Review of water park only:…read more Don't buy for the whole family. We made the mistake of buying for a family of 4, but only small kids would enjoy this. Could have saved half the cost by just buying for 2 kids. You definitely don't need more than an hour either. It's really loud, so it's not great for autistic or sensory sensitive kids. My kids don't enjoy water directly in their face, and there's nowhere to go that doesn't have water landing directly in your face. There's nowhere for adults to sit, and it's a small room so there's residual splashing everywhere; wear pool shoes even if you don't go on the play structure and are just supervising the kids. During the 5-minute breaks once per hour, it would be nice if you could use the adjacent pool I but it was occupied with aquatic sports teams. Staff were very friendly, and the overall sports/rec facility looks huge and very clean. Locker rooms were very clean as well. For our family, however, it just wasn't worth the price paid nor was it the type of water park that would work for older kids or autistic kids.

We had a blast at the bounce house and the ninja maze. There is a rock climbing wall and some advanced obstacle course for older kids. My kids were fascinated by the arcade too, they sat on the motorcycle and pretended to play. The groupon deal makes it worth going, you get two hours of play on the regular ticket price. Staff was friendly and helpful at the front desk. Will recommend!

I came back to host a birthday party. For any parent, looking for a party venue for their child I…read morehighly recommend this place. I booked the option two party about three months in advance. What's great is that you just select a theme from the pictures they have they send you a digital invite to send out and as you get close to the party date, they'll confirm the theme and give you an idea of what the schedule is. That's it that's literally all you have to do. Honestly, if you were to just walk in the door without anything in hand other than a child, your 90 minute birthday party would go off without a hitch. They had the cupcakes, the utensils, the balloons, the beautiful room set up and they had the goodie bags. Honestly, a lot of the parents gave us a compliment on organizing the party and how much fun they had and I felt weird taking any credit for it. We had an assigned party planner that was very invested in making sure everything was running on time and that the room was set up perfectly to our needs. And at the end of the party, they packed everything up for you. What's wild is they actually packed everything back in the original containers organized and ready to go. And then these poor people had to re-organize all the toys that our party had demolished and dragged a different corners of the room all within 30 minutes. I hate planning, and hosting events gives me a lot of anxiety, so to have a party go off successfully with my minimal involvement is amazing.

I'm at a stage in my life where I'm going to kids birthday parties every other weekend. Out of all…read morethe places I've been to, I think Play Street is probably ranked first. First of all, the concept of a pretend Main Street USA with shops with all kinds of props and working cash registers with play money inside is brilliant. I remember playing pretend shop keeper with my brother and cousins as kids and we would have loved this place. Secondly, the place is very well maintained and has plenty of space for the more active kids to just run around from shop to shop. My wife loved it so much she booked one of their other locations for our son's birthday which is many months away.

I took my two kids ( under 6 yrs) on a Sunday mid-day and it was very busy. It's been very cold…read moreoutside and I think many parents needed their kids out and about doing something. It was definitely over-crowded and quite hard to find a table to sit down. We eventually found one right at the back of the store. The kids had the best time but scramble employees were no where to be found! There was no one monitoring kids. My kid got hurt a few times by slightly older kids and it was quite chaotic. The staff were not cleaning at all. You have to remove your shoes before entering the play area but the toilets are located inside the play designated area which means you have to go into the bathroom with socks on which is very gross. They should allow shoes in the bathroom area. Also the soap dispensers were empty and the lady that cleans the bathroom just hung out in the bathroom not really cleaning or filling the soap. The cafe - there are food options for kids and adults. We did try the kids pizza and French fries. The pizza was fine( cheese) but the fries were not good. It tasted like they fried it in very old oil. They do have coffee but I did not try it as the didn't have an option for skim milk. They do not allow outside food or drink but no one seems to really monitor that. Security - ok so this is non-existent. There is a door that divides outside area with inside play area but kids can easily open the door and leave the premises. The lady that stands by the door doesn't monitor kids matches with their guardians. She just opens and closes the door and often she is not there at all. They do not give wristbands at all or any form of security feature. So watch your kids closely while you are there as once they go into that massive play area it's difficult to locate them. The kids seemed to enjoy it as they don't worry about germs , dirt or food. I mean it's fine for an hour or so but honestly it was the last resort when deciding on a place to take the kids too. They also charge the adults an entry fee!!! ‍ I mean it's not like we are playing in the kids areas . I think we paid $55 for entry (2 kids and 2 adults). Would I go back? Not by choice but if the kids asked then I would consider it for an hour or two. ( definitely not on a weekend though).

As a parent, I was really disappointed with our visit to Scramble this summer. The playground was…read moreopen despite the heat, but inside it felt hotter than outdoors. The humidity was high, the air was thick, and there was no working A/C to keep the space comfortable. Kids were flushed and sweaty within minutes, and the lack of ventilation made it feel unsafe for extended play. Scramble usually does a good job with cleanliness and staff friendliness, but climate control is non‑negotiable. They need to fix the A/C before welcoming families in these temperatures.

I went yesterday and, although the new building is beautiful, for the price tag ($30 per adult) it…read moredefinitely is not worth it. The Photo Arc (a video photo library of almost all species on Earth) is beautiful, but it could be a coffee table book. The Archive was a history of National Geographic Magazine and its explorers. The old Nat Geo had rotating exhibits. My family saw the Terracotta Warriors, an exhibit with live geckos, another with live frogs, one on birds of paradise, and another on medieval artifacts some English farmer found on his land. It was interactive and informative. This was glitz without a lot of substance. There are other possibilities to explore, but they are all behind a pay wall. Even a guided tour of the museum was an up charge. I wouldn't head back anytime soon. I don't love to pay for museums when there are so many for free in DC, but if I was going to pay, I would spend my money at the Spy Museum or the the National Building Museum, where there are more exhibits and information to learn and explore.
