This place makes me insane and gives me a huge migraine headache after about 45 minutes. Now that my kids are older I can handle it better (used to lose them sometimes) but it is still not very well organised.
Their employees TRY hard, yet seem overworked. They are always friendly though.
Too many unsupervised 10-14 year old kids get dropped off on their own and go absolutely nuts shoving each other around, playing tag or hide-and-go-seek and pushing past younger kids, sometimes knocking them over. Most are nice kids though, and after a scolding they behave better..besides one who screamed back and forth with me in German for a good 20 minutes until I started throwing balls at his head and went and tattled to an employee who seemed to know him and have his respect.
There are go carts that are actually thrilling to try and operate because of the REAL danger. I´m always dodging little police cars that would break my foot to try and get my kid when the go cart just dies in the middle of the loop. I've saved lives grabbing wandering toddlers just before they get run over by a double motorcycle controlled by a 1 and 3 year old.
They now have a self-operating bumper car cage which was very entertaining on my last visit. A bunch of pre-teens were standing up, riding 4 to a car and going crazy trying to kill each other. It was better than a movie..better than TV..
Honestly, it´s a fun place if you can handle it. Kids love it because like climbing trees to the very top it creates a sense of "real" danger. I think the lack of supervision and rules by employees is odd since I´m coming from the US, but it´s not really a BAD thing for kids to experience when they are older. There are very few thrills now days.
Just be aware your kid might get hurt, or bullied, or lost. Probably they will just have a great time, but you never know. There are a few places I like better and one that gives me a migraine after 2 HOURS, so that´s a huge difference on the headache scale.
I would go with older kids (5-14 or so), have them stick with their friends or sibling and find another place if you have babies or toddlers. It´s very over stimulating and the layout is weird for kids who wander off. Many other play places are smaller, safer, cleaner, and you can see your kids at all times.
I have been to a lot of birthdays there and they do a good job. It´s not the WORST place ever but it is pretty special with no rules in place and no one watching over the bumper cars or go carts or slides or anything really. read more
