Came here for a birthday party for 3/4 year olds. If you're not familiar with the area this area…read morehas a lot of restaurants and night life so it's a bit odd for a kids play yard. When you enter there's a spot to place your shoes which is like a shoe display area which is a bit different and kind of cool. You have to check in at the front desk before they unlock the gate to allow you in. There's a bathroom to your left then another bathroom located on the other side of the under 18 month play area. They have a lot are rideable cars for the kids. The set up is pretty cool too it's like a large tree house. There's also a water area, a make believe grocery store and the 18 month and younger play area. Something for all the kids up to age 6. The back right is the area where they serve food which is equiped with a soda machine. My friend told me all the food was cateredby twinkle. Pizza and pasta was good. Wings were ok. Fruit platter was good especially for the kids and the fries were soggy but my 1 year old didn't mind. The cake was chocolate and vanilla. I had the chocolate which was really moist and not too sweet. Party experience here was really great and it was from 5 to 8 so it was nice we had the entire area to ourselves.

I have been to Twinkle Playspace many times…read more I have gone as a guest to birthday parties, I've celebrated my daughter's birthday there, and I have also been to some of their holiday/special events. My kids were 0-6 and they loved it. The location is clean, well organized and the staff are very friendly. All guests must leave their shoes in the front and also their strollers. They have a couple of seats around for those who want to sit, but not many. There is a small upstairs area next to the entrance with more tables and chairs for anyone who wants to sit or eat a snack. Not sure if they provide free water for all guests or if it's just for birthdays, but they have water bottles and also sell snacks in the front desk & also they have a small section to buy toys. The area is spacious and kids can do many activities. I recommend this place for birthdays or play dates.

Winter in NYC with a kid is no joke. Before becoming a parent, my main goal on freezing weekends…read morewas staying cozy. Now? It's finding places where my child can actually burn energy when outdoor playgrounds are basically off-limits. Enter Space Club, the solution to this problem. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place was thoughtfully designed with both kids and parents in mind--exactly as they describe on their website. Getting tickets at the door was easy, with no wait: you just provide the phone number associated with your account, and that's it! I really appreciated that tickets aren't strictly timed: you can drop in anytime that day, which takes a lot of pressure off planning. The socks-only policy and large shoe-off area also immediately set the tone for cleanliness (and yes, my white socks stayed white). There are tons of well-padded play areas, obstacle courses, sensory rooms, and quiet corners[1]. Also, unique to this location, a bounce house. Unlike many indoor play gyms, this place is actually enjoyable for adults too. The café offers smoothies, coffee, and snacks[2], and you can bring your own food/drinks. Parking right outside is a rare bonus for Greenpoint. One small downside: despite clear signs saying no food or drinks in the play areas, I saw several parents bringing large coffee drinks (even into the bouncy castle). Not Space Club's fault (in fact, I saw staff members going to some of these parents to ask them to bring their drinks outside the pay areas), but I do wish this rule were enforced more consistently. The temperature runs a bit cooler than at their Fort Greene location, perhaps due to the fact that this is one single, large, floor. While it wasn't uncomfortable at first, I did start to feel chilly after being there for about three hours. Overall, it's clean, well-run, and totally worth it. We'll definitely be back. ------------------------------- [1] Especially great for kids who need a calmer, sensory-friendly environment. [2] Note the no-nuts policy.

I was pleasantly surprised. In all honesty, I was having some real challenges finding a location to…read morehost a party for my son's first birthday. NY Kids Club was recommended to me as an option and they were available. I got lucky. Having the location to ourselves was a big plus. As opposed to other locations where multiple families are hosting parties in close proximity. If you have a setup (balloons, etc), you might want to have someone help with the arrangements to expedite...there are plenty of sites (we used Thumbtack) that are great for projects like this and inexpensive. The gym area is "kid heaven"! All of the kids LOVED it. Their staff did a great job helping us run the itinerary including setting up the food tables, serving food, serving the cake, organizing the games and activities, and more. Overall I was very impressed with the experience and my son's first birthday party was a big success.

Just had my 2 year-old daughter's birthday party here. We had been deciding between using our…read morecondo building's lounge space and an indoor playground. Play was definitely a better choice for us for a number of reasons: 1. Accommodates more people - we had 16 toddlers and at least 20 adults, yet there was enough space for everyone to get comfortable. 2. Theme, Decor, Party favors - Play staff decorated the room, provided party favors (depends on the package you get), ice, plates, utensils, cups, etc. - The devil is in the details, and I was having mini anxiety attacks trying to think of a clever theme and even-more-clever party favors to go with it. I wish I had the time to create original, imaginative favors and decorations--but I don't. They took this burden from me and did a great job. 3. Entertainment - two staffers provided entertainment, playing age-appropriate music and led some song and dance activities. I didn't have to put together a playlist, which saved me hours. My daughter and her little guests were laughing, dancing, and generally have a wonderful time. 4. Prep and cleaning - Play takes care of this for you. They even helped us consolidate my daughter's gifts into bags and wrapped up the leftover food we had brought. 5. Refreshments - (depends on package) they provided cupcakes and juice for the kids. The staff cut the cake I brought and distributed it to the guests. What was I responsible for? I brought non-dessert food for the kids and adults, a cake, soda, and water. And my kid. That's it! It was awesome. There are a number of indoor play spaces to choose from in Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and LIC. I think Play is most appropriate for children ages 1-3.5 (although one of our 7 year old guests still had a lot of fun), which is great. Toddlers won't get trampled by older kids like I've experienced at other play spaces with huge, complicated gym structures. Play has a simple climbing gym and slides, as well as a "household" area with play food, kitchen, dining table, and laundry. They have tents and tunnels, as well as ride-on toys. For new walkers, there's even a "sheltered" area by the window that's a bit separated from the rest of the space where a caregiver and a child can practice walking (and falling) safely. Ownership changed here in the last year, and the new owners are incredibly dedicated to making sure every child and parent is happy. I traded at least a dozen emails with them in the weeks before the party. When we initially came in to check out the space, they really took the time to give us a tour, answer all of our questions ---and most importantly---anticipate our needs. I've been a mom for just two short years and have no idea what a birthday party entails. They do, and they were a huge help when I didn't even know what to ask for. Lastly, I'm a germ phobe, and I saw the staff constantly mopping the floor by the entrance to prevent snow from being trekked in. When the crowd started dying down around nap time (around 1:00), I saw a staffer collecting the play food, presumably to wash. I liked that. There are hand sanitizer dispensers on the walls. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked, including the changing station, which had extra wipes and other things that a parent could easily forget.

I was truly looking forward to spending time here ... as soon as we stepped in, I felt…read moredisappointment come over me just by seeing the size of the space.. first impression was I assumed it was larger. I tried to push through but was then checkin in by the horrible staff member who didnt end smile. Didnt even tell me the total when paying for my two children = $23 + $18 = $41 nor have a receipt. I was told it would be emailed, but never got that either. The cost came with an open room with worn down items, broken toys, no coffee station (even though there is a sign), and not even a stocked bathroom. Toys were bent, old, overly used and wearing off. Even the bins from IKEA were falling apart.. IKEA items should be easily replaced as they are cheap. The facilities was worn down as well, paint chipped or peels off on seating area and slides. Mural is still nice. The "cafe" area seating was pushed to the wall, not allowing a place to sit while the worker was putting streamers on a board for the private room. There is no water fountain to refill your water bottle. Again, advertised coffee and tea.. when asked was told "nothing, you can go to starbucks" as I pointed to the sign the worker said "OH"! I had to give the front desk girl broken items and she left in the lobby area!! I can see her just putting them back in after we leave in order not to deal with it. As a representative of the space, she was horribly spaced out with a negative demeanor as if she hates her job. Private room for classes and parties is cute... I believe this is where their energy goes to. I can see it good for a 1 year bday party. Ages 2 and over for open play with bore out fast. I reflect constently on how truly disappointing it was!!

We explored many options in the neighborhood and I'm convinced that Playgarden is the most nurturing, caring and stimulating environment for little ones. She's learned so much and loves her teachers. It has a strong literary focus and the kids get exposed to music, movement, science, nutrition and letters every week. The teachers work so hard and always impress me with the lessons for children. You can also tell that teachers love their students and their job. From experience, I can say that that is not always the case. We also love getting to take advantage of the indoor playground, especially in bad weather. Can't recommend enough!

The other day I walked by the new Imagination Playground and I wanted to be young again! The NYC Parks department took over this once boring parking lot bordered by John St. and Burling Slip between Front St and South St. The have successfully created a fantastic state-of-art playground for kids. There are water works, sand pits, large form blocks, ramps, bridges and even a tower to climb. They even added a modern restroom. The playground design is revolutionary. I wish my kids are small again so I can visit with them. Hint: do not walk in like me with a camera and start walking around taking pictures; you get a lot of strange stares from the mother bears protecting their cubs. So if you don't have children, go borrow, rent, find a child so you can enjoy this wonderful playground with them. More here: http://imaginationplayground.org/
