    Just leaving a great birthday party experience at KidStrong West End. The facility itself was very cool and the staff were all fabulous, from booking to party time. We celebrated my son's 6th birthday with about 10 of his friends. The kids were so engaged and used up A LOT of energy. I also loved their emphasis on confidence, and how the coaches shook each kids' hand and encouraged them to use eye contact and introduce themselves. I'm kicking myself that I can't remember the young lady, but both she and Coach Terry were really incredible. As a former early childhood educator, I'm always really interested to see how people work with groups of kids - it didn't surprise me at all that Coach Terry is an EC educator! Great experience; I'd for sure recommend for birthday parties and we plan to come back to try their classes as well. Thank you!!!

    A really neat place, especially on a hot summer day…read more Well, this was our first visit to Kids Empire. However, my 5 and 3-year-old grandsons were pros. They played here earlier in the year with their parents. Today was a blazing hot day, and we wanted to have a nice day with the boys, so we chose to come here. The place is really neat. Large jungle gym type thing that kept my boys running for a full two hours. I mean running nearly nonstop. Now I will say parents/guardians need to watch their rug rats. On this contraption, there are a couple of areas where a kid could get hurt. But you kinda have to know your kid and have the ability to say "Don't you dare." But overall a safe playtime. As for the location: one small challenge is that the door and the counter are close. Which means it can be tight in that area as folks pay, take off their shoes, sign their waivers, and attempt to wrangle their herd. They give you containers for shoes and there are a few combination lockers available. No charge. There are tons of tables and chairs and I saw several birthday parties going on. There is some food offering here but not a meal. I don't think I'd plan on eating lunch here. There are plenty of sugar boost items though, candy and ice cream. Prices weren't that bad. Now not really the fault of the management but some kids are nuts (lol) and sadly some caregivers are not watching their borderline feral children. So again watch yours. With this said, I was shocked not to see staff (like a lifeguard at the beach) attempting to watch over the place. The location seemed clean, despite the 150 kids running around. So again: nice indoor play place, not many decent food options(no outside food allowed), watch your kids, and have a great time. I'm confident we will be back.

    Was here this past Thursday, July 2nd. My granddaughter (9) and grandson (5) were riding the…read moremotorcycles. Older, UNSUPERIVSED boys were intimidating them and other younger children. These boys did NOT pay for this ride and felt they could push motorcycles around and jump on the back of other children's motorcycles. NO ONE from Kids Empire supervised or monitored this area. Although I asked these boys to leave my grandchildren alone, they persisted. My granddaughter's motorcycle was pushed against a wall and her foot was pinned between a metal bar and the motorcycle. She was unable to put weight on her foot; took her to urgent care and for x-rays. Nothing broken, but on crutches. Unless you want to supervise your children and other children, this place is a free-for-all and accidents waiting to happen.

    My son's did a workshop here and they could not have loved it more! My boys are 5 and very active,…read moreso I was concerned about how they would be able to sit through a session, but the chef held their attention the entire time. This was over a week ago and they are still raving about it. Also the food that they made was delicious and it inspired them to eat vegetables! We will definitely be back.

    We took the kids there on Friday. Sometimes they have free classes for kids where they teach them a…read morefew cooking skills and give them free samples of food. Such a great idea. Get them involved in cooking young so they can help in the kitchen later. Anyhow they made cinnamon and sugar dog shaped bones (for ppl not made for dogs). They gathered flour in a cup. Idk u gwt a huge cupful thats overflowing and to tap it three times to get air pockets out and then go across it with a knife or something similar to get rid of extra flour and get a nice evening cup of flour. They loved that and my 4 year old ended up with flour all over her pants. SHE REALLY GOT INTO IT. LOL. Then to complete the dog biscuits they rolled dough, pressed the dog shaped biscuit cookie cutter into the dough and added a few swipes of butter to coat it and added a pinch of cinnamon and sugar and since its just a,short class, they let them try samples of them they had already baked. Next station was strawberries with mascapone icing. They used a straw to push out the stem and then cut it in half and added icing. Oh man think that was the favorite station for all three of my kiddos. My 4 year old was like, "mmmm." Hehe. The other two kids inhaled it without much talking which means it was agreeable to their sometimes fussy pallets. You know how kids are if ur a parent or nanny. FUSSY. LOL. NEXT and final station was biscuit/croissant making. It was equivalent to making Pillsbury dough biscuits but way cooler. They told them ingredients used to make dough, played with flour and made a cup of flour again as before, rolled out dough again, rolled into a small crossaint, buttered it and added spices to it. If there has been time to make it they would have done something for 8 mins I think. Idk what temperature tho. They tried yet another sample. Seriously I can't rave about this place enough. Staff was amazing. The bakers/employees hired are professional to be on TV, super helpful and FUN. They have cooking classes for like $30/kid or $99 for monthly classes I think she said. Not sure of exactly details but that's what I gathered. Take your kids there, you won't regret it and your kids will love it!!!!

    Based off on sensory birthday party/day…read more This was the first time stepping back into a Chuck E Cheese since... forever. I've been a little hesitate to come here only because of my boys being special needs and it is definitely a spot where I remember being easily overwhelmed. We came here for the first time during sensory hour and it blew me away. Note - I've only been here once and it made a great impression on me. I will definitely be checking out their future sensory day opening to see if it can be our new sensory hour for each month. The staff were super friendly and really responsive. The place was clean from what I saw and the little kid's trips is just like what I remembered. I will admit, I was a little sad that everything's on a card. I can understand not having tokens anymore but damn did that remind me how old I was haha. Oh, had the pizza there and it was not bad at all! I can def see us ordering a pizza from there in the future. We will be back! Thank you!

The prices are fairly pricey for very low ticket to prize value. It was very crowded the day we visited due to summer camps being there. These children were running around, knocked my youngest over, no supervision but that is at no fault of the establishment. This location is lacking cleanliness. The bathrooms were horrid. Several machines were out of order during our visit. Sad it was a bust but our kiddos still seemed to enjoy it.
