This place looked promising, but it really wasn't. We paid nearly $800 for food and the Ultimate party with pool option. The people on the phone weren't very nice as every time I called, they insisted I paid and every question ended with "so do you want to book it?" Not the best first impression.
Day of, we get there and I was hoping my first impression was just an impression. They confirmed everything we "preordered" and I reluctantly ordered an extra 4 pizzas just in case. The party started promptly and two bins were left for shoes and gifts at the entrance.
We head down with our party to the gymnasium where they started with the structured gymnastics. It was set up like an obstacle course. They had the kids follow each other through the challenges for a half hour.
Next, they went through a large inflatable caterpillar which they kids enjoyed for 15 minutes then they began what they called Peter Pan rides (large rope pulley thing) and zip lines into a foam pit. The kids somewhat liked those. The last thirty minutes of play was in the playground, which wasn't private. The kids enjoyed that.
The last hour was in the party room. This is where it all pretty much went downhill. There were three total rooms, but there was only sitting for the kids and the rooms were small. It was already upsetting to not join our kids in the fun let alone stand and just watch in the viewing area. Our hostess as nice as she was, was wearing booty shorts. I understand it was hot, but every time she bent over...you get the picture. It was bad that even the kids noticed.
They were nice enough to let me semi decorate the place which I did while the kids played. She began asking all the kids what they wanted, item per item. This was a complete time waster. Every soda, juice, chip, pizza dessert item was asked. We watched painfully as she walked around handing the kids what they asked for.
For food, we ordered chips and dip, a fruit platter, a popcorn bowl, hot dogs, pizza and soda. The pizza wasn't very good. The cheese slipped right off and there was barely any pepperoni. We over ordered as I would have preferred to have more than less, but we over ordered by 5. Shouldn't they have noticed we weren't going to eat all of it when they were bringing out two pizzas at a time? Not even closely thoughtful. Just wanted the money as each pie was $16 each. The fruit platter for $20, only consisted of red grapes, watermelon and strawberries. Really sad for options as $20 didn't justify the price. The chips were in a bowl with dip on the side, whatever. Hot dogs were served, un-assembled. The hostess put them together while the kids waited with their hands raised. Don't get me started on the soda. It was delivered in pitchers, barely cold and pretty much flat. The kids drank them right after she poured and they had to wait in order to get another serving. Obviously, they were thirsty from running around. There were two for the kids, one pitcher for the adults.
We brought our own cake and cupcakes to serve, while they served the ice cream sundaes. It was a hoodsie cup, with whipped cream and options of skittles, Swedish fish and sour patches. Not really sundae toppings. How about cherries, jimmies, or sauces?
We opted for swimming afterwards since it was a hot day. I had to pay first before letting any of the kids go. They said they were going to clean up everything for us and we can pull our car up. Too bad, we ended up doing the majority of it as it would have been painstakingly long as she kept disappearing. The kids enjoyed the pool until someone threw up in the pool. It took so long for them to clean it, we all opted to go home.
Overall, the kids did have a good time, but as the parents, we felt it was all rushed and not worth the price tag. Now we know why it's called ONE stop fun. read more
