Adj: Impressive, Informational, Innovative, and Incredibly Interesting!…read more Another visit to the RUEC, which is the Roseville Utility Exploration Center. It is located next to Martha Riley Library, one of 3 City of Roseville libraries and the newest one. The RUEC is pretty cool and admission is free. We like to come by every once in awhile because they have changing exhibits, but their permanent displays are informative and interesting too. As an environmentally minded person, I try to conserve, but how do you know what to do and what is worth your effort and what doesn't make much of a difference? The RUEC has quite a few exhibits on how to conserve energy, water, and how to minimize our impact on the planet including garbage disposal (that often end up in landfill more than anywhere else), recycling, being conscientious in our resource usage by setting our thermostats properly, cycling our ACs, replace or clean air filters regularly, install a programmable thermostat, and properly insulating and weatherizing your house down to HVAC ducts! There's even information on where our stormwater and runoffs go (which affect our fish and other wildlife), how much energy different specific kitchen appliances use, not putting grease/oil down the drain, vacuum the coils on our fridge 2x's a year to keep our fridges efficient, thinking about the temp and weather when considering what to cook (don't run your oven on hot days), installing energy efficient fixtures/bulbs, and only doing laundry and dishes with full loads so as to maximize efficient when washers and dishwashers. These are things many people don't know or haven't thought about. Overall, the RUEC does a great job at educating the community and especially kids on environmental and resource conservation and also provides info about how we can practically make a difference just by being more aware of how we use energy and other natural resources.

She was referred by a mutual friend , we got the large zoo which included goat/sheep/and what we thought was mini pig. The pig was Gemma who is advertised as the "kissing pig" , she was totally fine (definitely not mini) but my issue was with the girl assisting . She was the "gatekeeper" while Natacha did pony rides. This may needed to have changed as the girl allowing kids in to the "petting zoo" was an issue. Not friendly, very abrupt with the kids, I understand being a rule follower but she wasn't professional with asking the guests to abide by them. I went in with my daughter to pet the animals and literally as we approached Gemma she blurted out "don't touch her face, talk to her before touching her, don't scare her " , I am pretty respectful of animals and educate my kids but this was ridiculous .. my 4 year old literally stopped walking towards the pig and said "mom I don't want to hurt the pig" . My daughter wasn't even doing anything wrong and to jump at her was excessive. Guidance and education go a long way but to be snappy and scare kids to not pet animals at a petting zoo and for the price I paid! Honestly ruined the experience for me as she did. It get any friendlier or professional. The other parents didn't complain but also noticed the "unfriendly" vibe she gave .Thank goodness we paid extra for pony rides as this was the only real highlight of the party. Natacha was great making sure we got a family photo and let my son ( the bday boy) ride for long times when no other kid was in line. I do wish the petting area was bigger . With the assistant 4 animals and an adult with each kid ( 91 adult per kid ) in the pen it was very tight fitting. No two adults and kids could be in there at once . Overall cute idea. Glad I had a bounce house and numerous other activities for the kids as this wouldn't have been enough. Again I hate to leave less than perfect reviews but looking back at the prep and pay for this was my push to leave an honest review .

The large bounce house section also caught the kids' attention and they spent a lot of time there. A few things could be improved though. The cleanliness was questionable. The hand sanitizer stations were empty and the bathrooms were pretty gross. With this many kids running around, those areas should really be kept up better. The biggest issue was the pizza for the party. We were not told we needed to request a different cut to make more slices for the kids. The pizza came out in large slices that could feed two kids each, but there were not enough slices for the number of children at the table. If the host had mentioned the party cut option, it would have made feeding everyone much easier. Overall the kids still had fun because there is a lot to do here, but better communication and better cleanliness would improve the experience

Right away they had a cart with my daughter's name so that guests could place the gifts and their shoes. The host also took our cupcakes, goody bags, and party decorations so that they could set up in the party room. Our birthday package included 70 minutes in the Space World and Candy Land Playground which all the kids loved! Afterwards the host called my daughter's name through a megaphone and asked all guests to head over to the party room. Party room was 50 minutes. Our party package included 1 X-Large Cheese and 1 X-Large Pepperoni pizza with 15 juice pouches. We ordered one additional pepperoni pizza and a 2 Liter Dr.Pepper for a reasonable price! They use Pizza Guys as their pizza vendor, which we've tried before and love! Party room was so organized with everything we've brought and the host made sure to hand sanitize everyone's hands. He served the pizza with gloves and the service from him was fantastic! Afterwards he served our cupcakes and goody bags! My daughter opened up all her gifts and towards the end of the party we still had about 10 minutes left so the kids were able to play a bit more. Host also puts all of your left over decorations, food, drinks, gifts into the cart so that you can take it outside to load back into the car. Highly recommend having a birthday party here! Host does everything so that parents have time to speak to everyone, host was very organized and helpful, kids had a blast playing, and host cleans up everything afterwards! My daughter loved her birthday party at Wacky Tacky and said it was the best birthday party! Thank You Wacky Tacky, we will be back! :)

You only get 10 minutes before the room to set up so luckily we had all the balloons blown up and just had to put it together. No outside food except for cake or cupcakes. They use pizza guys which was good! The kids get 1 hour of play and 1 hour in the party room. My daughter likes to play here and we bring her here occasionally and she always has a ton of fun

It was wonderful to see them so engaged, active, and having so much fun. One of the things I appreciated most was the enclosed Kids Zone. As a teacher, it gave me peace of mind knowing the children could play safely while still enjoying plenty of freedom to explore. There was also a nice covered area for parents and chaperones to relax, as well as a great space for eating and gathering as a group. This was our second year visiting, and it was just as fantastic as the first. The staff and facilities made our field trip easy and enjoyable from start to finish. We will definitely be back again next year! Highly recommend for school groups and families alike!

I really wanted to enjoy my visit to Quarry Park Adventures because the park itself is unique and…read morehas a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by poor staffing and customer service. The biggest issue was the wait time. We waited over 45 minutes just for the zip line, which is unacceptable considering the price of admission. It was obvious the park was understaffed, and the lack of organization created long delays throughout the day. If you're only planning to do a few activities, I don't think you'll get your money's worth. The only way this place makes financial sense is if you're spending the entire day there. What made the experience even worse was the attitude of some of the staff. Instead of being friendly and helpful, several employees came across as short-tempered, rude, and irritated whenever guests had questions. Customer service is a huge part of any attraction, and it felt like some staff members didn't want to be there at all. The park itself is a cool concept and the quarry setting is impressive, but management seriously needs to address the staffing shortages and customer service issues. Paying premium prices only to spend a large portion of the day standing in line and dealing with unfriendly employees left a very disappointing impression. I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

We have been to Glittery Slime Parlour a couple of times and always leave satisfied…read more It was my daughter's birthday this past weekend and one of her requests was to make her own slime. We arrived around 11am and there weren't a lot of people, my daughter and niece picked out a slime texture, scent, color and add-ins. I think I ended up paying like $50 for 2 slimes. They offer different price points, but $20 or $25 is the cheapest. Once they were done building their slimes, we sat at a table so they could mix and play with them for a bit. I like that they have tables so you don't feel like you're being rushed out after your purchase. I don't believe there is a time limit which is nice too and they do offer reservations for larger groups and parties. Overall, if your kid is addicted to slime, this is a cool activity to check out! I'm sure we'll be back again!

They do have a sandbox area as well--while sand isn't our personal favorite, I know it's a huge hit for many kids and adds another fun option for play. Overall, this park is clean, convenient, and ideal for younger children. Definitely a go-to spot for toddler playtime!
