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 seemed to be high schoolers, and at times, they acted like high schoolers - can't really fault that though... I would recommend!

Kids 2+ years old.....$16.99…read more ($12.99 with a Military/First Responder ID) Toddlers.....$8.99 Infants & Adults....FREE! Seeing my kids eyes light up when I say we are going to Kids World..... PRICELESS!!! Normally, my kids are pretty easy to entertain. Give em an IPad or put on episodes of Bluey and it gives me the time I need to do the dishes, start the laundry and even run the vacuum. But after that's all said and done and the house is magically back in order (for now).... My kids will often say, "Daddy we're bored, can we go somewhere fun?" So we will usually go for a walk or ride their scooters which 9 out of 10 times is just a ploy to get me to take them to our local park. They get me, Every. Single. Time. Other times we will take a dip in our pool, especially now that it's summer. But sometimes not even the park or the pool is what they are looking for in terms of fun. So every now and again I will throw the, "hey do you wanna go to Kids World?" Instantly, their eyes get real big and their smiles get even bigger. For the record... Kids World in Oak Park is truly a Family Fun Center. Known for its indoor "playground" where kids and possibly adults (if you are good at ducking your head) and aren't afraid to get balls thrown at you from the ball pit can really have some fun all while creating good memories for you and your littles. Hey, maybe I'm just a hands on Dad, or maybe I just never really grew up, but I absolutely love just being a big goof and running around like a crazy person chasing my kids in an exciting game of tag. Through the twisty slides, the never ending tunnels, padded barriers, and of course the foam-balled, ball pit.... You and your kids are destined to get have some fun. Plenty of complimentary open tables to host a party; there are of course paid reserved areas available for larger celebrations. My only negative is the Kitchen area... They have a section in the back where it appears they used to have food? Maybe food is coming?? But the last couple of times we've came.... Nothin'. They do allow you to bring outside food and drinks which is nice, but I'm hoping in the future they get the kitchen back up and running. So the next time you feel like rewarding your kid with that play date you've been promising, or maybe you are looking for a fun place to host that birthday party without making your own house a mess... Come check out Kids World Family Fun Center!

Wonderful community museum with amazing outdoor space and special events. We have enjoyed the…read morebirthday parties and pop-up events for years, so much that we were inspired to contribute. Now that phase 1 of the museum is complete and open we are amazed. A beautiful little outdoor theater, a play cafe and farmer's market, a real greenhouse and a Channel Islands themed playground are just a few highlights of the outdoor experience. The indoor has a nice little classroom and shop area and a really cool maker space including a cardboard "chomp saw" and lots of crafts! The staff are really kind, patient, polite, and helpful. They help transform this from a fun space into an inviting experience. You can tell how passionate they are about family learning. The museum is already amazing and a fitting successor to the library that used to be on the site. We can't wait for phase 2, when the rest of the indoor space is renovated and available!

He deserved to live out the rest of his long life in a place where he can stretch his fins, and Aquarium Connection is exactly that place. The tanks are immaculately clean, the owner and staff are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and you can just tell that they genuinely care about their fishy friends. They accepted our pleco with open arms, gave us tips about how to catch and transport him, and overall made us feel so much better about surrendering Fred because we know for certain he's somewhere where he will be well loved and very well taken care of.

We've done the gamut of indoor play spaces in Oak Park and Agoura trying to keep our kids (5 and 2)…read morebusy while visiting Grandma and Grandpa's house. We really wanted to love this place. We love the concept but the cost was just too high to justify the time spent here. It's $30 per child and while it's unlimited play, there's not a whole lot to do after the excitement from interactive screens goes away. It is cool to see the screens be tappable. The sand table is very cool as well, it's interactive so if you make a pile it makes a mountain and if you dig a hole, virtual water fills the space. We've never seen anything like it. But the kids spent about 15 minutes at the table and 10 minutes coloring the big wall screen and 10 minutes in the interactive ball pit. They were done with interactive screens after that and they spent the most time in the little play space with a market and salon. In total we spent about 1 hour and 10 minutes here before the kids were ready to go. It was really hot inside so maybe they would have lasted longer if it was cooler. We were sweating when we got outside. I just feel like $60 could have been spent elsewhere for more fun. Glad we went though - it's kind of a one and done experience. (Adults need grip socks not regular socks so we spent money on that as well.) Edit: These were our own kids here not our nephews and we were charged $30/kid despite the sibling discount.

Reign and Shine offers an…read moreimmersive play environment where kids aren't just playing, but also being mentally and physically stimulated at the same time. There are so many interactive stations from playing "doctor" or "grocery store," to building full landscapes in the sandpit (complete with interactive features like a volcano!). Everywhere you turn, there's something creative and engaging for kids to explore. We stayed for over two hours, and my daughter still didn't want to leave. She's already asking to go back, and we're definitely making this one of our go-to spots! What makes it even better is that they also have workstations for parents who work from home such a smart idea for when you need a little break while your child is entertained in a safe, stimulating environment. The owner was incredibly welcoming, giving us a tour and explaining all the unique interactive experiences. It's rare to find a place that feels this thoughtful and intentional. I would 100% recommend Reign and Shine Play Lab 10/10! Truly a unique experience that every parent and child should check out.

This location is huge and all of it is on one floor, unlike other locations and it makes it very spacious. There are a lot of things to do, from a massive number of various trampolines, to gladiator-style climbs and crawls. My kids also love the zipliine there, that eventually has them falling into a huge space of soft, styrofoam cubes. In addition, they have a trampoline basketball full court and various other games that involve jumping and hand-to-eye coordination. Honestly, too many activities to list, which makes is a terrific space for kids. My only complaint is that sometimes they have too many kids playing all at the same time. At other times it's perfect though. All in all, great place, great location and very affordable monthly memberships. We'll continue coming back. My kids are thrilled! P.S. Electric massage chairs for adults! Need I say more).

It's very affordable with easy parking, which made the whole visit stress-free from the start. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff who let us know about an upcoming animal performance so we could plan our time around it--such a nice touch. The zoo itself is the perfect size for younger kids. They had a great variety of animals including tigers, a lion, several types of birds, and monkeys. The staff throughout the zoo were informative and approachable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a fun, easy outing that's perfect for little ones. We'll definitely be back!

THIS IS NOT YOUR TRADITIONAL ZOO! If you come here hoping for a vast institution with a lot of…read moreanimals, you will be disappointed but with that being said, I personally really enjoyed my time here. This zoo is so that college students who are studying animal related programs can gain experience meaning they don't have all the animals you see at typical zoos but there were still some really cool ones! And because students are learning they have animals roaming around with them so you could potentially see a beaver or a hawk up close and in demonstration. I honestly think I preferred it here as it was slow paced and not very crowded. I don't believe they had any food here so bring snacks and their gift shop was closed. I don't know if that was only on the day we went or indefinitely. There's plenty of parking - I know it says "permit only" but I think that applies to weekdays only when classes are in session.

Their own website clearly states to arrive at 6pm, with no mention of calling ahead, no reservation system, no waitlist. So that's exactly what we did. We arrived on time only to be turned away because the spots were already gone. Apparently there's an unwritten rule that regulars know to call ahead, information conveniently absent from their website. When we asked the general manager, Cameron, why this wasn't communicated anywhere publicly, her repeated response was essentially "we're popular", offered with the self-satisfaction of someone who sees no problem with the situation. No apology. No empathy. No acknowledgment that their website is actively misleading customers. Just a shrug and a reminder that this is "how you learn for next time." My son was in tears. What's most frustrating isn't the miscommunication, it's the attitude. A good manager finds a way to soften the blow, acknowledge the failure, and make a family feel heard. Cameron did none of that. When I pointed out that if calling ahead is policy, it should be stated publicly, she had no real answer, just more deflection about how popular they are. K1 may be too busy to care about losing one family's business, but we had been planning a birthday party there. That won't be happening. If you value clear communication and basic customer service, proceed with caution.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
