OK so I took a day off work and headed here with the wife and my 2 young kids for part of our…read more"Family Day". My wife had heard they had a two hour session for young kids (my kids ages are 6 and 3) that lets them skate for an hour and a half and play on some of the games for 30 minutes. First, for the value ($6/kid with no charge for adults) its hard to argue for a better value. There were maybe 20 kids there throughout the event in total. The kids had a wonderful time learning to skate. They provide some "bars" that the kids hold onto while skating. Parents can also get skates (for free) to skate as well or are welcome to bring strollers onto the ring / walk along side their kids as they skate. The "hosts" do a good job of playing some kids games as well and even give out some little prizes that the kids love. Afterwards, supposedly, the kids usually play on the climbing nets. This day however this was not done as I suspect either they thought it was too many kids for the nets or, since they were doing some Easter theme, maybe that took its place. All-in-all though was a good time. Only drawback was some of the skates that you can borrow are pretty worn down and in need of some attention. I am taking off a star for this in hopes they will eventually update it (though I am sure its not cheap). Looks like a great place too when open to the general public. They might even have roller hockey/soccer/volleyball leagues from what I can tell. They host birthday parties but I heard that gets busy so unless you go for the "Ultimate Rental" package that gives only your party access, I can see it being very busy and congested for a normal party. Worth checking out.

Went for a family fun night. Kids had a blast. Just a few complaints. The place was rather dirty…read more The place could use an overall cleaning. My sons socks and his gray shorts were covered in dirt from crawling around in the jungle gym. We also put $20 into the token machine for games but had we had known a majority of the games were broken we would not have spent the money. We had a tough time using all the tokens. The price per game was great however so many games were broken. The ones that weren't were not even giving our tickets. The selection of toys at ticket counter were very slim and random. Not a good selection at all. There wasn't even candy for the kids to choose. Would love to see some cleaning and improvement to the arcade area. Hopefully we can go back in the future with a better experience.

Her teachers, Elba, Cait, as well as a multitude of other AMAZING staff members, have treated her as one of their own from the very beginning. With the knowledge that I have from formerly working in a daycare setting, I was hesitant to enroll my firstborn in a daycare center. From the second I walked in for our family tour, I have only seen and heard amazing things. I wouldn't trust any other facility with my child, and I'm so glad we found the amazing team at the COA of Cinnaminson! We love the relationships and friendships that our family has built with the staff members and other families, and I can't recommend this daycare facility enough!

We are so grateful for Kiddie Academy of Delran! As a first-time Mom I searched high and low for…read morethe best daycares in the area for a variety of reasons: distance, school standards, quality of teachers, teacher to child ratios, cleanliness, price, safety, peanut free facility, and overall vibe. From the beginning I had a good feeling about KA! We knew we were going to have to send our daughter to daycare from the young age of 3 months, so I was not willing to settle. I would be lying if I didn't say it was an adjustment period. As a mom you know what you like, and when you're giving your child over to someone new, it takes time to become comfortable with the style of care. Again, first time mom problems! (lol) Ms. Mary was so patient with all of my questions, concerns, and everything in between! I'll admit, I can be an annoying overprotective mom. There have been a few incidents that have occurred during my daughter's time at KA, but Ms. Mary and the rest of the directors were SO accommodating to our needs. I can't say enough great things about all of the teacher our daughter has had so far. Ms. Michelle in the puppies is a seasoned professional and handles our girl with care at the young age of 3 months. Our daughter (we will call her AHK) learned how to sit up, crawl, and eat while in Ms. Michelle's class. Ms. Michelle is so sweet and loving. We love getting to see her everyday in the hallway! AHK then moved onto the cubs with Ms. Latoya. I don't have enough space here to talk about our infinite appreciation for Ms. Latoya- she has a true love and passion for teaching and made our girl feel SO at home during a tough transition. Shout out to teaching AHK how to walk up and down the halls of daycare! Ms.Carol was a pivotal part of our daughter's development. AHK learned some of her first words, lots of sign language, and many nursery rhymes while under Ms.Carol's supervision. Ms.Carol is extremely caring and patient and truly helped AHK come out of her shell. Without Ms.Carol, AHK would not have had such a smooth transition to the Turtles classroom. Of all things, AHK loved Ms.Carol's morning hugs! AHK is a shy girl, but Ms. Dynaisha has welcomed her to the Turtles classroom with open arms. Ms. Dynaisha has already taught AHK so many things, like sitting in seat during circle time and how to identify her feelings. Additionally, AHK loves squirrel watching with Ms. Dynaisha on the playground and all the fun art projects she gets to make in class! In addition to AHK's amazing Lead Teachers, I would love to give a huge shout out to all of the assistants and floaters. They ALL know Astra and show equal as much love and patience. We are so fortunate to call KA of Delran "home" until AHK moves onto Elementary School. *cue the tears*

He has surpassed all his " age appropriate milestones" and is such a well mannered little boy. KAD's curriculum is top notch while giving free play to the children. My son is so happy and I could not imagine removing him from this center. My daughter will be joining the center soon and I trust that KAD will care for her just the same.

(Admission otherwise is only $3 for adults and $2 for kids 2-17). There's animals/insects inside such as owls, huge cockroaches, giant turtle, snakes. And a cute reading corner full of nature books. There's also a discovery den AKA play area indoors for $1. There's animals/insects outdoors such as turkey vultures, turtles, a butterfly house and a bird observatory (cute on the inside with toys for the kiddos - be sure to read the story about the couple who opened the center). And a natural playscape outdoors. There's also a bunch of fairy houses throughout the property that girl scouts donated. And lots of trails through the forest. They also have Magic Mornings for ages 2-4 Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - but register ahead as they only have a certain amount of spots each day (it's seasonal - they have in fall and spring but not summer - see website). It's an hour class for $10 and includes a snack, craft, nature walk etc. They usually pull out an animal each class. It's great to get some time in nature with other kids. In summer, they have a full week of Magic Mornings in their Itty Bitty Briar Camp. Ms. Heidi teaches it and she is just great. They have a different theme every day such as sun, water, clouds etc and there's an activity each day (visit pond and catch tadpoles, water play, craft pertaining to theme). They have preschool pioneers for ages 4-5 and summer camp for older kids for a week in late June. *Just beware in June that parking is limited due to school field trips and you may not fit in either of the lots; you may have to park out front of the house to the left (which is fine - she just doesn't want buses idling there) They also have field trips to gardens and to the shore, classes for seniors, family nature nights, hot smores nights... Only negative (besides parking, which they can't really control), is the "snacks" for kids at Magic Mornings aren't the healthiest. One was cinnamon sugar graham crackers with whipped cream- regular would have been fine. 2 days were cheddar gold fish. Another day was blue jello with whipped cream. And some red licorice - the kind that whips. Fruit Loops were used for colors. So, if you don't like your child eating sugar, let them know you have a dietary restriction or bring your own snack (snack time is ~10 min and probably not needed but the kids always love snack time!). Some options that would be healthier and just as easy would be pretzel sticks, fruit, crackers, popcorn, veggies, string cheese...but I guess those all cost more besides pretzels/crackers/popcorn.

Grundy is owned by a private equity firm called Black Bear that is buying up local rinks in order to run them into the ground. They charge $16 for one person for public skating. Shockingly, the rate is the same for kids and adults. Then they start taking some more money. Did you buy your tickets online? Of course you did. It's literally the only way they let you buy tickets. Well, that's another buck. Did you pay with a debit card? That's an extra 3.5% even though that's many times the cost that they incur. They're just taking some more money because they can. These people are bloodsuckers.
