I can't make this shit up. Ruined our mood, upset my kids and a waste of my money. Oh, and there's no family rooms to change so if you have kids that are too young to be alone, but too old to be in the opposite gender restroom this is not the place for you

I discovered this place via Instagram and I'm so glad I did! I stopped by yesterday with my 5 year…read moreold and he had such a blast, he stayed a little over 4 hours! If the place wasn't closing at 7PM, I know he would've stayed even longer! This playplace is located in a strip mall, with plenty of free parking. You go in through the DMV area and walk all the way down the long hallway and it's to your left. Check in was quick, you sign the waiver via QR code and get matching stamps with your child. I thought it was a little odd that they charge for the adult (although not as much as a child's admission) as most indoor playplaces, the price for the child includes the adult admission since most of the kids are too young to be running around on their own inside. Like, I wasn't going to drop off my child and not go in kind of thing. The admission price is for the WHOLE day which is a great deal. The inside at first doesn't look that big but the climbing structure itself is HUGE as in it goes up a lot of levels and spans the entire place almost. There's a section for 4 and under which is really cute. Plenty of seating for the adults throughout the place which is nice. Adults can go into the play area to supervise their children though I didn't but it didn't seem too cramped for a full sized adult to maneuver around. Pretty often I would see a staff member vacuuming/wiping down the place and the place overall is very clean. There are well kept clean bathrooms by the front of the playplace. There is a separate food area by the front for eating/drinking and the food is reasonably priced although doesn't taste anything special. Food and drinks for sale include things like pizza, quesadillas, grilled cheese, popcorn chicken, bagged snacks, coffee (no decaf), bottle drinks, juice boxes, and freezer products like ice cream. There's also three separate party rooms that look really cute for birthdays. In conclusion, this is a great indoor playplace for kids maybe up to 10 years old and I would highly recommend this location! I haven't been to the other ones but I believe this one is the newest. I'd even consider having a future birthday party here. Note: Remember to wear socks (both adults and kids) otherwise you need to purchase.

My kids love this palace. It is their new favorite indoor play place. I have been to both the east…read moremeadow one and massapequa. I prefer this location because of its size and theme. I like it for the following reasons: 1. It caters to older kids and younger kids. So if you have kids who have a bit of an age difference, it will appeal to them. There is also a seprete section for babies to 4 year olds. 2. There is a 1 way in, 1 way out situation. You get a stamp upon entry like at chuckie cheese. It is monitored by staff and they check to make sure that adult and child have the same stamp before leaving. The latch to get out is on the staff side, so no accidental unlocking a from kids 3. If you are a parent who needs to follow thier child through the climbing structure. It's not that bad. I am a short mom and I can easily stand and walk through most parts without having to hunch over. I also like that there are ropes on the side of most step ups to help us older folk climb. 4. Food is reasonably priced and is affordable. The menu offers up all food that kids eat from pizza to nuggets 5. The chairs are comfortable. If your a parent who needs to sit, at least there are comfy chairs to sit your aching muscles in. 6. The place is very well maintained and clean. You will continously see staff cleaning and vaccumming every surface they come across. Now for some look outs before going: 1. The slides are fast. Kids love it but there is a potential for boo-boo's. 2. It appears small, but the place is big and you will lose your child at some point. It is a maze in there. I suggest establishing a meeting point that if you get split up and your child needs you, they will know where to look for you. 3. Bring grippy socks. Socks are a requirement here but not the ones with grips. I suggest that you bring some as it will help everyone climb better. 4. They do not allow you to bring in outside food. You can bring in water bottles and baby things, just not food. I wish the coffee selection was a bit better as I had to throw out my Starbucks cup before entering. 5. This place is a little hidden and you do have to go through the doors that say dmv. It is at the end of the long hallway next to the swim school. Overall I love this place and highly suggest going . It is my kids new favorite indoor play place!

We visited Bowlero in East Meadow, NY last Saturday night to take advantage of their unlimited…read morebowling special after 7:00 PM, which includes shoe rental. On paper, it's actually a pretty good deal for a Saturday night. Unfortunately, our experience went downhill almost immediately. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was a large pile of bowling shoes on the counter where guests check in and pick up their rental shoes. It gave the impression that the center was disorganized and that basic housekeeping wasn't being kept up with. When it came time to get our rental shoes, my spouse's pair was fine, but mine were in terrible condition. The employee initially tried to give me a larger size than I wear, although to his credit he did find the correct size. Once we reached our lane, however, I discovered just how worn out the shoes really were. They had a spot worn so thin that it looked like it would soon become a hole, and the shoelaces were ripped. Shoelaces are inexpensive, so there's really no excuse for leaving rental shoes in that condition. Since rental shoes are required to bowl, I didn't have much choice but to use them. As we settled in, we noticed more signs of neglect. The flooring near our lane had a noticeable tear that had not been repaired. Even worse, every time I sat down in one of the chairs, it slowly deflated because it had a hole in it. These are basic maintenance issues that should have been addressed long ago. The bowling itself was also disappointing. The lanes appeared to be heavily oiled, making it extremely difficult to throw the ball consistently. We don't own our own equipment and used the house balls, but they became so oily that our hands felt greasy after almost every frame. We actually left deciding that, at the very least, we're buying our own bowling shoes and a towel before our next outing. Overall, we left disappointed. The unlimited bowling special is a good value, but it doesn't make up for a facility that feels neglected and poorly maintained. With better upkeep, replacing worn rental shoes, repairing damaged seating and flooring, and paying closer attention to lane conditions, this could be a much more enjoyable place to bowl. Right now, though, it feels like a bowling center that has simply been allowed to deteriorate over time.

They decorated the tables and step up everything for the birthday. They gave the kids hand sanitizer before they started the party activities. The kids started the party with inflatables, trampolines, balance beams and more! It was good for all ages and for boys and girls. The place was very festive and perfect for my daughters 5 year old party. They had the inflatable chair for my daughter which made her feel special. I would definitely recommend this place for a birthday party and its affordable. However, it is cash only for the birthday parties just fyi!

The one star is for the facility, it's wonderful…read more The staff was not bad, they were HORRENDOUS. I walked in and you would have thought I had killed their family pets with my bare hands. Besides receiving the nastiest looks on the planet, no one said so much as a hello nor introduced themselves. Acknowledged my children? Not a chance. Okay, a smile for the birthday girl? You guessed it. At this point I'm so uncomfortable, I offer to help set up to perhaps shift the energy. They deferred. We enter the gym and thankfully the kids were able to enjoy because as I said above, the facility is very nice. The staff members softened after my mother said something because frankly, it was upsetting. If you're a parent, you know birthdays are a huge milestone so a little kindness goes a long way in making the day special. Admittedly, I am probably too laid back and should have something but I was too stunned by their behavior. Forget the extra special touches that literally every other facility does such as music preferences of the birthday child, I didn't even want to interact because they were so unfriendly and wildly unapproachable. Party ends and you better believe they were vacuuming and spraying tables by the literal minute the party ended. My kids see their cousins about twice a year and I couldn't even enjoy the moment because I felt the eyes glaring for us to leave. I am imploring you to take your hard earned money elsewhere. I will gladly host your child's party myself to save you the experience we had. Never in my life have I experienced staff this rude in my 40 years of existence. What a heartbreak.

By far the very best attributes to this facility are both the convenience of parking and the ultra…read morelow cost of participation. On a cold Sunday afternoon, my daughter was pleading with me take her ice skating and the only other option was outside on a windy day so we opted to come here. Checkin was a breeze. Town of Oyster Bay residents get a healthy break but even though we live in Huntington, it was a super low price to skate for three hours for $14- that's including the skate rentals. So a super slam dunk for this low cost activity to burn some calories and pent up energy. The staff was friendly and we were up and running in no time at all. There were two windows open for payment and about 4 people behind to get your skates. Leave one of your shoes and they give you a pair in your size. The rink was divided into a trio of areas. The center was used for those who figure skate. And one side was coned off for additional practice. The rest was set up for those who do the traditional counter clockwise circular skating we all are accustomed to. At about half-time, the Zamboni came out to refinish the ice and made for a clean, smooth ride. There are guards there for safety but as far as I could see, were really unnecessary. Bleachers are set up for those who don't want to break their butts (like me) and can cheer on their team or little one while they skate. There is a pro shop inside to buy whatever you might need. For a low cost event, this really was a no- brainer.

It is a long review, but if you are planning an event, I urge you to read this until the end…read more Planning my son's Bar Mitzvah was a daunting task. The expense and amount that needed to be done was overwhelming and I needed to figure out a way to rein it in. Hiring a DJ for a Bar Mitzvah is a must, but it isn't as simple as that. The company is also responsible for providing the rest of the kids activities and, most importantly, keeping the party entertaining and flowing. Having recently moved to Connecticut and not put on an affair like this in over two decades since my wedding, I had no idea who to go to and how to keep in manageable. Also, living in CT and never having lived on Long Island, I obviously had no awareness of Great Neck Games. Randomly, an acquaintance at my Synagogue mentioned them in passing. It was honestly the greatest thing that happened to me in planning the event. Although, I am not saying it was cheap in any way, they worked with me on price and activities in order to keep the cost manageable. But, honestly, I still had no idea what to expect day of and how it would all actually take shape. The low hanging fruit was all done flawlessly. Everything that we ordered was delivered and the room looked beautiful. But, it was the little things and the people that made this event so much better than a run-of-the-mill Bar Mitzvah (see below for two of many amazing photos). Everyone was so happy and had such a great time and I credit DJ Keith Webb along with (I wish I knew their names) the MC and motivators. Keith was so much more than just a DJ. We had a separate room for the adults and he brought a speaker and playlist so they had music in that room. There was no charge for this as he just wanted to help make the event a success. He helped me negotiate the price on a couple of things we needed last minute to keep us within budget. He had a smile on his face the entire time that could fill the room. I am so grateful to him and wish I had the ability to hire him time and again. And, the MC...don't get me started on how great he was. I feel bad that I still don't know his name, but as you can imagine the day was a whirlwind and there was lots going on. He was simply special. He made every kid and adult feel like it was their day as well. But, he especially made my son feel like he should at a party of this magnitude. The motivators, two beautiful and talented women, were equally responsible for making both kids and adults feel engaged, happy and special. They were perfect. I am going to cut this here as it is crazy long, but I cannot thank Great Neck Games enough for what they did. I didn't want to put on such an expensive affair, but they did something I didn't think was possible - made me happy I did it. And, they truly deserve a large share of the credit.
