I…read morewas looking for an opportunity to expose my almost 2-year-old daughter to gymnastics without having a huge commitment (or expense) given that she is still so young. Achieve gymnastics center was the perfect fit as they offer preschool open gyms Monday through Friday from 10 to 11. There is a drop in rate of eight dollars per class and parents can be present to help guide their children through a variety of activities. The coaches and owners are beyond nice, and great with the children. There is a large space with mats, tumble track, foam pit and slide, obstacle courses, hula hoops, and everything your child would need to have a great time! They even have a little basket of beanie baby stuffed animals, which was perfect for my somewhat shy daughter to help her feel more secure in a new space. The open gym ended with a goodbye song and a sticker once shoes were on. The facility also has a larger gym for big kids and adult classes. Four bathrooms are available and toddler toilet seats are installed! There is also a party room space which looks like it would be so fun for a kids birthday event! Today was our first time trying it out and my daughter absolutely loved it. I can't wait to go back.

I've been here twice with my toddler. Once during weekday open play & once for her 2 year birthday…read moreparty (paid for the 2nd floor). We had an enjoyable time during open play on the 2nd floor (basically deserted on a weekday around 2pm. They do have an after school program so it gets a bit busier then). Regarding the birthday party, we would definitely hold more parties here in the future and several of my friends who have kids said they wanted to have their kids' birthdays here as well. Pros Tons of fun stuff for kiddos to do (and even the adults were playing air hockey/skee ball) Mostly clean Great to have a fridge, sink, bathroom, tables & chairs on the 2nd floor Pretty good price for what you get (and you get to bring in your own food/cake) and a 2hr time slot Suggestions for Improvement The bathroom smelled like dirty diapers - they need to empty out the garbage bin more frequently The floor was kind of bulging up and although the owner (I think) was putting down some kind of tacks before our party, there were still a couple of bulging spots The cubbies look really yucky which I get from muddy shoes, etc. Maybe use a magic eraser once a month to really clean them up. Tips There are 30mins to set up your party while the last party is taking theirs down. The party before us had done 0 take down when their time ended (plus lots of kids running around). My mom and I spent 15min with cleaning wipes wiping down as much as we could (because it's winter and I don't want my kiddo and her friends to all get sick and I'm a bit of a germaphobe). By that time, the party before us had cleared out and a staff person had swept/washed the tables so we could decorate. I'd suggest 3 adults with no kids to do set up as we were really rushed with just 2 adults (unless you are ordering in pizzas and have minimal decorations). Book early if you want a specific date/time. We needed to work around nap and even booking 3 months out our preferred date was taken (but Sunday ended up working well).

Wow. This place is really cool. After looking at some of the older reviews, I was a little…read moreskeptical but decided to try a place. Excellent place to play. For kids 10 and under. My son loves arcade, games, motorcycles, cars, Jurassic Park shooter games all of which are here and All are free with the price of entry. Superb. It's a little old and ratty. But I think it adds to the Charm. The snacks were ridiculous isn't cheap. I felt the need to leave a tip. Definitely recommend coming to this place & spending money. not a place we wanna lose. Only downside is I imagine it could get really really crowded.

We also like the atmosphere in the Duck Blind, that we can get up and walk around and talk to each other during the game. The view of the field isn't the greatest, but we love the atmosphere. Maynard and Millie usually come out and take photos with us in the Duck Blind and there are always fun promotions going on. The food is good, the beer selection is awesome, and the games are fun to watch. Fourth of July weekend there are fireworks and entertainment after the game, it's the best! We will return again and again!

There was a little rain but that didn't stop us from having fun at the Quack of a Bat! A Mallards game is must-do summer activity especially for anyone exploring Madison. Not only is it great for community spirit it's also great entertainment. The quack is back with summer fun for the whole family. Some of the Highlights of the night: Star Wars characters you find roaming around the park. Delicious ballpark food and locally brewed beers. The mallards taking home the win. My personal favorite Maverick, the Madison Mallards' superstar bat dog.

If you have kids who are just walking, up to about 3 or 4, this is the best small park in Madison…read morefor them to play that I know of. It is extremely well designed for the toddler crowd. It is totally gated, so no one can make a run for the street. The equipment is interesting and exciting to kids without posing almost any danger, and from 18 months on, they can do almost everything themselves. There are no swings you have to push them on, no ladders you have to hover over while they climb. Just sit on one of the many benches and relax! If you live within a mile or two, and are in charge of some people in diapers, do yourself a favor and find this little patch of fun tucked just outside the elementary school grounds.

It's a lot closer to where I live and a better alternative than the Dells if you don't want to drop an arm and a leg to go to a waterpark. I have an 8 year old and 8 month old so they are easier to entertain. The older kids might get bored if you frequent this place. I work nights so I am able to take my kids when everyone else is at work so that's a plus for me. They do have lifeguards on duty, a separate area for adults to swim, a kiddie pool for the younger kids, rides and a hot tub (I mean because Wisconsin doesn't get hot enough for some of us). I would definitely recommend if you're looking for something for the kids to do during the summer. There is only one stall in the female restroom and I am hoping they would fix that because it's really annoying to wait to use the restroom when you have younger children with you.

I would never recommend this place based on the experience I had…read more I signed my son up in the summer of 2022. When it came time to make the payment, I attempted to pay twice, but both times I was told that the card machine was broken. At the time, I was eight months pregnant. Shortly after, I had to be induced early due to complications. Five days after giving birth, I suffered a severe hemorrhage and went into cardiac arrest. Doctors performed CPR on me for about 30 minutes, and I was placed in a coma for two weeks. When I woke up, I had undergone multiple surgeries and had to learn how to walk again. My entire focus during that time was on surviving and recovering. Because of everything that happened, the payments had completely slipped my mind and I had honestly forgotten all about it during my recovery. During that time, the owner contacted me regarding two missed payments totaling $2,700. She told me that emails had been sent, but I never received any communication. When I explained the medical emergency and everything I had been through, I was met with a very rude response and was told that I needed to pay the full amount immediately or I would be sued. I never said that I wouldn't pay what was owed. However, I was extremely disappointed by the complete lack of compassion and understanding given the life-threatening situation I had just gone through. I was given no time or flexibility to arrange payment, even though I had been unable to work for quite some time due to multiple surgeries and a long recovery. A little compassion and understanding during such a difficult time would have made a big difference.
