She definitely enjoyed herself and there was a lot to do there to keep her company. The price was about $14 and included two adults for free. The place appeared clean.

Our party hostess (when I asked) said we could take the extra opened paper goods. They were packed in my personal box unwrapped. The staff went into our personal box & removed the items. When asked, the woman in charge stated we were not able to take them as it was their property. It appears that they will be reusing these Winnie the Pooh paper items. We spent approximately $700, tipped our party hostess to be treated like thieves by going through our personal items to "see" what we took.

She made it easy to plan since I am a bit OC. I plan things to be perfect. Some people who do not understand that, may get frustrated when you want to do things a certain way, but Rowena understood, accommodated my needs and helped me set up the afternoon before the party. You can leave set up to them which is what most usually do and just drop off your decor. You can tell she's passionate about her business. Her staff on that day was very helpful as well! The kids had a lot of fun!!! The kids age range were 1-5 years old and they loved it! Thank you Rowena & Kids Play Gallery for being the tiny town in our area & for hosting an awesome event! Totally recommend having your child's birthday party here & coming if you just need a place for them to run around, play and enjoy!

I remember the buffalo wings being a top seller there and ppl really wouldnt even indulge in the entrees as much as they did the appetizers. But I was in the area spending time with the little ones, so I decided Friday's couldn't be so bad- especially for kids! One of them didn't even ordered from the kids menu because she said it's not good lol. Idk, I guess because it's etched in stone and not going anywhere, anytime soon, they don't feel the need to put some integrity in the food. .my salmon was Overcooked, Very under portioned, broccoli was not fresh before it was cooked, mashed potatoes came out like ice cream from a scooper. The food didn't taste bad but it also wasn't much to consider. The server was pretty sweet, she was doing her best. I did make a complaint about my meal and she spoke to the manager who corrected it by sending out another salmon entree, cooked perfectly and with seasoning!!!! And I wasn't charged. All in all, the kids made due as well but I can't say that I'd go back. I wish restaurants like thus would care more.

We recently visited Playseum for a playdate, and overall, it was a really fun experience! Located…read moreinside the Columbia Mall, it's filled with imaginative play stations that kept the kids entertained for hours. There are themed areas like a café, Italian restaurant, veterinary office, beauty salon, barbershop, grandma's house, and even a stage where kids can dress up and put on a play. If your child enjoys pretend play, this is definitely a great spot. I also appreciated that it encourages creativity instead of screen time. It's refreshing to see a place where kids can use their imaginations and just be kids. The only thing I didn't love was the pricing. Admission is $15 per person, including adults. I understand their explanation that they want parents to participate with their children, but in reality, many parents are simply supervising. Other similar indoor play spaces only charge for the children, or at least offer a reduced admission for adults. That pricing model would have made more sense to me. They also offer several add-on activities like decorating cupcakes, making slime, decorating cookies, baking, and even an animal encounter at the top of each hour. They're all cute options, but they do cost extra, so be prepared for the visit to add up if your child wants to do multiple activities. The animal encounter was fairly small, with just a few animals, but younger kids will probably still enjoy it. There is seating available for parents, although it can be limited since so much of the space is dedicated to the different play stations. Overall, the kids had a blast, the facility was clean, and there was plenty to keep them engaged. While I wish the adult admission and extra activity pricing were a little more family-friendly, I'd still recommend Playseum for a fun afternoon of imaginative play. We'll definitely consider coming back.

Would I recommend this establishment...absolutely! Can't wait to go back!…read more I found this place by searching for play activities near Columbia mall. I had never been here and wasnt sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. Location: Inside the mall, on the first floor, right outside the Nordstroms. Easy to find. Cost: Worth the entrance fee, both child and adults have to pay. Fair price. There are also take home activities and play that cost extra, such as slime, treat making, soap making, and more. These extra activities are also fairly priced and and so much fun. The entrance fee to the Kids Playseum allowed you access to the establishment nextdoor, Playseum upstairs. They also have playseum bucks as well. Staff: Super nice, helpful, experienced and attentive staff. Everyone one we interacted with for our time there was fabulous. We were able to go to both the Be with me playseum and the playseum upstairs. Cleanliness: The kept a tight shop. The toys and amenities were well kept, organized, clean and in good condition. Options: There were so many rooms to play in, so many cute toys, books, dress up and imagination play. My favorite was the ice bucket where the fish were kept in the Safeway. Super cute! The girls loved playing here and definitely want to come back. Overall wonderful experience!

They charge for additional adults accompanying your little one which was different from other indoor playgrounds that just cared about the number of littles. It seemed decently clean.

Meland Playground is okay...solid 3 stars only because my kids love it. It's a decent place for…read morekids to burn energy, but it definitely gets packed on weekends, which makes it chaotic. Kids running everywhere and parents not watching their kids, seriously the most overstimulating place. It's a kid place so its definitely not the cleanest place and one annoying thing: everyone dumps their jackets and stuff on the front tables instead of actually using the designated area, so there's nowhere to sit or organize your things. I mean it'd be nice to actually use the tables to eat the pizza you're ordering there. Not terrible, not amazing. Fine for a quick play session, and getting the kids out the house. Bring headphones to drown out the noise (depending on how old your kids are).

Love this place for my littles! We've visited Billy Beez Manassas Mall twice this year alone, and…read moreboth times were on weekdays. I honestly think that is the BEST time to go! I took my little ones for their actual birthdays, but we didn't do a birthday party package...just came for a fun birthday outing. My 9-year-old enjoys it just as much as the littles, so it's definitely a great spot when you have kids with different ages and interests. The biggest plus for me? During the week, it hasn't been crowded at all. My kids pretty much had the place to themselves! No fighting through a bunch of people, no waiting forever for activities, and plenty of room for them to run, climb, jump, and play. There is SO much to do, slides, trampolines, play areas for the littles, themed pretend-play spaces like the schoolhouse and other little town areas, plus lots of tunnels and places to explore. They also have a café when the kids need a snack break and a small arcade, although arcade credits are separate. Pricing is pretty reasonable for how much entertainment the kids get. According to their website, admission is currently $17.95 for children ages 4-17, $14.95 for toddlers ages 1-3, and the first adult is $4.95. Just remember that Billy Beez socks are required! If you're looking for somewhere indoors where your kids can burn off ALL that energy, I definitely recommend Billy Beez. Especially on a weekday....you may feel like you rented the whole place out without actually renting the whole place out We'll definitely be back!

I most recently ordered the Impossible Burger (which I've ordered before) and it was *not* good. * The big TV running what looks like a looped investor presentation, which is weird and distracting.

No one was at the entrance. Literally no one. Kids could have walked right out and started new lives lol. My niece had a reserved table, which came with pizza and soda for six people. Sounds decent, right? But any extra food had to be bought separately. My daughter and I got one pizza, breadsticks, and a drink, and the bill came to $40. For that price, I expected soda to be served from a machine, not poured out of a 2-liter bottle by an employee sitting at a table like it was a backyard BBQ. The restrooms were also not to standard. And the old look and feel or "fun" is no more. And don't even ask about the legendary ball pit -- it's gone. Vanished. Replaced with a trampoline area that costs an extra $5 per kid. Basically, your child can bounce, but only if your wallet is ready to bounce too. The games?... not as fun as they use to be. The pizza? A far cry from what I remember... I used to love Chuck E Cheese pizza lol. Parents and caregivers, if you're hoping for a blast of childhood nostalgia, maybe just rent a bounce house and order in. It'll be cheaper, and your soda will come from an actual fridge.
