I spent a Saturday morning there with a wonderful group of ladies, ranging in age from our 40s to 80s, and with crafting skills spanning from "I've got this" to "help me, please." The staff? Top-notch. Seriously. They were like crafting superheroes--swooping in with paint suggestions and design tips and even taking over when my creative stress levels hit their peak. And they did it all with a smile and words of encouragement. The store itself is a crafter's paradise. If you can dream it, you can probably make it here--flowers, bows, 3D words, endless embellishments. Me? I had my heart set on a Husker door hanger (because, well, priorities), and I pulled it off with the staff's help! We were there for about 2.5 hours and had a reservation for our group of six, which I'd recommend because this place was hopping. My masterpiece set me back $48.18, and I happily tossed a $5 tip in the jar--honestly, I wish I'd had more cash because the staff was that helpful. I spotted a few other projects I'd love to try... once my art anxiety settles and I start believing in my crafting abilities again. Until then, I'll admire my door hanger and look forward to my next visit to The Makery--where creativity meets encouragement, and even the most hesitant crafter (like me) can leave feeling like a DIY champion!

It was a hot summer day so we decided to take the kids to an indoor playground and this was…read moreamazing! The children had a blast exploring the various centers the facility had to offer. I love that it is an Autism focused playground and recently found out there is a chain and one in my hometown. I really appreciated that there were tables and chairs available for parents to sit and watch or work while their child(ren) is enjoying the facility. We went on a weekday so it was not as busy but I suspect it would be on the weekend. Our kiddos had spent a few hours there and did not want to leave, which is a great sign. I recommend swinging by here if you have are in the area and need a break from the heat.

You could possibly get a little claustrophobic as you are fully locked in this room, but no one had an issues, and not to brag, my team won!

I wanted to do something different for a birthday activity and Le Smash was the perfect choice. I…read morereally enjoy the concept of the smash rooms and it was totally worth the money. You get to smash TVs, bottles, other electronics, vases, plates, tables, and more. (Note - some of the wine bottles are harder to smash.) The owner is great to work with. We had a party of six and he provided us with baseball bats and a crowbar for smashing. Each of us had our own basket of items that we could smash such as beer bottles, plates, and wine bottles. You could also grab other items inside the room. I recommend this for a fun activity or to relieve stress.

I really appreciate the concept of the smash room and honestly, would do it again. My issue is that…read moreI have paid $963 for a smash session with 5 people. I called in July 18th to make a reservation for a smash party. Booked it for 10 people just to be safe, so I paid the $321. However soon after I hung up the phone I was getting notifications and e-mails from my bank suspecting fraud. I check my account and I was charged the $321 FOUR TIMES. I immediately called back and spoke to the owner who said that something went wrong in her system and she would refund the extra charges. I saw them as pending returns so I assumed that since it was a Friday they would go through by Monday. Nope. They disappeared. For the past few weeks I have called, left a message on the website, and even spoke to the owner on the day of the party. She said she received my message and issued the refunds (again, I assume?). That was July 29th. I had my party, and it was a great time. But again. Almost $1,000 of my own money has been in the pockets of this business since 7/18. It's now 8/8. I still have three charges of $321 on my bank account. So I basically paid for 30 people to have a smash party when I had FIVE. I've held off on writing a Yelp review because I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt but at this point I am over it. The fact that I have to continuously call/message and dispute transaction with my bank to get MY OWN MONEY BACK is so ridiculous. Hoping another smash room opens up in the area because I've given enough money to this business to last a lifetime.

My daughter was anxious and were in a hurry to make sure we were able to set up everything within the small time-frame we were allotted before the guests arrived to the party room. The pizza has to be ordered ahead of time as it is delivered from an outside source. Overall it was a great experience.

Wonderful store! I was hardly prepared for the refreshing experience I found here…read more There are so many games for different consoles, old and new! I found a couple new-to-me, limited release games for my older console. They've also got bunches still in storage, so if you're looking for something specific, just ask! The owners are currently remodeling and expanding into the space next door, with plans to expand their in-store gaming space. It's going to be amazing! There are bunches of other gaming products and accessories to complement both gaming (like controllers, guitars, mics, etc.) and the gaming lifestyle (like mugs, pins, graphic novels, etc.). I'll be back to look for gifts for my gaming family. My eldest bonus boy was excited to see how good a deal was at the Pokémon Trading Card Post. All of the kids found something to call their own. ^_^b Oh, and it isn't for sale, but the collection of Poké Balls from the 1999 Burger King kids' meals at the front desk is so cool!! The complete set!! XD There are a few other things like that sprinkled in the store. Just a joy to see them and enjoy them for a moment. Another thing that isn't for sale--the owners! They are a treasure to speak with, and so knowledgeable about the gamers' universe. My kids were delighted to find ready conversation with them about a bunch of gaming things I didn't fully grok. And I found their expertise deeply fascinating and engaging, as well. All in all, this place is true to its name--The Gamers Oasis. A place where you can relax, sink into a world of gaming for a while, and come away refreshed and powered up for the real-life play outside. 10/10

They have a basement where customers can come in a play games on the consoles. They had mentioned they're thinking of having an hourly rotation of games with sign up lists and schedules for those who are interested.

If you have any questions, concerns, or just looking to look, turn no further.

It holds a full service restaurant, bar, and party rooms towards the front, while boasting a massive amount of play structures and toys in the back half. A few unique items we have not seen combined elsewhere: A play sand box but with crystallized beads instead, a "wipe out" wall course with its own timer to race, and a massive foam pit with a climbing wall. This is in addition to a huge play jungle gym in the middle, with a few free arcade games, and a pretend play city with multiple "shops". Lastly, the toddler ball pit comes with an interactive projector on the slide for even more fun! Our boys had a blast running around between all the variety of activities. Each pass is good for the day, meaning you can stay for 1 hour or 7, it's up to you! While weekend times are a little costly ($35 1st child, $25 2nd), they do have happy hour times where it's only $20, or a monthly membership that includes some discount perks. You definitely get what you pay for here, and you're allowed to leave and come back the same day as long as you have your wrist band. They do require you to buy their own socks ($3) but that's pretty much most indoor play places now. Whether you're come for a birthday, or just an afternoon of play, definitely add Kid Lavie to your list of indoor play areas to check out!

AWESOME PLACE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY - INCLUDING ADULTS…read more This place is great. It's in the Oak View Mall which is sadly pretty vacant these days. The store directories at the entrance were turned off so we were not sure where this location was. We went up the elevator and it's on the 2nd floor, right across from Build A Bear. There is a tablet to check in and complete a short liability waiver, or a posted QR code to scan and do the same. Once you complete the waiver, you can pay for admission at the front counter. Prices are affordable. They appear to increase depending on weekends vs weekday. There are also three month or annual bundles we might consider. The front staff was very friendly. You must have grippy socks (adults included if you are going to play with your kids) and can be purchased when you purchase admission. There is a huge seating area and you a large menu of foods to order. There are also coffees and other options like pop, juice, tea. We did not order anything so I cannot speak to the quality. There is a large cubby area to store your shoes and other items. Now time for the best part - the play area! It is amazing, honestly. There's SO MUCH TO DO. Multiple large ball pits, slides, obstacle courses, zip lines, trampolines, multiple interactive play house set ups like a kitchen, salon, doctor's office, kinetic sand and so much more. I just be chance came on opening day and I was so impressed with the staff. Most appeared younger, high school age but were very mature and attentive. I was asked several times by staff how we were doing and if we were enjoying ourselves. I also saw staff interact with children and help them zip lines and bounce and do other things. It also was very clean. The best part is every area is big enough adults can follow their kids, including slides. This is a huge factor as you can make sure your kid is constantly supervised while enjoying themselves. I 10/10 recommend this place and I look forward to the next time we come!!!!
