    Nice staff, clean and sanitized play structure for the kids. Would definitely come back. Wish they had free play sometime durning the weekends.

    A fun place for kids' parties! We attended a 5-year-old's birthday party here last weekend, and my kids had a blast. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the event was well organized. Their bounce structures included a large enclosure for jumping around, a short obstacle course, a very small toddler-sized slide, a moderately steep slide, and an extremely steep slide. They also had some large foam building blocks perfect for building a fort. Tables and chairs made it comfortable for adult guests to relax while the staff supervised the bounce structures. The party packages include an option to add pizza (which tasted ok but was nothing fancy) and juice boxes, and they don't allow outside food to be served except for birthday cake. It would certainly be less expensive to hold a party at your own home, rent a bounce house, and order some cheap pizza. However, I think it's worth checking this place out if you're looking for an easy full-service event where the staff supervises the children (only to an extent, of course!), serves food to the party guests, and cleans up afterwards. After the party, I read a Yelp review that mentioned they allow adults on the bounce structures here. Could this be true?! I wish I had known because those slides sure looked fun!

    Polite, professional, and courteous staff. Their job is hard, but they do it well. The kids had plenty of fun and the staff was very punctual in their efforts to keep everyone on track. I would definitely return with the baby whenever there is a party here. Thanks for the good clean time. This may be the shortest review I've done to date.

    Super stars assistant to my daughters party!  Thank you London and Xio

    With two kids we have been here several times at friend's bday celebrations. Today however is my lil ones' 4th birthday party with her lil friends. Knowing the weather can be iffy in the early winter/spring, it was a safe bet to host it here. The fee is per child not counting infants. The party packages vary depending on whether you need gift bags photos balloons included. The midrange package for 25 kids was $430 with soda and pizza for a Monday. Weekend is higher in prices. Kids juices were supposed to be included but apparent they had none . Thankfully we brought our own case of mini Arrowhead water bottles. Goodie bags were extra which we made our own. Management designated two assistants to help the host supervise kiddos, take pictures and set up room, cut and distribute cake slices pour drinks pass out pizzas and also clean up. "London" and "Xio" or super courteous and nice! I really appreciated their help and gave a tip to both. So the upside is the kids got to go nuts have fun in a semi contained space. Lots of fun bounce houses slides tunnels etc for them to enjoy = lots of smiles! No need to clean up is a plus for this momma. Everyone having a blast is a major plus in this cold and rainy January. Overall I give it a 4 as $17+ per child is a little more than what parents want to pay for. Cake was not included. I feel because they forgot about kids juices we should have gotten a credit back of some sort.

    Hella fun :)

The staff was incredibly nice, organized, and helpful, which made the whole party feel stress-free. The facility was very clean and there was so much variety for the kids to do -- climbing wall, arcade games, obstacle course, giant jumping pad, and plenty of space to run around and play. Every kid had an amazing time, and multiple parents told me afterward that they would love to have their own child's birthday party there. Highly recommend for a fun and easy birthday party!

Off the bat, I want to say this is one of the more affordable indoor playgrounds I've been to (some I've gone to will charge for adults?!) and there was no time limit (some places give you a time limit of how long you can play for) so that was a plus. They do require you to purchase their socks (can't be grippy socks from anywhere else) but even with the socks and day pass, I want to say it was only $35? The kids loved running around the swing ropes, the indoor playground with slide, and the big bouncy thingy under the bouldering wall. My only concern about the bouncy thingy by the bouldering wall is there aren't any safety rails or things around it and I can't tell if it's safer with or without it but I definitely needed to stay close by in case he bounced off the entire cushion thingy. If you have highly sensitive little ones or neurodivergent kiddos, this place may be a tad overstimulating with the arcade right smack dab in the middle. Like other reviewers had mentioned, it would be nice if the arcade was slightly away from the physical play so that kids aren't distracted/overstimulated by the arcade screens. We did eventually end our outing at the arcades (spent another $40 on the game card...sigh) but luckily we won a big jackpot from one of the games to make it all worth it! Of note, you can't really wear your shoes in the bathroom which is kinda gross so bear that in mind. All in all, definitely one of the better indoor playgrounds in the Bay Area!

Appreciate their positive energy. I'd like to note that their policy allows for entrance 10m before party time, but not after? Strange. I had a 2-hour party and I believe it should have been strongly discouraged for a party of my size. I didn't anticipate how rushed it would feel, nor that overage time would be charged by the minute at the end. While I understand their policy and did read about it beforehand, I would have appreciated a clearer recommendation during our initial communications. Given the size of my party (and I had extra people I didn't expect to show up come), more time was realistically needed for setup and breakdown, and a heads-up from peek a boo team would have been helpful, as they are the professionals.

    I frequent this place because it's nearby, parking is convenient, and there is enough to do for a…read morecouple of hours in a safe indoor place. It costs $18 per child for a full day with ins and outs (only weekdays) which is great if you have freedom during the week. It''s $14 per child under 1 years old which is pricey in my opinion however they are free if they are accompanied by a paid sibling. Really no reason to bring a kid under one here unless you're trying to entertain an older sibling. They say there's only 1 adult per child playing but me and my husband have come with just one kid before. Need to have peek-a-boo factory socks which are $3. Here's what they list on their website along with my comments: Junior Play Area (3 - 12 yrs old)- I'd say 12 is a little on the older side for what they have. Ideally 3-8 although I'm sure 8+ kids will have fun. Just hard when there are mostly younger kids around. Toddler/Baby Play Area (0 - 3 yrs old): here there are a couple of slides which kids like, a wood train set that doesn't have correct pieces to piece together (but not many kids will notice), a magnetic wall with gears that adults have to fix for the kids since they are usually pulled apart, very little food for the play kitchen which looks a little dirty, some velcro shapes that don't stick very well to the wall, and the glow up pegs you can stick into the board. It's hard to tell that they light up since the area is well lit in general. There are some duplos with a small lego table and some large cushion lego pieces you can help the kids play with if you are hands on. There's also a music section but sometimes the wall pieces are broken, as well as a large mat piano. Overall, not the best area for 0-3 year olds but it will keep them busy while their older siblings play. Rock Wall- I've never seen anyone on this and wonder if it's just for parties. It's a fairly narrow climb so straightforward. Interactive Games- they are setting up more and more of these money makers and making them flashy and loud to get kids attention. I don't really enjoy these but they include a whack-a-mole, a mini air hockey table, a motorcycle ride that they've had forever with tom from tom and jerry, a stomping game, and a couple of aiming type games. It's overpriced and I'd rather see other options that don't dig into pockets. Huge Party Room- I haven't had a party here so can't say much. Snack Bar- nice to have an option for rushed parents but everything is marked well up. Includes apple sauce pouches, honest juice, and bunch of other packaged snacks from $1+ Parents Seating Area- ample seating on cushions or chairs with small circular tables. Water Fountains- near bathrooms which are large and tidy single rooms. Free WiFi- works fine. Free Indoor Parking Lot- one of the hugest perks of this place. Overall, we like this place and come monthly for its convenience. I think it would be better if they revamped the toddler section and considered something other than the dollar arcade machines. They also have a section of treats/coin machines near the bathrooms, but I would rather see an interactive wall or something educational/interesting.

It was $15, which was well worth it. The place is small but cute and was packed with kids ranging from 1-4 years old. She was so excited to play in the ball pit and structures. They have little areas set up for imagination play such as a veterinarian area, a grocery check out area with play food and shopping carts, little play houses, reading nooks, blocks areas, so much to play with and explore. It's so cute to see her figure out all of these play areas. We hung out at the tables in the back and let her enjoy herself with all of the other little kids.

Other reviews are spot on, though. The lines can get long, it feels overcrowded pretty quickly, and the staff doesn't seem particularly engaged (at all). None of that is ideal, but honestly, I can look past those things. My biggest concern is the age range. During our visit this morning, there were several older kids (around 10-12 years old) tearing through the play areas, running up slides clearly marked not to do so, and pushing past both adults and younger children. I watched two babies get knocked over, tears and all. While I believe parents should absolutely manage their kids' behavior, the age gap itself feels like the core issue. Having toddlers and babies in the same play area doesn't feel safe. I understand the challenge: families with younger kids and older siblings want a place everyone can enjoy, and birthday parties often include mixed ages. But the reality is that older kids are naturally more rambunctious, and there's nothing wrong with that. This space just isn't designed for them. Ultimately, it feels like an accident waiting to happen. Great concept and a hit with younger kids, but the lack of age separation makes it hard to feel fully comfortable from a safety standpoint.

The dining area is quite small so if you are expecting more than 30 total people, you will feel like sardines. Arcade: Geared towards young kids, but they also have skeeball. Birthday packages are on the pricey side (starting at $750) so probably would wait until kids are at least 4-5 so that they can enjoy everything.
