We went as a small group of kids to try out a class on a Sat afternoon. Kids were exhausted after! They loved the fact that they got to learn from Tim Schnee who has competed on American Ninja Warrior 5 times. My son was really wanting to do the ramp like his friend and Tim was right there giving him pointers and cheering him on. The next run my son nailed it and was super proud. I love the enthusiasm the staff had for the activities. In the past, places that had activities even like this seemed to be run by high school kids who weren't really even interacting with kids. This was a legit professionally run ninja place. They set up a course that was challenging yet had all levels incorporated. There were short cuts built in to it. At the end they even had a green button/buzzer the kids could use to signal they completed the course. There's a bathroom and water fountain right there next to the course. No need to go outside at all into the 24 hour fitness area for anything. Lots of bench seating available for parents. If we weren't so stuck with sports on the weeknights and weekends already we'd sign up for the 6 week class. For now, I think it will be our new bday party spot or coming back for a drop in time. Thanks Tim for getting the kids pumped up today and making em all feel like real ninja warriors! Will def be back.

We ultimately decided to stop because the class no longer felt consistently safe to us…read more The head coach appeared to show clear favoritism toward certain children, while other kids received far less supervision and assistance during activities. During hanging and obstacle exercises, there were moments when children needed help but no coach was nearby to assist or spot them safely. For a ninja-style program involving climbing, swinging, and elevated obstacles, consistent supervision and equal attention to all children should be a basic expectation. What was also disappointing was the lack of concern or follow-up when we chose to withdraw. No one asked why we were leaving or seemed interested in understanding our experience, which left us with the impression that parent feedback and individual student experiences were not being taken very seriously. For parents considering this program, I would recommend paying close attention not only to the facility itself, but also to how consistently all children are supervised, guided, and included during class.

This was my second time over the years hiring Animal Encounters for my children's large birthday…read moreparty. John did an outstanding job accommodating our group from start to finish. The team was attentive to the various age ranges of children, patient with all of our questions, and clearly prioritized the well-being of both the children and the animals.

Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm hospitality made the party fun and memorable!

The owner, Mary was there. She was kind and very supportive of the community we serve. Please, if you have any reservations what so ever - Don't! PLEASE GO and visit this very nice and clean play space, they serve drinks and snacks as well - Definitely a 5 star enviroment!

Perfect place for working parents especially if you really have to work over the weekend…read more You will easily spot a parent with a laptop getting their work assignments completed while their kids are busy playing. The mini excavator, crane are one of a kind that I haven't seen in any other playgrounds. There are 2 multilevel obstacles courses for kids at each end of the playground, one has slides and the other has ball shooting guns. In between these two play areas you have cafe, mini excavator, cranes , mock theatre, jail and fire engine. They have plenty of costumes and you can see kids wearing them are running around. There is also a play area for younger toddlers. I loved how this playground has been architectured to have plenty of seating arrangements for parents at each level. Cafe has good options of food, wine, beer, coffee and other drinks. I wish there were more restrooms and diaper changing spots! Parking is little tricky as there are fewer spots in the playground and also the street parking. Not sure about parking in adjacent establishment parking spot. Cleanliness is amazing, I hope they carry it around as more folks discover this place. There is a timed entry when you book the tickets, not sure when they will start forcing it as the crowd increases! The ticket cost is only for the kid and adults are free! .

If it's crowded, the parking lot can be the hard part about the zoo. There is some street parking outside but I'd say that's the downfall. I love that you can feed the alpacas and other reindeer. It makes the visit more interactive. They also have extra food by the alpaca for 50 cents so bring some quarters. The staff seem to really care for the animals and enjoyed hearing the talk about lemurs. They just got some lion cubs adjusted to their enclosure and it was super cool to see them on their first day. If your toddler is still not tired out, there's a playground in the parking lot they can run around in. Under 3 yo is free!

I'm sorry I really can't recommend this place. I didn't know what to expect being my first time…read morehere but I didn't expect so much heavy energy. The enclosures are so small and devoid of life. The animals look so depressed. Both my sisters and I left feeling so sad for all the animals locked up. I just feel like it could have been more naturalistic to their home like a NW Trek vibe but instead it just looked like a concrete prison for the wildlife.

This place was a hit for the kids. $25 for 2 hours or $32 for all, just don't forget your grippy…read moresocks, it's an additional $3. Don't forget to do the waiver before you get there. They have a small arcade area when you walk in. You can also pay to play with the steam tables in a different section. There are snacks and some bites of food sold inside. I didn't notice much people opting for it. I would def recommend bringing a water bottle in, they are $2.50 a bottle inside. There was free black coffee set out for parents, but I didn't see any creamer. Two restrooms inside that were big, nice and clean. The kids had fun jumping in the ball pit, foam pit, some trampoline. There is a fun beaded pit with some toys to play with. Great place to burn the kids energy for the day.

I'm giving two stars instead of one because I've actually attended a birthday party here before…read morewith my daughter, and it was a really fun experience. However, trying to book a party myself has been incredibly frustrating. I've called multiple times at different times of the day, and no one ever answers the phone. I also sent a message on Instagram, which wasn't seen until the next day, and even then, it was left on read with no response. For a business that is clearly active and posting, that level of communication is really disappointing. The lack of customer service makes it very difficult to move forward with booking, especially when the website doesn't clearly answer all questions. I prefer being able to speak to someone directly, and not having that option, or any response at all, is frustrating. It's unfortunate because we were genuinely excited to book here based on our previous experience, but the poor communication ultimately cost them our business.

This shop is such a delight. The selection, terrarium setups, inspiration- is all in full bloom at…read morethis store. I walked in here with no planned intention but ended up buying an entire DOOA glass and light setup. it's definitely not cheap (~$300 for the set I bought. just glass, metal arm, light, 2 rocks) but what made it worth it is the fact that Adam from this shop was SO kind and beyond helpful. he gave suggestions and advice on what I would need to get my setup working properly, down to the type of substrate for certain plants. when I was picking out a few rocks for my glass, Adam had such an aesthetic eye for which one would look nice in the environment. I'm typically so picky about achieving a certain look for tank builds, but the two rocks Adam pointed out I immediately loved and got (they even have a sand dojo area for you to play around with layout). He sees the vision and helps you execute. This type of expertise and willingness to help is absolutely what lead me to buy an entire setup on a whim! But truly, cares for your build like he would his own and he doesn't try to *sell* you anything, rather he wants the plant to thrive in the environment created, and he's happy to give advice and his time to bring you to success. I never felt pushed in any manner and have so much respect for how he conducts his work. Huge thank you to Adam! Would recommend this shop if you run into him especially.
