Are the most fun playgrounds kind of worn and missing grass in the favorite areas to play? This place is a bit worn and as noisy as any playground I've seen! The COOL thing is they use nickels for the tokens! I'm not sure when the last time I saw a real coin as this is 2023...Some of the arcade items gave tickets that could be redeemed for "prizes" of obvious sentimental value. (The blow up 5' tall purple Alien would make a fun item to hide in the bushes next to the front porch on Halloween, I was thinking. Here for a 5 year old's B-Day celebration. This place is very easy to find, plenty of parking and there are some close by places to eat! (the smell of Cajun spiced seafood almost diverted me to the aroma origin than this arcade.) Cost is reasonable. Service, well, this is a Arcade for kids, I think they do as well as one could! The floor appeared to be the only thing worn as the paint had lots of worn areas. The 5 year old said this place is GREAT! Too many fun items to ride and play than she could remember all. As for me and most of the adults, we just tried to keep from getting trampled by the gangs of small kids.

Dead cricket on the floor. Been there a minute for sure

This place was filthy dirty. I dropped a nickel and almost touched this dead cricket. Floors are filthy with gum and gunk. Place needs a deep cleaning and sanitizer. Definitely will find a different location to go too. I can see why there is only 6 people here! Kids sitting in the back playing on their phones instead of sweeping or cleaning.

Great place to have fun for cheap! I suggest going early in a weekday if possible if you're want it to be slower!

From the very beginning, Carlos and Cynthia were amazing and so accommodating. They truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Carlos has an incredible eye for detail -- he transformed the venue into a magical, beautiful space that left all of our guests in awe. You can really tell how much passion and care he puts into his work. He made sure everything ran smoothly and that our night was absolutely impeccable. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone. Thank you, Genesis Ballroom, Carlos, and Cynthia, for making our daughter's Quinceañera an unforgettable and perfect night! The pictures do not make any justice for how beautiful the place looked in person. I hope these pictures are helpful. Our event was in June 2025

Cynthia (the manager) was terrible to work with and is unorganized. I thought she was just giving me attitude but she was ugly towards everyone who interacted with her. The venue is dated, curtains stained, carpet stained, the front lobby was used as storage for junk. Not very inviting for guests to walk in to. I will say this venue was nostalgic for me, it's an old movie theater that I use to go to in high school. The arcade games are still there which is so cool. Staff for the venue are great. They went above and beyond. I'd book there again if I didn't have to interact with Cynthia. Proceed with caution.

Now that my husband and I have settled into life together I can do this review. My mom did a review…read moresome time ago but this is from my perspective! When I came to Jupiter Garden for a tour back in March 2024. I felt like it was the right place. We looked at many places, but this place fit our budget. I worked with Amber Williams, who coordinated everything, with which I had a great experience. She was with me every step of the way in planning. She went out of her way to get me information on anything I asked about. My wedding date was set for October 12, 2024. Everything ran smoothly up until a week and a half before my date. I received a call from Terry Badmus (the owner) stating that they let her go, which I was disappointed about. It's a business, and things happen. What I didn't like was that it seemed that I had to start my contract from scratch. I had received a text saying that I had a remaining balance, but everything was paid in full months before. I had to have an additional meeting with the owner to go over my whole contract. During this meeting, I was told I didn't have enough servers, had to pay additional for that, and was told one of the rooms we had was an additional 800. We opted out due to that additional charge not being part of the budget, and we still had catering, photographers, and videographers to pay for. And he was a bit unprofessional when it came to Amber. I didn't appreciate his berating of her service provided when I had a wonderful experience with her. He had another young lady take over for Amber. The young lady's name is Hiqmah, and although very nice, she dressed unprofessionally for our first meeting with the owner for the final walk-through as well as on the day of my wedding. On the rehearsal/setup day, we had to unexpectedly share that time with another bride and her family. It was frustrating because it was my time, and we got double booked. On the wedding day, we ran into some issues with tables and chairs for my guests, but the staff worked well to fix the issues before the guests arrived. Overall, my wedding was a success! The wedding ceremony took place in the garden courtyard, and the reception was inside. Pros: Decorum is included, and you get to pick what you want; it's spacious and accommodating for up to 200 persons; you can bring in your own food and or catering; you can do any additional decorations you want; staff was friendly and accommodating; dressing rooms were nice but could use a slight update. Cons: no kitchen, fridge, etc.; not many restrooms for a lot of guests; restrooms need an update.

For my wedding and it was the worst chose I could have ever made. Lack of professionalism. Over…read moreserved my entire family and friends including two minors. Claims they have security there and that wasn't the case. I ran around all night doing there "jobs" and couldn't find anyone who actually worked for the venue the entire evening after the reception started. Lastly, they proceeded to lock all my stuff I thought as decorations and put it in there storage closet. Pretending they didn't know it wasn't their stuff. You cannot trust these people with your money or belongings let alone family members.

The Glitz Plano - I chose the package with decorations. They came out beautiful !

The newly married couple arrived from the UK a few days in advance of the party, but both of them came down with Covid. Needless to say, we had to cancel the party, and all of us were devastated! But Vaibhav from the Glitz was great and gave us a credit for the full amount that could be used if we rebooked the party within a year. Nearly a year later, we finally pulled off the event. The venue was excellent, and everything went smoothly thanks to the help from The Glitz and Vaibhav! I would definitely book another event at the Glitz.

I think it's fair to assume When you rent a venue, you expect to show up with it being clean and ready to use. There was stuff all of the floors. The kitchen was a mess. The bathrooms were dirty. Decorations and balloons still up from night before. No paper towels in kitchen or bathrooms, no trash bags in bathroom. Our tables were not set up and table cloths not out or chairs out. We had to wait for him to set up tables so we could start decorating. Some of the tablecloths had stains on them, probably from night before. The chargers they used were dirty, we had to wash food off several of them. To top it off, he was rude. Not apologizing or trying to make things right. He was supposed to come back and mop before guests showed up cause the floors were disgusting and decided to show up Late when our guests were there and tried to mop....we told him to forget it... He isn't moping around guest. Not one time Did he apologize or make things right. He would be mad or fling his hands. He even showed the venue to 2 or 3 People while we were trying to decorate. Making them promises of stuff he would do, that he did not do for us. When you rent a venue, you expect to walk in and it be clean and ready for you to use. That was definitely not the case!
