The eating area is spacious and has plenty of tables. The food is actually better than expected - especially the pizza. Reasonably priced as well. The only slight complaint is the very young staff.

All the staff members are standing around talking or on their phones. No one picks up the toys or maintenance the games which is a bummer since we pay a good amount for the arcade section and most of the games are broken or have missing pieces The tables where people eat are never cleaned, trash left on the tables. Looks very dirty and uninviting. Staff needs to do a better job cleaning and bussing the tables especially when it's busy. I've been here about 5 times and I see no improvements. Last time I stayed till closing and I finally saw the staff barely picking up everything. But they closed the restrooms off while my daughter needed to use it and they wouldn't let her

Not only do the kids have a blast, but it's honestly the…read moreonly indoor play place I feel completely comfortable taking them because of how clean it is. I constantly see the owner and employees wiping surfaces down and keeping everything spotless. It's also perfectly sized -- small enough that you can easily keep an eye on your kids, but still fun and engaging for them. Parents can actually relax a little while still being involved. We've also attended two birthday parties here, and both were such amazing experiences. Highly recommend for both playtime and parties!

Friendly service, very clean, and so much fun for my kids. So much so, it's hard for me to convince them to leave! For me, I can get some work done in the front where there are tables and chairs, lots of natural light and even complimentary coffee. Easily one of the best indoor play places in our area. My kids say it's their favorite!

This is the second visit in the past two months, and once again the bathroom is out of order. There…read moreis no working restroom inside the facility. This is unacceptable for a children's playground. Kids play, get dirty, and need to wash their hands or use the restroom. Parents are forced to leave the playground and walk through the mall to find a bathroom, which is unsafe and inappropriate for young children. The front desk staff were rude and unprofessional. When concerns were raised, there was no explanation, no apology, and no effort to help. One of the play areas has been out of service for months, showing a clear lack of maintenance. I also did not see a business license displayed, nor any customer service contact information available at the front desk. Because this business serves children, I strongly believe the City of Thousand Oaks should visit this location, verify proper licensing, and ensure it meets basic health, safety, and operational requirements. At minimum, a kids' facility must have a working restroom and hand-washing access. Until these issues are addressed, I do not recommend this place to parents.

I cannot express how nice and gracious the staff were. They were so accommodating and made sure all race car riders were safe and everyone in the arcade had no issues. They had every arcade game imaginable as well as an interactive AI experience, a pool table that most adults enjoyed, air hockey, bowling, so many claw machines... I definitely plan on coming back and planning my son's birthday party here!! And I'm coming back to win the big bear!!! I was so close!! The space, the staff, the activities... all top quality and excellent! A++++ Highly recommended!!

Not a pleasant experience, especially when you're trying to celebrate a 3-year-old's birthday…read more We called ahead and spoke to the owner Lucine, who told us the soft play area had a private party but the arcade and kart racing were open to the public. We called again when we were 30 minutes out to ask about height requirements. Our call was missed -- and they called us back, so they had our number. We drove from Simi Valley to Sherman Oaks to find the entire place shut down for a private event. When we arrived, Lucine informed us that the party had upgraded their package, which resulted in the entire venue being booked. They had time to make signs for the party but couldn't take two minutes to call us back and save us the trip. Or save my 3-year-old the disappointment. When I said I'd be sharing my experience, Lucine handed over free passes -- then asked if I'd still be leaving a review. That told me everything about the gesture. It wasn't an apology. It was damage control. We may give them another chance, but this visit was sloppy and unprofessional. Call ahead if you're planning a trip. And maybe call twice. Edit to add: I already noted in my original review that an attempt was made to remedy the situation -- bringing it up again here with a dollar figure attached feels more like a rebuttal than a genuine response. For accuracy, what was offered to my three children was two rides and an arcade card each. I'd also push back on the characterization that it was 'gladly accepted.' When you're walking out the door disappointed with three kids, accepting something in the moment isn't the same as feeling made whole. As for the 155 five-star reviews -- a business that opened in September with 155 Google reviews but only 21 on other platforms raises valid questions. That kind of gap doesn't happen organically. It happens when customers are specifically directed to one platform. An honest review is not an attack. I shared our experience so other families can make informed decisions, and I stand by every word of it.

Arrival and check in was easy, but it did get a little crowded with multiple parties checking in at the same time. You leave your shoes in the front and are provided with grippy socks. The facility is clean, and you can see the thoughtfulness throughout. They had shoes for people to wear for the bathroom. The bathroom sinks had stools for the little ones. Even the side entrance by the party rooms had shoes available! My LO is 2 1/2, and I thought this place was perfect for her age. I can see kids aging out around 8-10, depending on size. She had so much fun. There was a private event and we definitely stayed until we had to leave. 10/10 would come again! Looking forward to the next time we go.

Everything is super colorful and set up in a way that actually keeps them entertained instead of getting bored after 10 minutes. One thing I really appreciated was how clean it was. That's always my biggest concern with indoor play places, and this one felt really well taken care of. The staff were also really nice and present without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. There's a good mix of things to do too--areas for younger kids and enough going on for slightly older ones so no one feels left out. It's one of those places where kids can just run around and be kids while parents can actually sit for a second and breathe. Overall, it just felt easy, fun, and stress-free. Definitely a spot I'd come back to or recommend to other parents looking to get their kids out of the house.

Plenty of seating for parents, and honestly, it's one of those rare places where both kids AND adults leave happy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, stress-free place to let the kids burn energy and have a blast. We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic from Beginning to End!!!…read more I Googled indoor party venues near me and this location came up and had great reviews and now I know why! Kelsie and her crew (Sophia, Rebecca & Mattie) did a phenomenal job for my granddaughter's 1st birthday party. Kelsie herself was a complete blessing!!! She is an amazing & very thorough party planner. From the first phone call inquiry, answering all my questions and kept me in the loop for anything else via email or phone call until the party date. When you read, with the VIP package all you need to do is show up with your child, that's literally all you have to do! The food and beverages were excellent choices. Everyone from children to adults enjoyed themselves! Thank you again Kelsie & crew for a wonderful, stress free celebration! We'll see you again in February for my other granddaughter's 4th birthday!

This is truly a hidden gem! I'm always searching around for new aquarium stores to visit and I…read morestumbled upon this amazing place today. I had just finished my shift at work nearby and wondered if there were any good saltwater stores nearby. I searched on Yelp and found this place. The store is run in a townhome and the only way you would know about it is by word of mouth or looking online, so it truly is a hidden gem ;). Jason was fantastic! He has a nice little setup that has one of the most amazing collection of corals I've seen in a compact space. If you're an sps guy like me, then this is the place to go to. He also has a nice variety of lps and softies. All of the corals are in great health and are thriving. I bought with confidence! Jason also has amazing prices on his selection of livestock and dry goods so it really is hard to complain about anything. He was really accommodating on my visit and made sure to answer any questions I had. If there is something that isn't there and you would like to get your hands on, just let him know and he will get it for you. I can't believe I drove by this place so many times without taking the time to drop by. I'm really glad I found this place as I will be back very soon for another splurge! It is hard to leave this place without wanting to buy something! Thanks Jason! Edit: also a tip, it would be a good idea to give him a call before arriving to see if he is available to open shop as he is in and out of shop sometimes.
