Slime Kitchen is a cool one and done experience for most, but maybe a staple activity for some…read more.. We visited the Slime Kitchen Reno with our two boys on a weekday. It wasn't busy and the two young girls working greeted us quickly and got us started on some slime making. The experience itself is really cool. It lasts quite awhile and there are tons of steps from texture to aroma to colors. Every step involves some level of decision making so if you have a really little one, like I do, it's definitely best to accompany them through the whole thing. A grade school aged kid could mostly do everything on their own. After choosing some texture, color, smells, and mixing, you can play with your slime for as long as you'd like. Then you can do your mix ins and package it up. The cost is the toughest thing to stomach about this place. It's $25 to make a slime, so for my two kids and taxes, it was nearly $60 to make something that will likely eventually have to be thrown away. The prices on the retail slimes that you could buy and make at home seemed much more reasonable- around $15. I loved this for my kids- but just this once. I think it would have to be a special occasion to come back and do it again. I could see myself picking up a retail slime for a gift. If you don't mind the $25 price tag, this could be a staple experience for you! Still 5 stars in my book.

After having ice cream at Cold Stone, my kid wanted to go to Slime Kitchen which was just across…read morethe parking lot. We walked inside and the place was packed. We were greeted as we walked in. It appeared they were very busy but they helped us pretty quick. The lady explained to us how everything works and what to pick. My kid put on an apron an he started picking out the type of slime and color he wanted. He even got to pick out the scent. After the mixer, he got to add more things in his slime and mix it around himself. He had fun making slime. The slime is a little on the pricey side I thought but, my kid had fun and the people there were very helpful.

The food was surprisingly good. I tried the chicken wings with their hottest sauce and couldn't stop licking my fingers. They were perfectly crispy and came with a nice side of fries and healthy veggies to dunk in the ranch. The sauce was balanced with a good punch of vinegar and a nice kick of heat and the service team really knew the menu well so they helped guide us to some great selections. The mini golf being themed around our city was a fun time too, and I loved the addition of the Joker, which makes each whole play a little different and the game of mini golf a whole lot more interactive. I loved how it would encourage. Encouraged you to connect with the people you're playing with talk to them and strategize around how to leverage these advantages to help you win. Now the darts was a big surprise. This fancy tech driven dartboard that they have includes a bunch of super fun games that make darts approachable for any person. I'm not a Dart player. Maybe I've thrown one a few times but the variety of games they offer made it super fun. We crashed castles and spaceship ships and played team games in individual games in the our past and all of us were like oh no is it over? Seriously, put Birdeez on your radar for a good time. You won't be disappointed.

I have been lucky enough to have my three year old attend classes and open gym times there and have been nothing but impressed with the owners, staff and atmosphere within the space. Having a bit of a wild child really has made me appreciate Tumbles even more. They are stern but patient with instruction and the activities they put the kids through are perfect for their age and really help them with coordination and learning how to use their bodies. They have a wide variety of class types that should fit with any type of child as they grow and develop. The space itself is also very clean, well cared for and constantly being wiped down and cleaned to make sure it is safe from germs. I highly recommend Tumbles to any parent looking for a space their kid to move around somewhere beyond the house.

It covers so many Next Gen standards, and my students absolutely loved it. One of my sixth grade boys upon entering the ship through the air lock announced "This is the most awesome field trip ever!" IMPORTANT NOTE: This program isn't just for elementary middle school kids. High school and college kids come to experience as well as private adult groups. We are so lucky to have the Challenger Learning Center in our area. There are a few throughout the country carrying on the mission of space exploration that both the Challenger and Columbia crews lost their lives fulfilling. It totally is an inspiration to our next generation of astronaunts. They have a facebook page NevadaChallenger. They share all of the community events and have a large display at the Harrah's Automobile Museum.

Paul and Jenny McFarlane in spaceman blue jumpsuits gave each arrival a warm greeting and split up the touring and questions (even knowing quite a bit of misc questions like solar sunrises and astronaut training -having been to actual space camps) with other workers in blue uniform-shirts/vests. We came due to a pre-opening tour and special film announced on a school flier. (I'm very tempted to recruit my own group of 20+/- friends to run a mission with!!) They have mainly been focused on educational programs through schools with their portable dome or trailer, but with this location can offer an even broader offering of space experiences! Took a bit to find: Located at the Sparks High School campus in (one of many brick buildings) building N7 (look on the doors) on the back/East side of campus. Closest parking is if you park near or under the solar panels next to the modular buildings. They have a banner above their entry door with a side-rear view of the football stadium. Inside: The small foyer has stairs leading up to a classroom area and a short hallway before turning the corner into the "Mission Command station" area (lots of computer terminals that simulate the real space station control you see in movies). A connecting room is where the "Space station" is that has various areas like med bay, air lock/containment, pilot control, etc. There is also a mobile unit (I saw it at the Balloon Races last year) that hosts feature presentations including interactive flight/air races/ space trips (and more I'm sure). I also spied two techy 'Easter eggs' like a Star Trek intercomm (that makes true-to-series sounds) and Hal 9000-like A.I. unit (which I'm told interacts like Siri). A back open multi-purpose area with folding chairs and tables is where they showed a Nasa feature film (not Imax, go to the theater or planetarium if want that show) on a big screen TV and did a small Q&A session. It also has a spacesuit stand-in for kicks and picture posterity. There is only one unisex old-school (literally) bathroom complete with flashing flourescent light (it's the type you have to turn it off then on again to get it to stop but we all know it's not worth the effort and you could be done and out by the time get it right). While not the newest or high-techist looking place they did a great deal under a tight opening budget and I am excited to have a program like this here! Highly endorse!! Various classes and modules can be found on their website.

There is a limit for free sign-ups (day pass) after the limit, it's a discounted price. Stop by on a free climb night check and see if rockclibing is a sport you want to pursue!

She has also done a day camp prior and that was a great experience from a parent perspective. She overall had fun but was nervous since it was a new sport. I have used the exercise equipment as well, which is good but it can be busy because the focus are the climbing walls with the supplement. They offer group classes as well. I have not done them yet, but my plan is to do some of the Yoga. I like that they are community inclusive. There are different nights at the gym and there have been events where there are local vendors showcasing their products.

It has been years since I've done any climbing (over 10) and I had a friend that really wanted to…read moretry it out. So I looked up their beginner's class and booked us an hour long session online. I was also able to fill out the waiver online and confirmes it via email, as well. When you arrive you sign in at the desk and they provide you with climbing shoes if you need them. Our instructor did a great job of showing us around the facility before jumping right into the lesson. We started by warming up and then practicing some light falls before jumping into different techniques for bouldering in the starting room (also known as the children's room). Next, we went out to the main room and chose some beginners routes to climb. Finally, we finished by getting our harnesses on (also provided if needed) and clipping into the autobelay devices on the full climbing wall outside. After our lesson concluded and she gave us pointers to work on, our instructor let us know we had a day pass and could stay as long as we wanted since we paid for the class. She also let us know that they have monthly events like ladies night and DJ night that can be booked online or via phone call. They're limiting numbers right now and you can't climb with regular belays unless you've passed their tests and bring your own rope (since they can't be sanitized) but if you're looking for a great free climbing gym or climbing via autobelay routes, this is the place! I may invest in a membership one of these days, especially since they offer a student discount!

I think we just have really good setters who understand the flow of the climb. Community night is on Tuesday and you meet tons of like-minded climbers there!
