The animals were nice to look at. My granddaughter wanted to hold one of the rabbits, but they were not brought out that day. The staff brought out one animal for the morning session, and one for the afternoon, but what they bring out is random. They one handling the animals seemed into the children, but other than that, none were out on the floor to interact with the childen. My granddaughter had fun, but it got old after a couple of hours.

Almost haunted vibes LOL Chickens kept in a small glass enclosure still isn't sitting right with me. Worker brought out a guinea pig to which an older kid asked what is that? And the worker responded with ummmm a horse, what do you think it is? Maybe being funny but really was just rude. We also had an issue with a child running wild hitting yelling the entirety of our visit and mother did absolutely nothing until confronted (EVERY parent/caregiver glued to their phones and let their kids do whatever) Absolutely mother's fault but staff should also be somewhat supervising and stepping in when necessary. The loft area has a shorter ceiling not easily accessible for parents (there's a bed up there and I felt inappropriate for kids to be unsupervised) The girl who took our payment was super nice!

    This indoor playground for kids 10 and under opened in May 2019; it's located in a plaza in Avon,…read moreCT. I've had it bookmarked for a while and finally was able to check it out. They also host birthday parties. General admission for kids 2 and older is $16.95, adults are free; if they have a sibling under 2, they are also free. I purchased the general admission ticket ($16.95) plus a pre-loaded $16 game bracelet for $26.95. Shoes are not allowed so socks are recommended. There was a snack area and tables for the parents. Restrooms were clean and had changing tables. The arcade area was small with an air hockey table, photo booth, and various arcade games. My toddler loved the dinosaur egg machine; there were toys inside those golden eggs. The playground has two levels and they were soft on the feet. The slides were steep but my son loved it; I can see why there's a disclaimer that it goes fast. There was an indoor go-kart track that my son also loved riding the little go-karts on; it went around the playscape. There were large Legos, blocks, a ball pit, a mini donut shop, ride on toy cars, and grocery store. We spent an hour and a half there and my son still didn't want to leave. My other son is a crawler, he still enjoyed the toys at the mini stores and the ride on cars. Overall it was 5 stars for my children and I; we look forward to going back and highly recommend it for kids 10 and under.

GREAT idea, great concept, especially on cold rainy days, or just to have some indoor fun. My 3 and 5 year olds both autistic are having a blast. WOOOOOOOW.... Ok, I really have to apologize, I started this probably a couple years ago and never realized I never posted it.. Still a great place!

You email their contact and no one responds. So I just cancelled my card what an inconvenience! Management needs to do better and why isn't anyone cleaning?? They say they have someone comes in to clean but I'll see the same dust, icy cup in the same spot for days. This has always been an issue. The owner of this place I do feel bad, he gives out snacks drinks or even game cards when it's dead. But I wish it wasn't so filthy !!

    One star is being generous if I could give a half of a star I would!!! This Manchester location by…read morefar has been the worst indoor play scape/area I have ever been to. It was our first time at this location with three children aged 6, 11 and 10. We arrived five minutes before they opened. Many of the attractions were closed, which is not the issue with my visit. This location looks like it has never been cleaned. There was old food on the trampolines, used Band-Aids in the clear ball pit, spilled soda on the floor in various locations. The bathroom conditions were worse than any porta potty you could ever go into. The handrails on the ramps were loose and wiggly, so many of the sections were ripped/torn. Masking tape seems to be their best friend. Every handrail and surface that you touched was sticky, and the floor bent downward when you walked In many places. When I asked to speak to a manager, the only manager in the whole building was literally 18 years old and said that the conditions of the place was not his problem. We were there for a half an hour they refused to give me a refund due to being in the location for a half an hour. The lighting in this location is very minimal As well. If you are into a condemned warehouse vibe, and want to come down with a new disease then this is the place for you and your children.

    Today, my wife and daughter went to this place as they normally do. While my daughter was playing,…read moreanother child's mother approached my wife and told her to control her daughter. My daughter is only three years old. She did not hit the child or do anything to him, but for some reason, the mother became offended and approached my wife. On top of that, my wife is pregnant, and this woman threatened her, saying that something was going to happen to her if she did not control her daughter, and that because she was pregnant, something could happen to her as well. My wife felt unsafe and immediately went to the owner to explain what had happened. The owner basically said that he could not do anything. How can someone go to a children's establishment, be threatened by another customer, report it to the owner, and be told that nothing can be done? My wife was threatened with comments suggesting that something could happen to her and her pregnancy, and the owner did absolutely nothing about it. I do not recommend this place to anyone, especially families with young children.

    I have been bringing my daughter to this place since she was only 7 months old, and for years I had…read moreabsolutely nothing negative to say. I had always had a good experience with the staff, and I have always considered the owner to be a very respectful, polite, and professional person. Unfortunately, this most recent visit was completely different and honestly left me shocked, uncomfortable, and extremely concerned for my daughter's safety and my own. I brought my 3-year-old daughter, as I normally do. At one point, my daughter approached another child because she wanted to play and took a toy the child was holding. She is THREE YEARS OLD. Of course, I immediately stepped in and asked her to give the toy back. Children are children. These kinds of small situations happen all the time, and as a parent, I handled it immediately and appropriately. What I absolutely did NOT expect was the mother's reaction. She spoke to my 3-year-old daughter in an extremely rude and aggressive manner. I chose to ignore it because I did not want to create a scene or ruin anyone's day. But then it became MUCH more serious. The woman approached me directly and told me that I needed to "watch" my daughter because her son is autistic. I completely understand and respect that every child has different needs, and that was NEVER the issue. The issue was the way this woman chose to address my child and, more importantly, the threats she made toward me afterward. She told me that if anything happened involving her son again, I would "see what she was going to do to me." She then noticed that I am pregnant and made comments that made me feel personally threatened and extremely unsafe. At that point, I immediately went to the owner and explained exactly what had happened. I told him that I had been threatened and that I was prepared to call the police because I did not feel safe. The owner recommended that I leave and offered to refund my money, which I did not accept. I left because I had no intention of putting myself or my 3-year-old daughter in a potentially dangerous situation. And honestly, THIS is the part that bothers me the most: I was the person who ended up having to leave. I did not threaten anyone. I did not insult anyone. I did not physically confront anyone. I did not create a scene. I simply corrected my 3-year-old daughter and asked her to return a toy. Yet after being confronted and threatened by another adult, I was the one who had to remove myself and my child from the environment. I have been coming here for YEARS, so writing this review genuinely disappoints me. I never expected to have an experience like this at a place where I had previously felt comfortable bringing my child. I want to be very clear: this is not about the child being autistic. I have respect and compassion for children with special needs. This is about an adult choosing to aggressively confront a 3-year-old child and then making threatening statements toward her mother, who was visibly pregnant. A place where parents bring their children should be a place where families feel SAFE. No parent should have to worry about another adult threatening them or their child while simply trying to enjoy a normal outing. I sincerely hope management takes situations like this seriously because parents should never have to choose between staying somewhere they paid to enjoy and leaving because they are afraid for their own safety. After this experience, I personally would think twice before bringing my child back, because I can no longer say that I feel completely safe there. It is incredibly disappointing to go from having years of positive experiences to leaving a place feeling threatened and unsafe. Parents deserve better. Children deserve better. And no one should have to tolerate threats simply because they brought their child somewhere to play.
