Took my niece and nephews here the day after Christmas. There was a steady flow of kids coming and…read moregoing but it didn't feel busy. There's lots of room to run around and not feel crowded which is a plus, especially the day after Christmas. I liked that the lines were short waits to help kids maximize the fun. They require everyone participating to get Urban Air socks (they're like thinner hospital socks with grip at the bottom) as no shoes are allowed for play. The socks were helpful in reducing slips but the two times it was annoying was when you needed to go to the bathroom and when riding the slide the grip on the socks made sliding down hard. Staff was relatively friendly and handled kids and adults well when strapping on harnesses. I purchased the group play pass which included 3 kids and 2 adults + socks, 1 large 1 topping pizza, 3 small icees and 2 sodas for about $130 after tax. It was fun for kids and participating adults. If you're purchasing tickets and socks individually it gets expensive fast so consider the group play pass. For the cost of one adult and two kids, socks, pizza and drinks it was only about $30 difference so it's definitely more bang for your buck. When buying tickets online it makes you choose a date and time but I had called and confirmed you aren't stuck with that time and the tickets are valid for 90 days or 1 year (the staff I spoke with couldn't recall). If you're worried about weight or height restrictions there's a minimum height for certain activities but there isn't a listed max so just keep in mind that these are designed for kids so even at my short stature (5'2") I had to crouch a bit for some things. For weight capacity for trampolines they said it's 250lbs and for harness activities it's 230lbs. With that said I think there needs more supervision both from parents and staff. There were lots of little ones running around unsupervised and staff are really only located at harness activities. One younger boy had wiped out in the ball pit against the edge for entry/exit. It is padded but a hard and fast fall will hurt. I asked if he was okay and he said yes but he looked again he was bleeding from the mouth. I had to locate both the adult he came with and then a worker since some of the balls had blood on it. The worker had notified someone on a walkie talkie but I don't think anything was done about the bloodied balls.

We came to Urban Air for my nephews 6th birthday party. We rented the "rooftop" party room with…read morehost and the party upgrade for the kids wristbands which meant they had access to the entire space with no restrictions. We arrived 12:40pm with our decorations and cake on the day of the party. Immediately I could sense there was a problem. After standing around for about 10 minutes I finally asked if the room was ready and where was the host? A young kid finally appeared and said I'm here for Cameron's party. He led us upstairs but said nothing. No introduction, no run down of what to expect. Finally I asked him his name. He passed out socks to 5-7 year olds and gave them wristbands but that's it. The kids began to run around. Again now it's 10 after 1 and I asked him what is the plan? He said what do you mean? I'm asked him do you make an announcement? Do they just go what's happening when do you begin to host? He said they are free to go (epic fail). The space was quite large it was a closed off room and then another larger space with three couches, 2 high top tables, no side tables and it was upstairs away from everything so the fact that there was no formal directions, or announcement made by the party host was very confusing. We told the kids they could go and off they went. Everything with the kids was fine for about 20 minutes then some of the adults and kids came back saying they were being turned away from some of the activities. My sister was handling the food order so we didn't get it addressed right away. Fast forward we were supposed to eat at 2:30. Only half of the pizza came out (the other half came out after we did cake), we had no water other than the warm bottles that was set out when we got there, when I asked the kitchen/ordering area for water because we could not find our host (a trend for most of the party) I was told "oh no we don't do all that". I ordered French fries and was given a tray of old cold, French fries. The wristbands the kids were given were wrong and they were not corrected until after we ate which was at 3:15 (the party ended at 4). We could not find the host to get the things we needed, I had him paged many times and he didn't come ... overall this was terrible service. For the amount of money my sister paid for this party nothing was given. We did all the work. I do not recommend this location of urban air. I'm also leaving out the details related to the dirty furniture, the unkept restrooms and the rude staff at the cafe.

Things to know:…read more 1)There's a a fee to enter and another to rent skates. Because I was accompanying kids and didn't plan to skate, there was no entry fee. 2) There's an online schedule showing the different event times, and when applicable target ages. We brought my partners kids on a Thursday during the 5p-7:30p slot because 8-10p was 21+ (that day). The 5p slot didnt list ages, but tuns out it was mostly little kids. Additional teens and older people started showing up later, but still seemed younger age focused (with group games like hula hoop). 3) There's a decent number of arcade games for the space. If you don't have quarters, you can use the change machine. While the assortment of games was good, my gripe is that we counted 84 tickets won playing. However their ticket counting machine only accounted for 66. While the experience was okay, I think it's a nice option with a good selection of music, decent sized rink, fair pricing (cant speak for concessions) and a nostalgic feel. Check it out for yourself.

Also like that you can buy unlimited play for an hour so you don't even have to worry about points per game and that you can just buy tickets for a penny a ticket for those kids that didn't so much win tickets but just had a good time. Appreciate that they offer Sensory Sensitive Sundays the first Sunday of the month that gives kids a chance to enjoy themselves without the crowds and overstimulating sounds from all of the games. You can really tell the difference in the noise level when those hours are over.

Granted there are "cheaper" party options…read morethat you can try but at the same time, it's not like a birthday comes around every day and like you'd be throwing a Chuck E. Cheese party every birthday---so, go for it, if you can. The kids enjoyed their time. Lots of fun games and things to do for the kids. There's an adventure park area with trampoline for an additional cost. The pizza, is surprisingly tasty so don't sleep on it. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially for my large group of neurodivergent kids. They were able lower the volume to accommodate our kiddos and help keep them calm. I'm sure you could stop in with just your kiddos and do your own birthday celebration if you wanted without the extra costs/bells and whistles.

You head to their website ahead of time to schedule the day and pay in advance. They provide a door code cause it's unmanned to enter. The code will let you in. Then you have a full day to play. You can even leave and come back later. Lots of fun options for kiddos. Playground, reading room, basketball area, soccer area, ninja area, toddler area, etc. They even have an area for you to eat (bring in food if you wish or they have vending machines). Clean up after yourself (please). Great option to get the wiggles out on a cold or snowy winter day!

They have a few little creatures for kids to climb and slide. It's a nice enclosed area with seating around the perimeter along the windows and wall. It can be very slippery with socks on and that is required. No good or drinks allowed but of course there is always someone that will break the rules. It's nice because you don't have to pay. Them there's a little arcade of riding toys outside as well as a train ride that is available to go around on the first level by Kohl's. They have a stroller parking right outside the play area and so the room is not crowded. It's clean for the most part.

My kiddos love Chuck E. Cheese! They are 6 and 8 and have been enjoying celebrating their summer…read morebirthdays here the past few years. The birthday package is great for $99. Can't beat it! We loved that it came with a bronze summer pass so the kids got to keep coming the rest of the summer. It will come with lots of perks and deals, we decided to take advantage of the 50% off deal on food. We know their pizza is pretty tasty. We wanted to check out the other stuff they had and I will say you can pass on it. The fries were not good and the wings were soft, not crispy like you'd want. Barely any sauce on them. Chuck E. Cheese is not the place you want to go for food but if you are hungry while the kids play you can get a pizza but I'd skip the rest. Don't expect great service, it's a bunch of teenagers working here. I've noticed the games break down a lot but they are always rotating games in and out so it changes it up.

This huge indoor facility must have opened recently, because I would've noticed it sooner otherwise. Conveniently located just a few blocks from the heart of downtown St. Paul this place is just a short drive for me. I went on my own on a Saturday afternoon and found just a single group playing. The staff was quite helpful and quickly got me setup and a rundown of the basics, then grouped me with the rest of the paintballers. I lucked out - the whole day stayed quiet, but I was still able to meet lots of great people, from age 12 to 40. If you need to get out of the house, it's hard to beat running around a huge course, diving behind inflatable barriers and shooting a bunch of people you just met. If I had been able to enjoy the fun for a little less $$ then this would be a 5 star for sure!

Just went here recently with my 2 toddlers and was impressed with the new updated facilities and…read moreeverything the water park had to offer. They were recently upgraded and renamed to "Splash Valley Water Park" and the upgrades look amazing. There's a huge splash pad area, kids slide & water table, zero depth wading pools, and a lazy river. This is in addition to the 6 adult slides that they already have - a couple of them use tubes. The park is huge and you can easily spend several hours here. We spent 3 hours and that was plenty of time, though I probably could have spent more if I didn't have my kids with me! The downside was the cost - $14 a person for anyone 2 and above. It's very pricey for a family of 4. But I do feel like it was worth it for the amount of fun we had. There are hourly 5 min breaks from the pool - I'm not sure why, maybe a safety check? They also don't allow phones anywhere near the water even if you have a waterproof case. I was surprised because other pools do allow it. Another thing that I didn't like was that a lifeguard yelled to put my lazy river tube on the other far end of the tube storage area - and then she walked towards that area. I had to get my toddler who can't swim from my husband and I'm also heavily pregnant so I couldn't move the tube right away. Would have been nice to get some help instead if she was already walking that way. Despite this I had an overall good experience and plan to visit again in the future.
