Fun thing for the kiddos to do! Price was fairly priced! Felt very clean and safe here. They closed it down once while we were here to clean and sanitize the play area which I loved! They also had 2-4 employees always monitoring the play area to help kids stay safe.

Get your drink or your eat on here at the full bar.

This place is amazing! They have a low cost to get in, an amazing playground with interactive play for the little ones, full bar and kitchen for the adults as well as card operated machines for video game play... I highly recommend this place. I'll come and spend 3-4 hours here, working/adulting while my child plays. It's such a relief from the sun's heat or the rain to be able to come indoors and have something for the both of us. I held my daughter's recent birthday here and it was such a great time for everyone involved. The host was ever-present and continued to provide snacks or advice for us. All of our guests had a great time. So again, I highly recommend this place to all parents of kids under 10. Call or check their website in advance. Sometimes they're closed for cleaning which is a good thing tbh. Also note that they shut down the playground a few times throughout the day to clean. Thanks to the crew, I can trust that my child has good, sanitized fun.

THE BEST INVENTION FOR OREGON WEATHER. For anyone of the Discovery Zone generation this is the modern version. We have yet to try it in the afternoon (when it's hot) but it's the perfect stop before nap. Our first time one of the employees was above and beyond about helping our Littles get to know the place, although parents are also allowed in most spaces and can fit easily. However, every visit since has not been as wonderful from the employees. It's comes across as more of a chore now with multiple employees clogging the corner gossiping more than anything else. There look to be a variety of seating and games available but it fills up fast in the summer. The seating ranges from couches, outdoor chairs, table and chairs, or bar stools. Plenty of games available for adults while kids play - including mini golf, board and card games, shuffle board, corn hole, etc The bathrooms are located across the lobby from the play space and have two stalls, so you have to make your way there, if you little is newly potty training it's a more of a run to avoid accidents. There are cubbies for shoes on lining the ply structure, and two options for all ages. A toddler area has stairs, bridge, slide, and merry-go-round. The bigger area has a slide into a ball pit, plenty of climbing and bridges 4 additional slides on the other side and more, next that is the make believe space with a market, doctors office, and restraint to pretend in complete with road and trees to play with. They offer three party rooms but aren't used much during the week day hours, more weekends understandably. They even know their target market and have several tv screens on usually playing an adult show and a kids show. The menu they offer includes charcuterie boards, and tastings as if you're at a Vinyard but your Littles can play their hearts out. The menu pictures are recent as of 6/20/22 for the updated menu variety and prices.

They have an indoor playground my 4 and 1 year old love! They take time to clean it once an hour which is awesome and has sanitizing station set up at the entrance to the playground. The staff is great, always walking around the play area and so sweet and playful with the kids. The food is great! I've had their pizza previously and it's delicious. Most food is air fried which is a nice alternative and makes their fries extra crunchy and not oily at all. They serve alcohol which is a plus. I've had a few of their ciders on tap and they never disappoint. They have a full bar of a shot or mixed drink is more your taste. We always have a good time here. So many amenities, it's hard to name them all! Check it out for yourself!

We started our daughter in gymnastics here at 18 months. This was 2.5 years ago. We had a billing issue back then and decided to try another place. Let me reel you, the quality of the other place doesn't compare. We are now back at the athletic edge. They seem to have their stuff together more now at their new facility off Madison. We have just signed our son up to start in September. He is so excited (he's 2), and our daughter is loving being back! I will warn that they don't get 5 stars for their past billing issues and how hard it is to get someone on the phone there.

I just had an upsetting run in with a very rude employee at this establishment. Grey hair, straight…read morewith glasses. Seamed unhappy before we even started chatting. I went into pick up my art and she told me it was donated to charity. I had missed the 30 day pick up policy and when I asked why no one called she pointed to a sign on her counter (yes pointed) and said we don't call. Wow I was part of a large party who went for the first time together in December. None of us were informed of a 30 day pick up policy or told our items would be donated if we miss the window and they won't call us. She actually told me to take it up with the group organizer. When I called him he was like, I didn't know about a 30 policy. Yep! Wow again! I feel like they stole my money and my art. I was two weeks over the policy I never heard about. When she looked up my group on the computer she read, oh the lotus tile. She knew! I said where did it go? She said they donate to charities around town. What charity? She said she doesn't have to tell me. I'm thinkn I could go buy it back but she refused to even get up and look for it or tell me what happened to it. Why? Because she knew what happened her get lips were sealed. ? Maybe ? We came in at chaos Xmas. Spent many many hundreds of dollars. I've gone two other times to pick this up and they were closed. I work in Portland. I've been sick for over two weeks and my 30 days were up 15 days ago. Surely you see how much money our party spent. Why no courtesy call to let the group organizer know there was one item still at the shop. You do want return customers. What a terrible taste left in mouth. At minimum the day before you donate it, CALL! Is this even legal. If it's donated where it can be sold idk. I never signed anything saying they could sell my art? Where is it or did it break? And if a charity has it on display somewhere then let me see if they have and offer to give them a financial donation instead. I mean this is nuts. She was so rude and unfriendly. If the store manager reaches out and they can help me track this down I will donate money to the charity for sure. I'm sure they would rather have money than a tile I painted. It was my first time painting. This was about creating memories and not do I have one. I just got done telling my large party what happened to me and they can't believe it. I will take this review down if I have a good experience with the store manager when she follows up with me please! Please call me please. I don't know of any retailer that has that short of a pick up policy during the holidays especially since they were closed several days around Xmas. This is ridiculous. I paid to make art and then they took my money and my art. Nuts! So disappointing! Wendy S 503-317-8350

This was my first time here and I wouldn't return unless a deep clean has been done…read more I can't speak to how it was initially but as of Sept. 2025 the built up grime, safety concerns, and smell was not pleasant. It was visibly very dirty and it made me wonder if it had ever been cleaned. I get the price point can be appealing but I just wouldn't feel comfortable bringing littles here again.

I've been to a few of these indoor playgrounds for birthday parties in the Salem area in the past…read morefew years, and Awesome Indoor Playground meets all of the basic requirements, but lacks imagination. Today was my second visit to this location and I was happy to see they've added three designated party areas with decorated walls, which is a welcome addition. However, the rest of the facility is pretty bare bones. There are lots of tables huddled closely together in the center of the room, with a large cafe bar to the right for ordering drinks and food. The play area is pretty straight-forward, offering slides and tunnels and ball pits. The kids all seem to be having fun. The kitchen offers simple pizzas, sodas and alcoholic beverages. There was a tater tot pizza on the menu as well, which was covered with mozzerella and bacon... and was a crowd favorite. Awesome Indoor Playground appears to be on the right track. The wall murals in the designated party areas are a great addition, but they need to add some more color throughout the space. Bring in some more visual appeal, and dust the heating vents and the tops of the play structures. Maybe these aren't details kids will care about, but for bored adults sitting for 2-3 hours... we see these things!

We love everything about RiverCity Rock Star Academy!…read more My daughter is about to start her 4th program with them, the Saturday Rockers. These programs run each season, with summer being a bit shorter than the others. She takes electric guitar lessons in the program, which teaches students not only how to play their instruments but also how to play together as a band. Each session includes one-on-one private lessons (which can be done anytime), then 2-hour band lessons (on Saturday in our case). So some students are learning guitar, others doing drums, bass, keyboard, or taking vocal lessons. They select a playlist of songs they want to learn and rehearse together, with full support from the instructors every step of the way. At the end of each program, they perform live in front of an audience. Sometimes it's mostly parents, other times they do shows in town, like at The Barn or Grand Theater. It's been very motivating for my daughter, and I started taking private lessons there myself recently. Every staff member and instructor genuinely cares about the success, safety, and satisfaction of the students and it shows. I think the pricing is very reasonable for everything you get, and there's not many places that do anything like this. It's a great location, too, because they can really play loud without disturbing anyone, yet it's also very close to downtown and lots of little restaurants to check out nearby. From the front, it may look small but once you go inside you and see how many rooms the place has, you'll see it's actually very spacious inside. There's also a good selection of guitars and gear to buy, with no pressure and very helpful staff. Check out their website and social media, or stop by and give them a try!

Am I the first person to review RiverCity Rock Star Academy on Yelp? That would be my honor…read more Why is a guy from Chicago raving about RiverCity Rock Star Academy? I could list 3 things but I'll focus on the third point. I purchased a beautiful white/white Jet JS-400 Guitar from Oregon, long distance. That process went great. 1) Timely updates in email. 2) Wonderfully packed. 3) Great SETUP of the guitar. I took the guitar out of the box and it was flawless. I tuned it, that was simple. The guitar played great out of the box. Normally you need to spend $50 getting a guitar "set up". Putting on new strings and making sure the "action" isn't too high. The "action" on my new Jet Guitar JS-400 was perfect. Let's call it medium. Too high and it's hard for a beginner to press down guitar strings. Strings too low and you get "fret buzz". My Jet guitar from RiverCity Rock Star Academy played great out of the box. Her Slovenian name is "Bela" pronounced "bay luh". (Jet Guitars are owned by Slovenians.) RiverCity Rock Star Academy staff are wonderful. Buy a guitar from them locally or long distance. Best Wishes from Chicago, IL Richard
