We want to try the classes she offers as well- slime etc. They do birthday parties and I love everything about this play space- clean and FUN and so many new toys to keep the littles entertained with seating for working parents.

I took my son here for a birthday party. I found the place to be fun for the kids but rather…read moredisorganized. The hosts had a hard time finding their minder. Everything seemed a little chaotic. The overhead speakers were very hard to understand. The place was so loud that it was hard to have a conversation. The birthday party's stated hours were over, but the kids hadn't yet done their laser tag. The staff did not try to stop the playing until well after the closing time. But the kids did love it. The overhead "zip lining" looked pretty cool. The spinning bumper cars looked like fun (my son liked trying to drive around while upside down). I do wish that I knew that the disorganized staff would be able to handle a mishap, but thankfully, we didn't test them.

Came in after getting tickets as a Christmas gift and my first impression was wow!…read moreYou walk in and they still had Christmas decorations up so there was inflatables and Christmas lights. It was so beautiful and when you look back, you see a walkway. I'm just different things for the kids to do. They had a slide with a ball pit. They have a little race track and push on cars. There is a second level of fun that adults are tall enough for and you could climb through with your kids. Also there was more fun in the back and a party area for birthdays. I liked that they had a concession area with snacks and drinks. They even had hotdogs which we ordered. The price wasn't terrible for cheap hotdog. Honestly, we had such a blast of course my kids did not want to so leave highly recommend.

There is so much color and lighting everywhere. I put their socks on, (No shoes or bare feet allowed), one ran right into the big ball area. In the end they had an awesome time, burned off some energy and slept all the way home. Very clean, tons to do for all ages, there is even a second level for older kids and parents too. Some like to go with their kids the first time. We will be going back many times. They have a small kitchen area too for hot dogs and stuff. We didn't use that as we brought our own snacks for the kids.

Parking is limited but once you book your reservation an email is sent on instructions and information on additional parking. Two bathrooms which are very large in size and step stool for the kids to wash their hands. Play area very cool with a ball pit. In the front of the indoor play area is only for little ones. There is an area for shoes and bags in the front entrance. Cafe is small with limited seating, food and drinks are average.

To come, you have to reserve a spot (1-2hours) so this alleviates overcrowding. During summer, the morning time until 10:30am is for 3 year olds and younger only. During the rest of the year, it is open to the other ages. Apparently, this was not communicated clearly so some of my other mom friends with kids older than 3 were turned away upon arrival. It's beautiful inside. The colors, aesthetic, layout. The play area is gated off. Everything is baby proofed. Two story play area with climbing, ball pit, low stimulation touch screen game, mini trampolines, and more. There's a small area specifically for infants. I climbed around the entire structure as well. There's at least one worker supervising and cleaning the play area. The cafe is outside of the play area, but very close where you can supervise your child. There are also 4 cameras so you can see your child even if they're inside of or behind a structure. There are 2 large companion restrooms with diaper pails, stairs for toddlers to reach the sink, & most everything is touch free. I really appreciated how clean everything was. We will definitely be back!

The inflatables are pretty cool - well taken care of and in good shape. They are really steep lol kinda scary but ages 4& above would probably be ok without assistance.

Pump It Up is a great location to have your child's party. You can book right online or call in…read more The facility has different packages you can choose from to meet your needs. You can also do add on's like: glow party, balloon drop, etc. I chose the ultimate package and it was perfect for us. This package includes: Playtime in 2 Arenas (think bounce house fun), Celebration in party room (party room set-up and clean-up!),Dedicated Party Staff, Plates, napkins, cups & utensils, Online party invitations 1 - Balloon Bouquet 15 (included) 2 - 2 Liters (included) or you can choose Caprisuns instead 15 - Goodie Bag for party packages (included) 3 - Lg 1 Topping Pizza (included) I chose to add on extra pizza and drinks. The pizza is cut in 12 slices and comes from Pizza Hut which is right next door. I was given conflicting information about the drinks so I ended up paying extra. You are not allowed to bring your own food. They have other options you can add like a veggie platter, chicken wings etc. The staff wore thier masks and each room had sanitizer available for guests. Masks for guest recommended but not mandated (at least at the time I went). Prior to entering the celebration room, staff stupid at the door and provided hand sanitizer. In addition to the bounce houses there was also a couple of games machines and ball pit. You do need to pay extra for the machines. They're located in a plaza and there's plenty of parking. They provide a cart that makes transporting the gifts and any extra items a breeze. I would definitely recommend Pump It Up, everyone had a great time!

We went on a Saturday at 1pm and there was plenty of seating space and while it was busy, it didn't feel overwhelming like some of the other trampoline parks I've been to. The staff is young, but I would expect that at a trampoline park, they were all patient and nice at the front desk. I would definitely bring the kids here again to jump and play.

There's a little cafe setup for parents to hangout and relax a bit while their kids play and socialize (coffee, tea, soft drinks for purchase). There are even charging stations throughout incase some work needs to get done. In the middle there is a little table for around 6-8 kids and healthy snacks for purchase. The space is large enough to have a great time but not sooooo big that you feel exhausted trying to keep up. There are: - Reading nooks throughout with beautiful books for baby to child - discovery centers with busy boards and even a wind tunnel - construction zone - auto-body shop - play kitchen - baby doll nursery - cafe and market - a vet clinic - a huge soft slide to climb and play on (and under!) I know I'm still missing things but it's really well done. Darling wooden play materials throughout, Clean, organized, with lovely staff who love what they do.

We recently visited Kids Empire in Bradenton, and overall it was a mixed experience with both…read morepositives and drawbacks. Check-In & Pricing The check-in process is straightforward, but I highly recommend completing the waiver online before you go--it makes the entry much faster, especially when it's busy. Pricing, however, is on the steep side. Admission was the same almost $20 for my 15-month-old as for older kids, even though they barely used the equipment, including the toddler area. There are also attempts to upsell you on crane games and ride-on motorcycle machines, which adds to the feeling that the outing can get pricey fast. They sell food and drinks inside and prohibit outside food or beverages, which further pushes you toward additional purchases. Crowds & Atmosphere We visited on a Monday morning during a school holiday, and it was fairly busy. We stayed almost four hours just to feel like we were getting our money's worth. The temperature inside was surprisingly cold--uncomfortably so--and the disco room was not only freezing but also extremely loud. Cleanliness & Safety For the most part, the facility was clean. At one point a child had an accident in the play structure, and staff cleaned it up quickly--though unfortunately, our friends stepped in it before it was noticed. The bathrooms were clean early on but developed a noticeable urine smell as the day went on. In the baby area, someone had eaten Doritos in the ball pit, and my toddler kept finding orange crumbs, which was pretty gross. Safety-wise, some of the climbing structures need attention. The tower had open holes that felt unsafe, especially for smaller or less coordinated kids. Supervision & Environment Most parents seemed attentive, but a noticeable handful were either working on laptops or absorbed in their phones, leaving their kids to roam unattended. This isn't fully the facility's fault, but it does affect the overall atmosphere and safety - especially for smaller children. Food Policy The food available for purchase is mostly junk food--chips, Takis, sugary applesauce pouches, etc. Because outside food isn't allowed, we had to step outside so our kids could have healthier snacks. Unfortunately, the immediate outside area isn't in the nicest neighborhood, and there's nowhere to sit. At the very least, a bench outside would be a thoughtful addition for families trying to accommodate dietary needs or simply avoid feeding their kids junk. Overall Kids Empire offers a large, engaging indoor playground that kids enjoy, and it's reasonably clean. But the high price, upselling, cold environment, safety concerns in some structures, and restrictive food policy make it far from perfect.
