    After enjoying having play dates at this establishment, we sadly will never return due to their handling of the pandemic by hosting non-masked events. I have to assume their carelessness extends to others areas of their business and children's safety.

    This was our first time here and my daughter ( almost 3) enjoyed it a lot. The staff is very friendly and showed us where to put our shoes and explained the rules to us. They have a large playground set with slides and little tunnels, small slides for smaller kids, and about 5 bounce houses. My daughter was a little intimidated at first by the bounce houses, but after she joined in with some other kids she did much better. When we were leaving, we noticed that they had a room where kids were doing crafts and they also have story time. Overall, this is a fun place for kids to get out their energy in an indoor setting. Only cons are that I wish there was better lighting for the bounce houses with tops (probably nothing can be done for that though) and maybe some more toys to play with like cars to roll around on or a play kitchen.

    They have a punch card arrangement as well for the open play days - which is a nice value.

    Triad coaches are wonderful. The business side is run by an amatuer. Billing fluctuates every month…read morebecause they add surcharges and random fees so you cannot figure out what your bill is going to be in advance. No statement is sent out. You get an email the day of the draft when the charges have already posted to your account. Operations Manager and owners are not available for questions and ignore all feedback. Front Desk staff is helpful but poorly equipped to answer any questions. For meets hosted by Triad you will volunteer a minimum of 20 hours for setup, tear down, and random shifts during the meet. If you cannot commit that much time you will be charged $200 to makeup for not volunteering. Expect tuition charges, team surcharges, uniform surcharges, associatoin fees, etc but won't be told in advance when you will be billed for it. You find out after the money is drafted out of your account electronically (electronic draft is a requirement). None of this is malicious, they just don't know what they are doing and since they are the only game in town they ignore any and all feedback. If there was another gymnastics option convenient to where I live I would definitely look into. It's too bad that such a great coaching staff works for a business that is managed so poorly.

    Always a hit with kids! We come here for the parties. I'm…read moresure it's just as fun as a play date/weekday jump session. A 2 hour party for 25 kids costs $345.00 for a weekend party. Includes pizza and pop. The party is jumping first for 1 hour and 15 minutes. They start in room A and then to room B. The two rooms have different inflatables. The first room has a huge bubble machine. The second room has a floor video game. The 45 minutes at the end is rounding up the kids into the party room to eat, look at pictures on the TV that the workers take via digital camera, and open presents. Service is ok. Employees are young people. Some are teenagers. So their service isn't above and beyond par. They get the party scheduled and moving. I do like this place compared to other competitors. The difference is that they know how to schedule the kids and move them along. It's easy to maneuver and not as chaotic when there are multiple parties going on. No idea how they clean the place in between parties. (Hopefully they DO clean...???) But we recommend Pump it Up.

    I took my little man to a birthday party here today and I was definitely impressed. This place is…read morea lot like Monkey Joes and The Playground in Ankeny. It is like Monkey Joes in that it is all inflatables. It is like The Playground in that it has different rooms with the play equipment in it. Of the three places mentioned I'd have to say I like this place the best. The facility has two big rooms and the two rooms have 6 inflatables total with three in each room. I posted pics of some of the inflatables. The big plus is that they have changed out and updated the inflatables unlike Monkey Joes who has had the same inflatables for years. Outside of the inflatables the rooms also have some small toys to play with and one room has a game that is broadcast onto the floor that the kids can stomp around on. As far as the birthday party went it was pretty cool. They start you out in one room for a set amount of time then move you to the second room for a set amount of time. Finally they move you into a party room for cake and presents. There were two people attached to the group and one person seemed to lead. He took pictures throughout the party and had them playing on a TV at the end. He also took notes and wrote down who gave what presents. All in all I'd definitely recommend Pump It Up for your kiddos and parties.

    White Willow Events truly made our wedding day more magical and perfect then we ever dreamed it…read morecould be! I was able to work with Molly Farrell as my planner and she CRUSHED it! Molly is so good at her job and I really didn't have any worries on my wedding day. She made my day a dream. The whole team is absolutely fantastic to work with. Unfortunately, we had a crazy time planning the wedding during COVID-19, but working with White Willow saved my day. I cannot thank them enough for all that they did to help us make it the best day ever!

    My overall experience when dealing with white willow was disappointing and unsatisfactory. For…read morecouples with large wedding budgets, I am sure white willow events does a sufficient job. For couples with a smaller budget, I would strongly recommend talking to a different decorators/planners. Since I was paying for the entire wedding out of my own pocket without help from either of our parents, I would say I had a much smaller budget that other brides who hire white willow. When looking back through the emails and reflecting on my wedding day, I feel like I was never made a priority because of my smaller wedding budget. In the days prior to my wedding, I felt that my opinion and concerns became looked over or "pushed under the rug". Taylor's responses to my emails were very curt and short. I tried to set up a meeting to discuss my concerns in the week prior to my wedding, and she said she was too busy. Being told that she was "too busy" in the week prior to the wedding showed that I was not a priority to her. To conclude it all, there was extensive confusion about the tear down of the venue afterwards. Some of her staff was incredibly rude to the wedding party, who was only trying to help because there was no one in the wedding party knew we did not need to tear down the decorations (would have been nice to have that meeting the week prior to discuss details like this...). My sister-in-law found one of the white willow workers throwing decorations we had provided into the trash and then pouring the water and wax over them from floating candles.
