He came home excitedly telling me all about his day and the projects he made. I loved that they made the experience feel special--providing lunch, visiting places like California Pizza Kitchen and the Hello Kitty Cafe, walking around nearby stores, and incorporating creative projects along the way. At pickup, I even got to "buy" one of my sons sweet art pieces from his little $5 sale. So cute! The only challenge for us is logistics: the drive is about 35 minutes with traffic, and Valley Fair parking can be difficult, making for a long commute day. Because of that, we will probably save it for school holidays rather than use it regularly. But it is absolutely a high-quality camp, and I would love to return for another art class in the future.

I was the only adult in the session, surrounded by kids, and felt completely comfortable. I worked with the instructor to choose a simple Van Gogh-inspired painting.

The staff were friendly and encouraging, and I had a wonderful experience!

They enjoyed dressing up in fireman gear, playing with water, doing crafts, playing in the pretend food area, building with blocks, making bubbles, and playing outside. This place has a lot to do and we wished we could have stayed longer. Only part that is annoying is the stroller rule. If your child CAN walk, you can't take your stroller in. Weird rule for a place that caters to kids, including younger ones in that in between stage. Even cmy 4 year old gets tired more than average. And sure, my youngest can technically walk but he can't last the whole time walking. Anyway, we had fun but I felt like I couldn't fully relax.

Here you will make your very own customized slime creation or you can opt to buy pre-made slime kits. The entire process consists of 10 steps: 1) Choosing your type of slime. There are 6 different options: CLEAR, ICEE, CLASSIC, BUTTER, CLOUD, AND THICK + GLOSSY 2) Picking your slime scent. Options vary from fruit loops, tropical, candy crush, snickerdoodle, plumeria, + monkey farts [just to name a few]. 3) Pick your slime color. 4) Mixing the slime with your choice of scent and color. 5) Adding activator to find your preferred level of stickiness. 6) Adding Glitter + Shine. 7) Adding Foam Products 8) Adding Sprinkle Fun Mixes 9) Play with your slime. Squish, punch, pull , and stretch it to your desires. 10) Prepare to package up you creation and top your slime off with your choice of charms. Reservations are not required and the establishment offers private parties/celebrations. This process from start to finish can be quick or prolonged, depending on how much time you have or what you want. There have been instances where the process took my child 15 mins and others where she would linger for 45 mins or so. The staff here is always friendly and they take time to listen to their little clients. On a few occasions, including yesterday's recent visit, Ms. Emma was the employee to assist and interacted with my toddler. I appreciate her creating conversations, being patient, and uplifting my child during the entire process. Slime creating is a bit costly but the fun and confidence my child has when she exits the establishment is well worth it.

***This review is for the week-long summer camp…read more We had a GREAT experience with Safari Run this summer. We signed our two kids up (ages 6 & 8) and they said this is their favorite camp. Pros: - Length of time / it's an all-day camp from 8:30-3:30. - Variety of activities / they stay indoors most of the day either playing in the play structure area or in the party room doing arts and crafts. However, they also have a designated area in the spacious parking lot to do activities as well so the kids do get fresh air outside. - Staff / the camp counselors are AWESOME! Super patient, friendly, and sweet to the kids. Ms. Yadira, Zoe, and Jojo need a raise. They were SO good to the kids! - Drive-thru drop-off and pick-up line / except for the first day of camp, you can use the drive-thru line for the rest of the week. Very convenient, safe, and fast since there's one staff member with the sign-out sheet and another staff member helps with loading or unloading the kids. - Communication / prior to camp, we received a detailed email that included information on timing, activities, and themes for the week. We knew exactly what to expect each day. - Photo privacy / they take photos and videos to post to their social media accounts, but if you want to opt your kids out, they honor that easily. - Snacks / two snacks were provided each day, but you bring your own lunch from home Cons: Can't think of any! This camp may not be right for older kids (the pre-teens), but for the littles, it was very fun. Highly recommend!

We were able to try equipment in several rooms throughout the party (rotating every 15 ish minutes). The obstacles were challenging enough that my kids gained confidence and a workout. My only complaint is that it was difficult to sign the waiver because it seemed like you could only sign a waiver the day of the party (and other friends had the same experience). However, one friend troubleshot this by going on a laptop and not her phone and found a way (I forget actually but it worked).

The facility is newer and nicer there but the bigger difference is in the staff. I hosted a party here earlier this year and I had the hardest time getting hold of someone to talk to about the party. Each email and phone call had to be done repeatedly. I had almost forgotten about this but a friend just hosted here and mentioned the same issue I had. Additionally I noticed at the party there there was almost no staff at the bouncy house rooms. The would walk us to the room then disappear until the next room changed. However, two other pump it ups I've been to definitely always had staff watching over everything. Really hope they start training the employees to be more attentive and responsive to customers. Personally I wouldn't want to host at this site again.

I usually have pretty good experiences at BAB from other staff members here but I'm not sure what…read morechanged: Liz was the one that helped my two kids stuffed their bears but there were issues: - Liz tried to "speed up the service" by stuffing both bears at one time (one after another), had them choose a heart and stuff them in and tied it instead of individualizing it and making it personal for the child that chose that stuffy - something I've never seen before. - The thread for one of our stuffy broke and Liz was like "uh so this broke... I can give it to you as is or I can have them hand sew it. It would take like 2 minutes." To which we agreed and she passed it off to Marjorie. - I had asked if I missed the "heart dance" and why it wasn't done and Liz's response was "well, one already stuffed their heart in and the other we just... didn't." (The two kids that I saw Liz helped after us, she did the "heart dance" and make a wish" with them, so I'm not sure why my kids didn't get that experience. I could have easily called them back because they weren't done but Liz quickly had my other child who was waiting, just stuff their heart in without prompting them to make a wish.) Usually, when my kids get excited and already stuffed their heart in their bear, the staff associate would say something like "that's okay! We can do another heart because you can never have too much love!" or something like that, and they can make a wish and stuff their heart in the bear. When I brought up the issue with Marjorie who rung us up, she said there was nothing they could do about it in terms of changing the prices other than just talk to Liz about the situation. I explained that it was a lackluster experience since we were here for a birthday gift for my little one and it just didn't deliver and there was no resolution. And to pay for the stuffy and stuffing experience but not get it other than to just get the stuffy stuffed was not the "BAB experience" we're here for. And Marjorie's response was "yeah there's nothing we can do about that" and quickly said "so do you still want the items or not?" And I was like "well, they already made it so I guess I have to purchase it right?" And Marjorie was like "Yeah." So at that point why even ask? I shouldn't be surprised I was still charged 15 cents for a bag and wasn't offered the half price gift card, nor did she ask if we did the birth certificate for the stuffies. But my biggest pet peeve/concern about the overall experience is this: staff agrees to work at a place specifically for kids and not have any empathy for kids nor make it a special/memorial experience for them because "we just...didn't" makes zero sense at all. She (Liz) was not smiling throughout the experience for both my kids and both staff members looked like they did not want to be there. I'm not sure if they were having an off day or what, and I hope whatever it is gets better for them both, but I just find it unfair my kids' experience (or lack thereof) had to have the consequences. ALSO, please check your points here!! The last two times I went to this store my points were "exclusion" so I'm not sure what went wrong on the system but my purchases were not counted towards my points balance.

A totally different way to experience "family game night" Definitely worth a go with your family or friends... this is not just a once in a lifetime experience, we're already thinking about when we're going back and who we'd bring with us!

But my main thing is I think they need to do a much better job if you do a kids vs parents game, or warn against it (they said it would be fine). I ended up fighting the other parents to throw the match! I would recommend doing two teams of the same level, because overall the experience was cool, but the kids vs parents things was good for the kids, not as much for the adults. And it was kinda pricy for the whole party.
