He had a really great time and talk about a 2 to 3 hour nap. He didn't fully understand everything, considering he is 16 months old, but he did have a fun time while he was there. There is an area for children his age so he can play around there, but I was able to have him run around and play everywhere else. He didn't care for the bubbles area, but absolutely loved the sand corner that they have. There is a little sandbox for the kids so that way toddlers can go and play it if they wanted to. He loved going up and down the stairs and playing in the block area as well. When I first went, I didn't use what the library offered. Which if you put in that you have a library card, you and a child can get in for free for the day. My husband did come with us when I made the day through the library, but considering he got the library card and showed them that he had it, he was able to pay half the price. Which was nine dollars for us. Otherwise it would have been $18. It was a great time for my son and we were there for almost 2 hours as he was running around the place. If you do want to go more often, I know they offer a family packages. I also know that you can get a two-year package and a one-year package. The basic one-year package is $200. Which if that is the only thing you can afford is totally worth it. Especially on days where it is too cold to stay outside or it is raining. I know the other packages offer more stuff, but they are a little bit more expensive. This place is great considering that they do have events each week. That is great for all different ages. This is a place. I will definitely be taking my son more and once I have more kids will be taking them there as well.

Lots of interactive exhibits, play areas and the obligatory climbing structure. Will inevitably be busy like most things on Long Island. Staff is friendly enough however mostly in the background. Good balance of different types of things to do, including a few animals upstairs. The town play set area is very cool, and I love that they have a rotating exhibit space. It was trains when we were there, themed to Thomas the train with both a ton of tracks to play with, as well as life sized Thomas train characters. Had to drag my son out of there, however luckily their gift shop is decent with legitimate toys versus just cheap crap. Would definitely come back here.

The staff is wonderful; no one was rushed; all of the children spent as much time as they liked with all of the animals throughout the day. Such an easy, happy day for everyone.

Extremely disappointing experience for my child's birthday party…read more I rarely write reviews, but I feel it's important to share this experience so other families know what to expect. We booked our child's birthday party here and it turned out to be one of the most frustrating experiences we've had. From the start, communication and customer service were poor. When we booked, we were told that to receive their 20% discount, the deposit had to be paid by cash or Zelle -- no credit cards accepted. We ended up sending a $300 deposit via Zelle. On the day of the party, we were unexpectedly told to pay the entire $944 up front, even though we had already paid a deposit. The staff said they would "refund" the deposit afterward, which was never clearly explained before. This caused unnecessary stress during setup since we had to gather additional cash right before guests arrived. During the event, there were several issues: We weren't asked to sign waivers until after the kids started playing, which interrupted the start of the party. The laser tag (included in our booking) wasn't ready -- the staff said the equipment was still charging. The staff's attitude was dismissive and unhelpful throughout. After the party ended, we stayed about 30 minutes to clean up the room -- something most places understand is part of the process. The next day, when we asked for our $300 deposit refund, we were told it was being withheld because we "stayed 50 minutes longer." That's unreasonable. We were cleaning up, not extending the party, and the children had mostly left. To make things worse, when we tried to discuss this issue, the staff was rude and unprofessional. The facility itself wasn't well maintained -- we even found garbage in the ball pit. Between the lack of communication, poor management, and the unfair way they handled the deposit, I cannot recommend this business to anyone. There are so many better options that actually value their customers. Spend your money elsewhere -- you'll get better service and less stress.

The decor was amazing! It matched what we saw in their website and Instagram. It also came with pizza and juice for the kids and unlimited play. I was allowed to bring additional food and other snacks and they were kind enough to help me set up and plate the food. One tip would be to confirm the arrival of the pizza time. Our was suppose to arrive at 1230 (party started at 12) and it didn't arrive until 130 because of the rain. The pizza is ordered from a pizza shop so it had to be delivered. They were super nice and apologetic about it. The play area is huge and something for everyone. Although it might be hard to track your kid. It also felt cleaner than other indoor playgrounds that we've been too. We would definitely be back!

Even if there's a line, someone will come out and help so the line never gets too long or lasts more than a few minutes. The entire space is clean, well staffed, and has such a good array of games and obstacle courses. It was these visits that made this the perfect venue for my son's 9th birthday party. From the moment we did the online booking, we were in constant communication with the staff. The day of the party, Angelique and Will made us feel welcomed and supported. My son is nonverbal autistic and some of his friends were also on the spectrum. We needed something more free range so everyone got to do what felt best for them. Angelique and Will checked on us and were always available if we needed them. They decorated the room, doted on the guests, and took care of all the little details so all the families could focus on their kiddos. My favorite thing about them was how understanding they were of my son and how he doesn't necessarily interact with his surroundings like other children do. They gave him space and followed his lead so that he could have the best birthday for him. I truly cannot say enough great things about this place! I've always loved coming just for fun but seeing how their professionalism and organization extends to all areas of their business is truly a remarkable thing. Without a doubt my family will continue visiting and recommending this place!

There were two staff members during the party and they were nice and helpful. The place is perfect for younger kids (maybe 5 and under) and spacious with a lot of things for the little ones to do. The play area is fenced in although the entrance to the play area is open (no gate). There was also I believe a little reading nook area in the corner by the front of the facility? Everything looked very clean and the place was brightly lit. I love that you can see the entire play area if you're sitting down and having a coffee or something. They have some food and drinks available for purchase during non-party times. There were two private bathrooms and free parking in the back. I also saw an outdoor fenced play area behind the facility which I'm assuming would be for when the weather is nicer out. It was my first time at Sippy Cups (though I've always heard them recommended by other moms) but I'd definitely return to check out their open play! If you're thinking of doing a birthday party for your little one, I would highly recommend it although not sure of party pricing. Beautiful setup and all the kids had a great time. Remember to wear socks or you have to purchase.
