    It really feels like checking into a whole little city which is such a neat and creative concept…read morefor kids! I haven't seen anything quite like it. Everything is so well thought out: there are eateries where kids can make their own pizza or learn how yogurt is made (and then enjoy it!), a gym, pest control station, bank, fire station, theatre, news set, Spotify recording studio, flight simulator, the list truly goes on. How cute is it to "check in" at an airport security line? I absolutely loved that concept as it was both a clever and immersive touch! However I'd like to think it was meant to function as a real security checkpoint as well, but I did notice that even when alarms went off, people weren't actually checked. Entering a place full of kids, that was a bit concerning. It's a great idea, but I hope they take that extra step to ensure it's not just for show and that safety is truly prioritized. I also appreciated that it wasn't overly crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more enjoyable. From chatting with others, it sounds like that's not always the case, and I can imagine it would feel overwhelming if it were packed. That said, I do wish more of the "establishments" and activities had been open. It seemed extremely short-staffed, and quite a few areas were closed or without staff to guide the kids. I would've loved to see the theatre in use, the taco stands open, and the upstairs space available -all of those plus many others were closed during our visit. For the activities that were open, the staff seemed stretched thin and outnumbered by the children. There really needs to be a better system for timing and scheduling. Maybe a sign-up or reservation system for each activity would help -- running from line to line only to be told it's full (or canceled) gets frustrating. I think that's what the Fast Passes were meant for, but even then, breaking up groups that had already been waiting together felt inconvenient. Allowing everyone to reserve activity times would make for a smoother, more enjoyable experience for guests and staff alike. The wristbands were a great idea, definitely appreciated and necessary. They keep parents and kids honest about ages and ensure kids only join age-appropriate activities. They also track their "earnings" and likely serve as a security measure too, which I loved. However, with the short staffing, there needs to be a better process for scanning them in and out of each area. Waiting for scans, especially on the way out, delayed us from getting to our next scheduled activity several times. The adults only IKEA inspired lounge was a nice touch for those with slightly older children who can run around more independently. For the age group I was with, and given how unorganized the staff and session timings were, there was no way we could've left their side but I can definitely see that space being a great perk for other adults. This is what I could understand adults being charged for, outside of being able to simply get away with it as you can't and wouldn't send your children in unattended, I don't understand adult entrance fees. Other than it being a deterrent for those who do not have children to enter with. It would also be nice for maybe an informative video before entering to make kids aware of "earning" and what deducts from their total points, what's available to do, etc. almost like a "briefing before heading into the city" It's a fun and clever concept overall, but I think a few operational, staffing, and security improvements could make it truly exceptional. No photos to post as they include children. I didn't think to take photos of all of the empty, non operating areas. But again, it's truly its own little city with a variety of places.

    A Lawsuit Waiting to Happen - Overpriced and Unsafe If you…read moreare thinking about bringing your kids--especially teenagers--to Nerfies, save your money. This place is incredibly disorganized and honestly feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen. For the amount of money you spend to get in, absolutely nothing here is worth it. Here is what you need to know before you go: * Zero Staff Supervision: There are no staff members supervising the bounce room or the shooting area. Because of this, little kids are running wild with guns everywhere. * Not Teen-Friendly: Because the facility is overrun with unsupervised "littles," teenagers do not have a dedicated or safe place to actually play. If you have older kids, this is definitely not the place for you. * Broken Games: The "video game" area is a joke. They only have 12 older games, and only 4 of them actually work. * No Basic Amenities: There is absolutely nowhere to put your shoes. On top of that, they do not offer any food or drinks for sale, meaning you have to haul everything in yourself. Save yourself the headache and the money. We will not be returning.

This allowed for all of our participants to be involved and not worry about the general public and smaller kids! One of our participants was able to get out of his wheel chair and enjoy the bounce house! Oh the smiles! The employees interacted with our participants and even called them by name! We will definitely be back. We were able to bring our own lunch and had a place to sit. The AC was cranking -that was needed!

    Awesome park for kids all ages, multiple different areas for different age groups…read more Many sitting areas and the play areas are mostly fenced in beside the entrance which is nice

    If you're looking for the gold standard of playgrounds in Frisco (or honestly, anywhere nearby),…read moreHope Park is it. This is hands-down one of the most thoughtfully designed, beautifully maintained, and inclusive parks I've ever visited. The playground is massive, separated into different sections by age group, which is a lifesaver if you have both toddlers and older kids. Everything is built with accessibility in mind ramps, wide pathways, sensory features, musical instruments, and even mini pretend storefronts that spark imaginative play. The rubberized ground covering is such a bonus for safety too soft, clean, and comfortable for little ones learning to navigate the world. There's also a splash pad right next door, which is an absolute magnet on hot Texas afternoons. Shaded picnic tables and benches are scattered throughout the park, making it easy for parents and caregivers to relax without feeling like you have to hover the entire time. What makes Hope Park extra special is the heart behind it. It was created by the Frisco community with the dream of building a place where all children no matter their ability level could play side by side. You can feel that spirit when you're here. It's not just a playground; it's a celebration of inclusion, joy, and togetherness. Pro tip: It can get very busy on weekends, so early mornings or weekday evenings are perfect if you want more space to roam. Parking is plentiful, and restrooms are nearby. Five huge stars!

    As much as I am obsessed with the Barbie Mattel brand, I think the cost of this experience is a bit…read moreoverkill for the type of experience. It's located on the 2nd floor of the Stonebriar center, across from KidZania. The staff are all very pleasant. The cost per person was $44.00 and if you wanted to add the build-it Barbie customizable doll closet experience, it was an additional $55 per person. The actual entry includes varying interactive Barbie scenes such as her closet, space ship, the beach, pool (ball pit), her Barbie camper, music studio just to name a few. You basically take pics with different backdrops. It's nice but not at $44.00. I got the build-it add experience so I can review it. You will get a Barbie that's probably worth less than $10 in store. There weren't a lot of options to choose from. You get a beautiful commemorative box to put everything in. You get to pick 2 pairs of shoes, 3 accessories and only 2 clothing items, which means you get either 1 outfit or 2 dresses. I wish they gave the option to have two complete dress items. The outfits are not the high quality that you remember as a kid and the shoes are actually ill fitting for the Barbie's feet. Not worth $55 but for a little less would be a nice experience. When I went there was a spring break sale my entire ticket was 30% off, which made this experience a more appropriate for the price.

The app recommended 60 mins but 30-45 is more reasonable. It wasn't crowded and most all of the other patrons were considerate. Tons of photo opportunities! Some even brought their own lighting but no one took an unreasonable amount of time anywhere. No food or drinks allowed but there is a bathroom. Bring the hand sanitizer! There is a ball pit, drums to play, mic to sing, DJ and science area. The gift shop had Barbie's starting at $7 and going up to $55. Pencils w/ erasers were $3, potted plant in a Barbie vase were $12 or $15. Overall, it was cute but admission was a bit high IMO.
