    Starts quiet then it turns into a war zone by 11am. Godspeed to anyone who ventures here. But it's also because of these ridiculously stupid and outdated blue laws that a bunch of whiny people who cry about traffic that's causing places like these to be like Vietnam circa 1965 on a Sunday morning. Bottom line, this is a new and somewhat pricey indoor playground for kids in garden state plaza. It's pretty new now but I'm sure this place will be worn down by the pent up demand of children and parents in the area. The entire location isn't big but the type of distractions are good enough to eat up a couple of hours of their attention span. Thankfully a few of the attractions are building block oriented so kids are really well distracted. It gets insane crowded here on Sundays already so be careful. Also there aren't a lot of food options other than snacks and it is kind of pricey. The season pass is much more worth it if your kids don't get bored easily. I actually think it's great to have another entertainment option in this mall, but just be aware of the cost and that already we're seeing big crowds here. People need more things to do in Bergen country on Sundays!

    Halloween themed birthday party. Staff was awesome! Helped assemble and place decorations brought from outside.

    Clean facilities with educational and interactive games. Space for adults to relax comfortably and encourages imagination and interaction with others. Good for ADA children and adults. Professional and friendly staff. Excellent for children's birthday parties.

    Mousetrap area doesn't work. No one on the floor to explain interaction games to the kids. Not a lot to do

    So impressed with this place. It's an indoor play gym with gross motor imaginative play fine motor…read moreand social opportunities. It was clean and not crowded like other indoor play places nearby. I thought it was well priced as well. I always thought that only children who have special needs could go because of the name, but it is for everyone. Inclusive and amazing setting. Can't wait to go back!

I booked her party 5 months in advance and paid for two extra hours, specifically because I wanted the gym privately for the full 4 hours. Our party was scheduled from 1-5 PM. About one week before the party, I received a call saying that the last hour (4-5 PM) would now be open play, and that the pricing for the second additional hour had changed. While they said they wouldn't charge me the new price since I booked far in advance, I expressed how upset I was that this change was communicated so late. Had I known sooner, I would have adjusted the party time to avoid open play altogether. I was then told on the phone that there was no guarantee anyone would come in during that last hour, which turned out to be completely untrue. On the day of the party, we felt rushed to go into the party room and was told we couldn't enter the play area because another group/party was already using it, meaning our party was overlapped with another event. To add even more stress, I received a call the day before the party saying there might be an additional cleanup fee. This was surprising, especially since my friend has hosted two parties here before and was never charged a cleanup fee. What should have been a joyful, stress-free experience for my daughter's first birthday turned into unnecessary anxiety and frustration due to poor communication and last-minute changes. I'm really disappointed, especially given how much I previously loved this place. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd host another party here again.

    Extremely disappointing experience for my child's birthday party…read more I rarely write reviews, but I feel it's important to share this experience so other families know what to expect. We booked our child's birthday party here and it turned out to be one of the most frustrating experiences we've had. From the start, communication and customer service were poor. When we booked, we were told that to receive their 20% discount, the deposit had to be paid by cash or Zelle -- no credit cards accepted. We ended up sending a $300 deposit via Zelle. On the day of the party, we were unexpectedly told to pay the entire $944 up front, even though we had already paid a deposit. The staff said they would "refund" the deposit afterward, which was never clearly explained before. This caused unnecessary stress during setup since we had to gather additional cash right before guests arrived. During the event, there were several issues: We weren't asked to sign waivers until after the kids started playing, which interrupted the start of the party. The laser tag (included in our booking) wasn't ready -- the staff said the equipment was still charging. The staff's attitude was dismissive and unhelpful throughout. After the party ended, we stayed about 30 minutes to clean up the room -- something most places understand is part of the process. The next day, when we asked for our $300 deposit refund, we were told it was being withheld because we "stayed 50 minutes longer." That's unreasonable. We were cleaning up, not extending the party, and the children had mostly left. To make things worse, when we tried to discuss this issue, the staff was rude and unprofessional. The facility itself wasn't well maintained -- we even found garbage in the ball pit. Between the lack of communication, poor management, and the unfair way they handled the deposit, I cannot recommend this business to anyone. There are so many better options that actually value their customers. Spend your money elsewhere -- you'll get better service and less stress.

The decor was amazing! It matched what we saw in their website and Instagram. It also came with pizza and juice for the kids and unlimited play. I was allowed to bring additional food and other snacks and they were kind enough to help me set up and plate the food. One tip would be to confirm the arrival of the pizza time. Our was suppose to arrive at 1230 (party started at 12) and it didn't arrive until 130 because of the rain. The pizza is ordered from a pizza shop so it had to be delivered. They were super nice and apologetic about it. The play area is huge and something for everyone. Although it might be hard to track your kid. It also felt cleaner than other indoor playgrounds that we've been too. We would definitely be back!
