I visited Play City in Rancho Cucamonga with my four kids, and I honestly thought the place itself was very clean, cute, and well-kept. The employees were all very nice and helpful, and the person in charge was amazing and handled everything professionally. I really appreciated how kind and understanding the management was.
Unfortunately, there was an incident involving another child repeatedly pushing my daughter down the slide and rushing her while she was trying to go down. We've dealt with bullying before, so I teach my kids that they should never allow someone to push them around or put their hands on them. My daughter felt like the child wasn't listening, and eventually my daughter hit her.
That's when the other child's father came over to me very aggressively to address my daughter hitting his child, without acknowledging that his child had repeatedly been pushing and rushing my daughter down the slide. I calmly told him that he did not need to speak to me that way, and instead of de-escalating the situation, he became even more upset and said he was getting a manager.
I spoke with the manager and explained what had happened, including the part he apparently didn't witness. She was very kind and understanding.
I then went back to sitting in the ball pit with my kids, and I noticed this man turn completely around to look directly at me in what felt like an attempt to taunt me. I waved back and started recording because I wanted to document what was happening. He then started shouting and began recording me, even though I had already told him to stop speaking to me and leave me alone.
At that point, I was the one who went to get a manager because I did not want this situation escalating in front of my children. Unfortunately, the man then proceeded to follow me and my four kids around, telling us he was going to call the police because my child had "assaulted" his child. My kids were crying and scared, and I was simply trying to get away from the situation.
What really bothers me is that if you're going to confront another parent about something your child was involved in, you should at least acknowledge the entire situation, not just the part that makes your child look like the victim.
I will say this: Play City absolutely made things right. They refunded all of my money , which I really appreciated. I would definitely go back because I genuinely liked the facility and the staff but i will not all just because of that overgrown boy mad that he probably needed another dose of steroids!! We can tell and with that demeanor how he speaks to women and makes children cry no regard for other children but is ok with his kid being ugly and taking zero accountability for their actions!!
Unfortunately, it seemed like this particular dad was a regular there, so I think I'll pass on the "steroid lover" and men who apparently have issues with women standing up for themselves . I'm good on that. Also not once was he watching his kid not once had his back towards the play area the whole time so
Overall, great facility, great employees, great management -- just one very unpleasant parent who completely ruined what should have been a fun day with my kids and it's also her birthday so thank you for making all my girls cry on one of their birthdays what a guy!!! I'm giving 3 stars because of boys like this that are allowed in not to mention he was standing outside the bathroom being weird! read more
