Going through the process of having your child being diagnosed with an issue that requires therapy is a daunting experience for any parent. With so many unknowns I felt like I was bumped here, there, everywhere. When I first drove up to the Ability Center, I felt a bit more at ease bc outside was designed like a green castle, my son's favorite color, which in turn, made HIM feel more at ease. The staff was INCREDIBLE at helping me navigate the process of therapy, schedules and the like, putting me even more at ease. His therapists were great, and updated me about him directly after each session, which I loved.... no guessing about his progress. Eventually, going to therapy at the "AC" became a welcomed part of our weekly routine. During the time that my son attended the AC, I gave birth to our second son. When he started walking, I would sometimes bring him to the AC's adjunct play area. Literally a play area! Therapy sessions on the left side of the building for kids needing therapy, and a play area on the right side of the building for little ones to play, each with their own separate entrances! (I'm thinking there was a mom behind that design!) I believe they have mommy and me classes on that play side too. As if that wasn't good enough, that play area is SO CLEAN!!!!!! I don't want to put down other play areas or therapy areas but listen, this place is SUPER clean. There's even a little basket that they keep for yucky or dirty toys needing to be cleaned! I could write a novel about this place but this is already too long. Maybe because this place has been a part of our lives the last couple years, I feel a sentimental attachment to it but I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone, for therapy, or for your little one to have a baby/toddler friendly place to play. Both of my boys loved it! read more

Wonderful and engaging space for my 1 and 8 year olds. Very well kept and clean. The owner is always kind and welcoming. We feel very lucky to have this space in the neighborhood. read more

My family and I hosted my kiddo's birthday here today. Isaac was great to work with. He and his staff were attentive and easy to communicate with. The space was set up nicely and with decorations too. They moved quickly to ensure we were able to enjoy the party and not worry about managing food or clean-up. The party carried on seamlessly. The facility is clean and provided plenty of seating for the adults. All the children kept busy in various play areas. We had children ranging from eight months to nine years old. There was something for everyone to play. I highly recommend. read more

Another great party at the Ability Center! This is our second party at the Ability Center and it does not disappoint. My 3 year old and his friends all had a blast! Isaac and his son took care of everything including set up and clean up! We enjoyed the stress free atmosphere and the children did not want the party to end. Highly recommend for birthday parties for children aged 5 and below. read more

I hosted my daughter's 4th birthday party at the Ability Center and Isaac (the owner) did such a great job in ensuring that everything went smoothly. The ability center is clean, well-maintained and the kids (ages 4-8) enjoyed playing there. Great customer service and the size was perfect for what I was looking for (around 20-25 people, adults and kids). read more

My wife and I recently had our daughter's fourth birthday party at the Ability Center and it was great! All the children had a lot of fun. The play space is very clean & everything was nicely organized when we got there. The party host was terrific & she helped decorate the party room with our theme. This is the second time we had our daughter's birthday party at Ability Playspace & we definitely recommend it!! read more

We were reccomend to come here for PT from a bunch of friends. They are very detail oriented and will work with you for all you your needs & schedules. We are really happy with the progress we are seeing. I would recommend this to all. read more

I took my 3 year old here and he loved it! We had the first appointment of the day at 10am. The owner was friendly and welcoming and the place was clean and fun!! read more

Terrible experience! my daughter has severe sensory issues. I tried to get her services with an OT in this facility and they turned me away for no reason. I begged to get any time slot at any day because she really needs it and has been waiting for months. The owner didn't want to take my case just in case there is traffic and I may not make it in time. Horrible. read more

We had our baby's first birthday party here and it was perfect. We have a lot of children in our family and they were all entertained with the space. They provide someone to help with setting up with decorations and food that we bought. Couldn't of asked for anything better. read more

I can't thank them enough for making the place clean and so fun for my one year old son...the staff is so helpful and the place is so well organized and sanitary. Was the perfect activity for a kid on a cold afternoon! read more

The Ability Center is a great place for open play and a great addition to the neighborhood. Today, my son's birthday, couldn't have been better!!! The kids had so much fun. More than enough room to play. Darlene, the event planner, is fantastic. And Isaac a gracious host and owner. We were really taken care of. Highly recommend for ages 1-5. Reasonable prices for a full 2 hour party. read more

We love this place as a play-space. It's so clean. My daughter and her friends loved the rock climbing walls, the zip line, the swings, and the selection of toys. I felt completely comfortable letting her go on all the equipment. This place is also amazing for birthdays. You get to rent the whole play-area, and you don't have to worry about packages that include over-priced pizza, and cake. You can order your own catering, which meant that we ordered food my guests actually wanted to eat. You aren't shuffled from room to room, either. You can eat, and let kids go back to playing. The package included a party host, who helped serve, stayed with the kids on the "jumping platform" area, and decorated to make their party room special. My 4 year old pronounced this the best birthday party ever! read more

We had my son's 4th birthday party here on a Saturday night( 2/4/2017) and I couldn't have been more happier with the outcome of the event! The staff was so accommodating and so helpful in setting up the party room and they also did an amazing job interacting with the parents and their kids! I honestly cant say enough great things about the party experience! All the kids loved all the different activities and toys! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience ! read more

Visited for the first time today for open play with my 9-month-old and a friend and her 20-month-old. Both children had a ball and the other parents were friendly and courteous, as were the staff members that we met. The gym was clean, bright, and attractive, and all the kids seemed to be having a good time. Will definitely return. read more

Celebrated my son's 3rd birthday at Ability Center this past Sunday. It was our first formal kids party and we didn't know what to expect. We came early to find the gym space clean and perfectly set up, the party room was beautifully decorated and the owner proceeded to ask as multiple times if there was anything else we needed. With the help of Ability Center staff the party ran smoothly and everyone had fun. I couldn't have asked for more! read more

Ability center is a wonderful refuge for open play hours. It's a clean and beautiful facility and most of all it's not overrun with kids. Usually these types of places give me anxiety because there are too many kids and not enough supervision, resulting in chaos and unsanitary conditions. Food is not allowed on the play floor and all kids/adults have to wear socks. Usually the hours are until 6:30 on weekdays (Except Friday/Saturday) and occasionally they're even open on Sundays. I know there is a "mommy and me" class, but I have never been able to attend due to working full time. I like the fact that my daughter (22m) can play and enjoy herself without disruption. Quite a wonderful oasis in the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn. A really good facility with friendly staff! read more

This place is fantastic. My son loves to go here for open play. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are perfect for an hour of playtime and the bargain of the play pass makes it a super deal. I have personally seen the staff members cleaning the play area so I am confident in their cleanliness. I recommend the Ability center for an afternoon of fun. read more

We have been coming here for about 2 years now and love it. In that time we have experienced all that they have to offer. The open play has so much for little ones to do, from the two-story castle, ball pit, slides and zip line, to the assortment of toys and tunnels, etc. So many ways to get out their energy in a safe, always clean, sensory environment. They also have Mommy & Me classes with Mrs. DD, who engages the children with toys, songs, arts & crafts and story time. My son loves her and her class, always asking to go back to see her, and I will now be bringing my daughter. My son started OT & PT a few months ago and the therapists are wonderful. Patient and loving towards the children, and they keep the parents up to date and informed. My son is progressing while having fun, who could ask for more! Ability Playspace also offers birthday parties. We had my daughter's first birthday here a few weeks ago and it was wonderful. Mrs. DD sets up and runs the party. She took care of everything, I didn't have to worry about a thing. The kids had a blast, ranging from one to 8 years old. Something for all of them to do. I had friends and family from Long Island who couldn't stop saying how lucky we are to have a great place like this so close to our house, and I agree! read more

Maybe good place for children 0-5, I took my 7 years daughter and she enjoyed but not much. The owner seemed very polite and calm. The price is maybe little too high for one hour stay. read more

This place is perfect for a birthday party for 1-5 years old! We had our 3-year-old's party here and could not be happier. The price is a lot better than any of the surrounding options and you actually get more here. The only things they don't include are refreshments and planned activities. I actually like that because in other places the food brings up the price by much more than what the food is actually worth as do the activities. After having had a very unpleasant experience elsewhere, I came in to check out this place ahead of time. It's actually roomy but most importantly, it's very well thought out. You have your rock climbing, your ball pit, your house with a workshop and a kitchen :) There are monkey bars, a small trampoline, a slide, a mini zip-line, lots of padded mats, gymnastics tumblers and tunnels, several different spots to build with blocks and much more. The bathroom has a seat for a child and a step stool for them to wash their hands. Everything is extremely clean and our party assistant was very helpful with the food - set up, serve and clean up. We felt well taken care of and did not have to worry about anything. Would recommend this place to anyone. read more

The Ability Center is a bright, clean, lively play space for kids to play on a rainy day in Marine Park. In addition, they throw an awesome birthday party at a great price. Miss Darlene is the best host! Ask for her when you book! read more

Upon entry , the initial greeting was very unprofessional .It was more like sign this form and another form In regards to billing for services my son had not received. . I mean after all we've just arrived. . The O.T therapist appeared to be the only normal person ,unfortunately it was her 1st day on the job. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED AT ALL ,AFTER HEARING SUCH GREAT REVIEWS. . read more

We had my daughters' birthday party here yesterday. The staff was extremely helpful and super efficient! They were great with our guests and ensured everyone was fed and safe. Everyone that came was very impressed with how clean and nice the place was. They all intend to return for open play with their kids as will I! Thanks so much for making their birthday memorable and FUN!!! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Beautiful, clean, play place and therapy center for kids. Employees and owner are friendly and helpful. Great price for hourly play. Definitely a gem! A must visit! read more

My daughter Tianna is getting services at Ability Center for three years. All teachers are professional and helped my daughter to achieve great results during speach, OT and PT classes. We love this Center, owner Isaac is always responsive and keeps this place in a nice, clean condition that you always want to come back and can child there safely for the time the classes are in progress. Thank you for everything! We will come back! read more

Beautiful, clean, well maintained and great quality toys. The staff and owner are very friendly and my kids had a blast (3-year-old and 1-year-old). My 3-year-old keeps asking to go back! The best part is that the owner is always there and really cares about the place and kids/customers. If you have little ones you should come by and check it out you will not be disappointed. Just call before you visit and ask what the hours for open play are before you visit. The price is very reasonable because the toys and equipment are great brands, quality and cleaned really well. read more

I've been coming here with my two-year-old son for open play and parties for the past year, and I have nothing but good things to say. I just had my son's birthday party here yesterday, and the whole experience from booking over the phone to cleaning up the party was wonderful. Isaac and his staff are professional, very nice, and extremely helpful! They are great with the kids. They also have so many party decorations there! I forgot a tablecloth and not only did they have one, but it was the same one I had bought! They set everything up for me and cleaned it all at the end. The play equipment and toys they have are perfect for the kids, and CLEAN! We'll certainly continue coming here for open play and more parties. read more

The Ability Center is a wonderful place to have a birthday party. We had our little boy's fourth birthday party on a Sunday morning from 10am -12 pm. The play and kitchen area are separated from each other, however close enough to see your children playing. The entire space is very clean and the staff is extremely helpful with set up and organizing. We served bagels, coffee, fruit and veggies. Everything was just perfect!! We will be booking there again. read more

Recently had 3 sessions go to waste that I payed for last year with there pass. I even purchased extra sessions in there package. My schedule became hectic due to moving, school & children. Find out today that pass expired, yet the owner knows I purchased it even though last year, since I personally bought it from them. So just because they wrote in an expiration date on pass, if we have sessions remaining that we paid for as good business owners that shouldn't just be taken away from us, as if we have money just to go to waste. So that is at least $22 dollars, that I gave to company that has just been thrown away and not credited to me,. The owner did not return me back the pass and kept it, and did not even offer me the 3 sessions I have remaining or partial credit. Business owners, show a lot this way & out of a good heart would not take our money. We all get busy in life, especially with children. I will not be returning to this place. I only give business where it is appreciated, & deserved. read more
