    Tim was booked for my 5 year-old's birthday party after seeing him at another party about 2 years earlier, and my daughter was STILL excited to do it all again this time as a hostess. He was on time, easy to work with, very friendly and communicated very well. Tim was everything we hoped he would be and more. He was sooooo good with the kids (of all ages). The trailer is all clean & organized, up to date, and air-conditioned. He took 14 kids in there on a hot June day and had them all rocking and sifting and just really into it for over an hour. And it was great for the parents too because it was just rockin' cool stuff, and it was quality time with your child as you see in the photos. And some parents preferred to sit in their chairs and let Tim take over for 90 minutes which was nice for parents, too! He even accommodated some sibling pairs on the same stations which worked out great. And it is easy for the kids to do it on their own, which I think is part of why they love it so much. At the end of the "dig", the birthday girl got to crack open her own geode and this is where Tim was at his best. She must have hit that rock 50 times and kept at it and Tim was so good at encouraging her, explaining safety protocols, making her laugh and keeping all the kids' interest while doing so. I teach high school social studies. There is a sound that teachers strive for, like a hum or buzz of energetic language, excitement, discovery, and learning, and I heard that hum for over an hour. Tim definitely could have been a public school teacher had he been crazy enough to try. We will be booking him again in 3 years when my 2 year-old turns 5. Thanks for helping make it a perfect day, Tim.

    We celebrated my rock-loving daughter's 11th birthday party by having Tim's Gems come to our home. We had 10 kids that ranged in age from 5 to 12 and every single one of them LOVED this. Tim was PHENOMENAL. He was polite, great with the kids, excited, and full of fun knowledge. His gem truck is awesome - very neat and clean. The gems and fossils the kids found were so cool, and he made sure the birthday girl got something a extra special in her bucket! The kids and even the parents were really impressed. Thank you, Tim, for the most awesome birthday experience ever! You're a gem! ;)

    FIVE STAR RATING!!!The kids ALL had a great time! Tim was very friendly, informative and attentive. It was a fun activity for my son's 8th birthday.

    To say that Chikitaki is really good would be a gross understatement. They were phenomenal…read more Everybody kept coming up and telling me it was the best kids party ever. They showed up on time. There were costume changes, bubbles, a light show, music, a puppet show, the list goes on and on. The adults enjoyed it just as much if not more than the adults. I always try to top the year before with my son's birthdays parties but there is no way to top Chikitaki so I guess I'll be seeing them again next year. I'll definitely be seeing them again next year.

Why all of this fun you ask well it's because they have a great team of party entertainment to cheer them on and actually they (particularly one of the gals who looks like actress Maria Conchita Alonso back in the day) is dressed kinda of like a cheerleader complete with Go-Go boots which gives adults like me something to enjoy. They provide music, songs, professional DJ, party lights, clowns, costume characters, face painting, contest and games, photography, puppet shows, and a whole lot more for up to a couple of hours to give your little ones a party to remember. I must say that they did wrangle up all the kids and kept them entertained for a long time well at least they weren't jumping on me and I got a chance to eat some food. They gave a nice interactive show involving all the kids and kept them busy. A few tears came about when Elmo came out, always same reactions with Santa too. They watch them on TV and in the picture books but yet face to face with the characters they get scared....... I don't get it..... anyway my friends thought that they were great I thought that they put on a nice show for the children everybody was happy. They arrived on time did a great job and I don't think their prices were too high at all but they have different packages available so adjustments are made to suite the needs of the event. So good entertainment group for kids at least 2 and up they also adjust activities to medium age of the party goers and they even get the adults involve with the little games too so be ready to look crazy but it's all good.

I wanted to recreate the fun of a casino night with poker, blackjack, and craps, and it turned out even better than I imagined. We were able to personalize the funny money with our photo, which was such a cute, memorable touch. It was an absolute hit--our guests couldn't stop dancing and loved playing all the games, from the kids to the older adults! Even the dealers mentioned how much fun they had with our group. The team was so easy to work with, everything ran smoothly, and there weren't any hiccups at all. I'd highly recommend them to make any event more fun and unforgettable!

Matt D'Ercole was helpful and easy to work with as we decided what we could afford and needed. Very enthusiastic!! We found their prices quite reasonable. They provided the "money" for our gaming with our LOGO on it, which was fun! Our dealers, Nick and Kim, were great! They fit right into our event, which was a 1920's Speak Easy Murder Mystery dinner. Everyone loved being at the tables and "dealing" with Nick and Kim. Both dealers and the tables looked very professional. I would use Always Fun Casinos again, and I recommend them highly to anyone who is interested in renting casino tables/games/dealers at your event. You won't be disappointed! They delivered!!

We started a year ago, and my daughter has gained skills and confidence, thanks to the excellent coaching staff. Their professionalism and love for the girls is second to none. When the owner of the gym goes out of her way to make sure your child isn't left out, you know this truly is a family. I have seen the optional coaches help, correct and literally cheer on my child in the gym. I have watched xcel coaches do the same. She has never been told she couldn't try a new skill, but is encouraged to try it and feels safe with the coach(es). There is nothing but love for the girls in that gym. As far as the PA, they've been open and honest with the parents, as long as you read emails and check the Facebook page specifically for the parents. They hold meetings with the families to make sure things are clear. They dealt with the covid backlash with openness and worked with the parents to keep costs low. And believe me, the costs are low compared to other gyms! This is the best gym, and I am so thankful we made the jump!

She was actually bored by January and kept fighting me on going any more because they weren't challenging her. I was told they work on those skills in the summer, and yet they were at the gym for 12 hours a week, doing the same thing over and over. We finally withdrew the week before states because of lack of management and they wanted an additional 500 dollars per gymnist. This was not in any contract and there was always another fee.
