Amazing place! Great experience, expert instruction, and highly skilled teachers. Great gift! Addictive! Hot metal, knives and swords, and a power hammer! What's not to love? I purchased a two day class (making a Seax/Bowie Knife) as a Christmas present for my husband. We drove up from the Boulder area just for this. I have seldom seen my husband so happy- every time I stopped by and peeked in, he had the biggest smile on his face! I cannot recommend this place highly enough! First timers should have no fear- the minute we walked through the door, we were greeted by Ron and Jessica Hardman (of Forged and Fire fame). They were very welcoming, approachable, and enthusiastic. Great vibe! This is a great space- in addition to an amazing workshop full of high end tools and equipment, they also have a great living room style waiting area, with a kitchenette (refrigerator to store lunch), where you can look through a glass window and watch the action and some beautiful examples of work. There were students enrolled with varying levels of experience, and the instructors did a great job of differentiating instruction among the participants so that everyone had a great experience. They are not only expert craftspeople, but also really great teachers! My husband had some prior experience, but still learned TONS, improved his skills, and came back with a great looking knife (that he felt proud of) and the desire to go back again soon! And he got to use the power hammer! Forging is a great inter-generational and family activity! This would be an awesome activity for parents who are looking for a way to spend some quality time reconnecting with their adolescent child (or for a grown man to spend some quality time with their father). They also offer classes for adolescents- there were lots of young men there working and having a great time. The environment and instruction was great. The price was extremely reasonable. This is a great gift- especially for husbands and boys! This is a great place to learn a new hobby, develop your skills, or perfect your craft, with offerings appropriate for every level of ability. My husband will definitely be back! He immediately came home and ordered more steel!

On day one, they made the tools that they were going to use, then they started in on the forging.

Fun place for kids age 7 to 14. We had a birthday party here and everyone had a great time, and…read morebest of all the cleanup was super easy.

It took me a little time to process what happened this past Sunday before writing this review…read more I want to start by saying Tanner, the young man who worked our party, absolutely made the day. He was incredibly helpful with the kids, repeatedly apologized for everything happening (even though none of it was his fault), and remained kind, attentive, and professional the entire time. Tanner is the ONLY reason we managed to have any sort of birthday party at all. We booked the Ultimate Birthday Party package for my son's 7th birthday from 2-4 PM and also added the pizza and drinks package. The day before, I called to confirm everything, including our food order: 2 cheese pizzas, 2 pepperoni pizzas, Sprite, and lemonade for 12 kids. I arrived around 1:35 PM expecting a busy Sunday crowd. When I checked in, I was immediately told our party room would not be available until 3:15 PM -- despite our party being scheduled from 2-4 PM. That meant we would only have the room for the last 45 minutes. I was shocked. The employee at the front desk was kind and explained the manager had overbooked parties. Meanwhile, I was left standing in a packed lobby with decorations, cake, plates, and favor bags with nowhere to set anything up. I eventually asked to speak with the manager. After waiting about 15 minutes, he came over with absolutely no sense of urgency. He was dismissive, condescending, and repeatedly told me the room timing was listed in the "fine print" of the emails. Maybe technically it was, but it's honestly ridiculous to advertise birthday parties without guaranteeing space for the actual party. After offering no real solution, he simply walked away. As guests arrived, Tanner took the kids onto the obstacle course while I grabbed a couple of lobby tables to hold gifts and belongings. Thankfully, because of Tanner, the kids still had fun and had no idea what was happening behind the scenes. We finally got access to the party room around 3:30 PM, leaving only 30 minutes in our reservation, and there was still no pizza. Tanner helped us rush decorations up while the kids were already hungry and thirsty. When I asked about the pizzas, Tanner checked with the manager and came back saying they claimed I never ordered them. That was completely false. I would never host a party for 12 children without food. Tanner apologized again and later informed me they had "just ordered" the pizzas -- at 3:45 PM, with the party ending at 4. The kids were hungry, drinks were running low, and there was still no food. I asked for more time in the room, and once again Tanner had to speak with the manager himself. We were eventually allowed to stay until 4:30 PM and the pizzas were comped. Unfortunately, by then most parents were already preparing to leave because the party was supposed to end at 4. I rushed to cut the cake so the kids could at least sing Happy Birthday and eat something. The pizzas finally arrived at 4:10 PM when only three kids remained. To their credit, they comped the pizzas and gave us free gym-time coupons. I appreciate that gesture, but after the way the manager handled everything, I will never return. I'm honestly shocked I still paid $329 for this experience. The reason I'm writing this review is to warn other parents. Birthday parties are expensive, and your hard-earned money should go to a business that values its customers and knows how to properly manage events. During the entire three hours we were there, the manager never once apologized. The only staff members who showed professionalism or empathy were the younger employees -- especially Tanner. They are lucky to have him. As a business owner myself, I can confidently say the current manager will drive this business into the ground. He was dismissive, incompetent, condescending, and rude from start to finish. Save yourself the stress and book your child's birthday somewhere else.

I went here a while back, but oh boy it was really fun! I…read moream autistic and I've always enjoyed the colors and interactive elements of indoor playgrounds. The outdoor ones are ok too but I prefer the clean ones. Like this one it was SO CLEAN. Anyways normally and I and my also neurodivergent adult partner are always turned away at these places. In fact the newest location at flatirons mall said "uh babysit a kid or something" when I asked. But here they let us in! It was so fun. It was really nice to just exist without judgement and event the parents where chill surprisingly. Maybe cuz I was stimming the whole time and they thought "wow ok not a threat" Anyways love THIS location only ! Great colors and is friendly to adults on the spectrum!

We have been coming here since Candeeland first opened! My daughter was one of the first to have a…read morebirthday here in March 2023. Over the years, I think my kids still really enjoy it -- even after 20+ visits! We've also attended at least 10 birthday parties here (and have another one next month!). And experienced all of the different packages. The kids definitely love getting the play card to play the crane machines. My nephew has had a lot of luck with the ones where you grab the circular tickets. He's won some pretty cool prizes! They also love getting a cup to fill with candy after a party! With the shift and rebrand to Sweet Play, I did hope that some of the design or structures would update/change, but it all still seems the same. My kids do still enjoy coming back every so often. We appreciate the pricing (parents being free!), especially $12 for toddler Tuesdays! Our toddler really enjoys the slide into the ballpit the toddler area. Overall, this is a great spot for families with young kids - a good size space where you can generally keep track of your kids.
