They charge $20 for even a baby which I was surprised. I heard it was cheaper to book through Groupon but only difference you get a free hot dog and drink with regular purchase. They also required us to have the grip socks. It had to be their type of socks not our own which I was a little annoyed about. The place was huge. I heard they renovated. They had a giant kids area with tons of toys, costumes, and doll houses to play with. The kids zone even had their own obstacle course and three big slides and a ball pit. They also have private room for birthday parties or events. The regular trampoline area was big and had so many trampolines. Some spots were even flat ground. They had a couple basketball hoops which was fun to play at. There was a regular obstacle course with rock climbing, spinning on ropes, and etc. There was a few massage chairs for use but you had to pay to use it. We wanted to get our free hot dogs around 7pm but it was strange they closed the cafe area super early when the place opens till 9pm. An employee still helped us and gave us our food and drinks but we were not. allowed to inside the cafe. We ended up eating at tables around the trampoline. They had an arcade and toy prize area but no one was working there. Lastly, there was a giant foam pit which was really hard to get out in my opinion. Overall, it was a fun place to go for kids and adults but expect to get really tired and hot.

did not expect to be as into this as I am but Good Dirt Pottery Studio has become my favorite thing…read moreI've discovered this year. went with a friend on a whim for a wheel throwing class and we were both completely hooked by the end of it. the instructor was patient and encouraging without making you feel like you were being babysat. there's something genuinely meditative about having your hands in clay for two hours and walking away with something you actually made. the studio itself is beautiful. bright, clean, thoughtfully designed. it photographs really well but it also just feels good to be in, which matters when you're trying to be creative. they do classes, open studio time, summer camps for kids, memberships if you want to go regularly. the options make it accessible whether you want to try it once or actually commit to learning the craft. Bullard Ave location is easy, parking is fine, and the staff is genuinely warm every time I've been in. Fresno honestly needed a place like this. somewhere to go that isn't a restaurant or a bar, that's actually good for your brain, and that you leave feeling proud of yourself. Good Dirt is that place. already signed up to go back.

We recently visited Good Dirt Pottery for the first time last month because my son wanted to paint…read morea ceramic piece, and we had a great experience overall! They offer both ceramic painting and pottery-making classes, and I'd love to return to try a pottery class. The only downside is that classes aren't on weekends and are held on weekday evenings for a few hours, which can be a bit hard to fit into our schedule. They had a nice variety of pieces to choose from. There's a $10 studio fee per painter plus the cost of the item. You pay for your piece first, then select colors and follow their painting instructions. My husband joined me and my son he didn't paint so was not charged a fee. The studio is about a 25-30 minute drive from Clovis, so it was a bit of a drive, but worth it for a fun, different activity together. I didn't realize beforehand that painted ceramics typically take about six weeks to be ready, though it makes sense since they also fire pottery and may have limited kiln space. Ours were actually ready in about three weeks, which was a great turnaround. Pickup was easy--they quickly located our items on a rack using the name slip attached. They didn't have the items wrapped either. One small thing I wish I had known is that they write your name and the date on the bottom of the finished piece. The ceramic I painted was a gift for my son, so I would have preferred not to have my name on it. If I had known, I would have asked about other options. Overall, the staff member who helped us choose our piece and paint colors was very friendly and helpful, making our first visit enjoyable. We'll definitely be back--especially to try one of their pottery classes!

This used to be our favorite zoo, but our recent visit was by far the worst experience we've had…read more We arrived at 2 PM, thinking our family of four could enjoy everything in two hours, only to find out they were closing early (at 3 PM) for a sold-out ice cream event starting at 5 PM. They no longer participate in the Museums for All program, which was a fantastic way to promote inclusion. Now, they offer a "Wednesday Welcome Days" program allowing adults with a valid ID and a WIC or EBT card to purchase up to four $5 general admission tickets on Wednesdays. This move feels exclusionary, as it limits access for lower-income families to just one day a week--who can take time off work or school to visit? Where's the every day equity? To make matters worse, they don't offer any discount for closing early when we had only an hour left. We paid $99.80 to enter (for 2 adults, a 4-year-old, and a 2-year-old). Additionally, we spent $18.00 for three of us to feed giraffes and $24.00 for the Zoorassic Park experience, which forced us to buy the butterflies package too. We even paid $10 to feed the stingrays, only to be told they were out of food after we had already paid. In total, we wasted $151.80 for just an hour of lackluster fun. Honestly, I'd rather pay a little more for a day at Disneyland--where kids' tickets are only $50 (recent promotion). This place is overcharging and seriously lacking consideration for families. We won't be returning to Fresno Chaffee Zoo.

I'll be honest, I used to really like this place I would bring my daughter all the time when I…read morelived close. However there's several things that have always bothered me about it and have unfortunately not improved over the years: 1) cleanliness- the restroom, including the changing table are always dirty. Like, really dirty. I even chose to change my daughter in her stroller today over the changing table cause it was filthy & hot in there. I also had to ask the worker to please refill the soap dispensers because the only two they had anywhere were empty .. gross. The paper towel dispensers were also empty. 2) lazy staff- all they do is sit there on their phones! As I mentioned, I did have to ask to have the soap refilled and she did it. But there were many other things she could've been tending to instead of sitting on her phone for the 2 hrs I was there like clean the restroom, or sanitize some toys, tidy literally anything! I understand there's kids playing and a mess will be made again but come on .. the painting area needed refilling, the paint containers were near empty and the paper for the area as well. Keep things stocked so they're actually be able to be enjoyed. Why can't the staff stay on top of these things ? & the thing is, it's been like this EVERYTIME I've come .. that's pretty sad. It was also pretty hot in there since it's summer but the worker couldn't even bother to turn on the fans.. these may seem like little things but they definitely add up. Especially with little ones. We shouldn't have to keep bothering the staff to ask them to do their jobs /: I really like the concept of this place but they should invest in staff that takes more initiative and definitely work on cleanliness!
