On the crap end of what is left of The Shoppes at Carlsbad Mall, someone decided to open an Indoor…read morePark that caters to younger children. It's like if someone crossed a SkyZone Trampoline Park with a McDonald's Playpen and slapped it with a coat of pastel paint and candy stickers. Sorry, CANDEE stickers. I will say that the prices are very reasonable. $25 buys you two hours of playtime. Grip socks are extra, food is extra, some of the games are extra. And the area itself is impressively clean, especially considering the number of young children traipsing about. On the negative side of things, however, the list is a bit longer. First, there's not a ton to do. Candeeland has limited space to work with and much of it is taken up by sitting areas for parents. The empty space could easily house 2-3 more small activities without sacrificing any existing areas. Still, what activities they do have are pretty intricate, with the multilevel play area having a nice array of padded areas for children to crawl through and a toddler area with nice pneumatic tube setup to delight the young. Next, even though the place is less than a year old, there's already some breakage of some of the area. There's a floor made up of touch screens that displays numerous games for kids to step on a play with. However, it's apparent that some larger kids have smacked a number of screens, causing them to go out or flicker. Which leads to my biggest issue. There are not that many people working here. This means that there are usually people minding the gate and checking if your kid is leaving with the right person. But, there aren't enough people on the floor to ensure safety or police older kids from doing things they shouldn't be doing. Candeeland really is a place that caters to those between 3-8 years of age. Older kids either don't fit on some of the slides or play a bit too rough with the environment. More than once, a screaming 12 year old almost barreled over my kid, knocked her off a slide, or hit her with one of the nerf axes. Sure, they balk when you glare at them. But, they just go back to screaming and thrashing about while their parents sleep oblivious in the corner. So, does my seven year old like Candeeland? Yes, she loved it and wants to come back. Did I like Candeeland? M'eh, not particularly. Still, I'm sure I'll be back eventually...

The manager, Jack, truly went above and beyond to make the entire party easy to coordinate and ensure everything ran smoothly. He was incredibly helpful, attentive, and made sure both the kids and parents had a wonderful experience. It was honestly one of the easiest and most stress-free kids' parties I've ever thrown, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the celebration too. Such a fun and memorable experience for everyone. We highly recommend Ninja Factory Vista!

Not my thing. We…read morebrought the grandkids here to meet up with their friends for a group birthday celebration. I have never quite witnessed so many kids ages 7-12 with so much haphazard recklessness, running full speed in every imaginable direction. All of them. Imagine, 150 kids running full speed in every direction. Then a large handful of adults or parents running in every imaginable OPPOSITE direction. I saw several kids slam into another kid as they go around an obstacle on the floor. I care, no concern. I also saw two kids running, NO . . . now walking bleeding from their nose and another from the mouth. This should be outlawed. CritDicks

I normally don't write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. I came in with my…read moresister-in-law and nephews, and since it was my first time, I asked the front desk employee, Nina (I believe that was her name), about the pricing and process. Instead of explaining the process, she repeatedly asked me to have my sister-in-law confirm that I was with them before allowing me through the front gate. My sister-in-law was already inside caring for her 5-month-old and 3-year-old, yet she was asked to come to the front gate twice to confirm that I was with them. The facility itself is very nice, clean, and welcoming, and the baristas were incredibly sweet. My only concern was the front desk communication. I think the front desk staff should explain the process and policies clearly, especially to first-time visitors such as aunts, uncles, or grandparents who are there with family. A little more patience and professionalism would have made the experience much better. I'm giving 3 stars mainly because the baristas were so kind and welcoming. Otherwise, based on my experience at the front desk, I would have given 1 star.

You just know the area is very well taken care of and sanitized regularly--they definitely know their priorities here. The space is HUGE. They have everything you can imagine a great indoor playground could have--a jungle gym with slides, an inflatable bouncy house, a colorful net structure that kids can climb into, a toddler area with structures for all sorts of imaginative play, a ball pit, and even an infant area. One thing of note that I really like about this place as well is that their restrooms are always pristine, stocked up with supplies, and smelled good! This place just checks all the boxes for us and we'll always keep coming back here. Plus, my little one loves it!

Waivers are required by all individuals going in, and they put a wristband on you before you enter. Once inside, there are several different soft play areas, including trampolines, ball pits, interactive screens, and even a section for toddlers three and under. I also liked that they had claw machines and mechanical rides, which my LO really enjoyed. The five coins that they give you is nice and you can always purchase more. Restrooms were also clean and they had bathroom slippers at the entrance to wear in. There's a water tower by the bathroom. They also had a TV near the food area, and many dads were standing around it on a Sunday afternoon. All to say, this place really was fun for all!

Probably work for those parents I see that let their kids run loose and they're just sitting on their phone but for parents like myself and my husband, we really can only handle about an hour at this place. Make sure you wear socks or you can also pay $3 to buy some. The place is clean from the looks of it. There are some things that had the paint peeled off and one game wasn't working but that wasn't too noticeable. They have an area specifically for those 2 years and younger and then an area for kids ages 3+. My son did both since he's in between but primarily stayed in the 3+. I'd be back to let him burn off some energy. Only thing I didn't like was we couldn't park our stroller inside.

So it's been a couple months now since I've had my child go to play pie. And it's been helpful for…read moremy child's schedule and routine. I've hesitated a lot to post but as I've been coming almost everyday or having a monthly membership it seems like I MUST due to some lacking of how the business is being run. 1. The staff/ employees are not attentive to running the business hours. They are nice but they do not pay attention to the customers. There will be days where the devices like the carousel is not plugged in to start the day when it's past the opening time. I would ask couple of times on different days letting them know it's not plugged in. (My husband also had gone couple times told me the carousel was not plugged in). Not only the carousel but the arcade for Mario Kart would not be set up where I would call up an employee and ask them about it to set up so the kids not just my child can play ready to go. When a business opens the place should be ready to go for the customers but it would be funny that the customer would have to ask to have the things ready. I am surprised and frustrated because I'm like wondering why isn't the carousel working? Is it broken? No it was just not plugged in ready to go. Why would the business be opened if it's not ready for its customers to use their equipment? I've seen sadly that the employees are just having fun amongst themselves talking in the front but they don't pay attention to the customers wanting to purchase food or drinks or snacks where they have to then just go to the front. I've seen some parents calling the staff for attention but they're not answering where they end up walking to the front. Seeing that is very frustrating because the employees are not doing their job. They don't watch our kids but at least pay attention to the customers trying to purchase one of their own goods. 2. The cleanliness IS NOT MAINTAINED.. This week my mother in law went to play pie and told me she had killed a roach near the car carousel. I'm so sad and disgusted to hear this. I don't know how the facility is being taken care of or how often but this explains a lot. I'm very disappointed to hear this because my child loves to come here but seeing some things on how the business is run makes me feel lack of trust, worries and not safe environment. I'm just hoping things can improve..

Paige is one of those teachers who brings passion, innovation, and learning into the baby play…read moregroup. I was really impressed by the overall ambience of her teaching space. You will not find any cheap plastic or overly stimulating toys here. Paige carefully selected all furniture, play structures, and toys, to eliminate contact with hazardous materials or chemicals, and to give the babies a natural, open exploration experience. When you walk in, you feel a sense of serenity and calm as a parent, that your child will be able to play and explore freely without constraints. Paige's philosophy in our play group is to maximize the baby's sense of freedom and give them a completely open "yes" space to explore. As a parent, we are of course encouraged to intervene to make sure our baby is safe and that other babies are safe as well. Most of the time, we get to discuss the experience of parenting with other moms and dads, and watch our daughter explore this nicely designed learning space. In the "seeds" class (4-10 months), we begin by discussing what new behavior or movement we observed in our baby. Then we allow all the children to play. I cannot express enough what a joy it is to see my daughter interact with others in harmony, and explore her own interests and abilities. During the play time, Paige will also discuss parenting tips and strategies, often based upon a theme in articles/write ups that she sends to us the week before. Paige then wraps up the class with super fun songs, such as Clean Up, Mr. Sunshine, and many others that both parents and babies enjoy. I have heard stories from other parents about play groups that were unsafe and not entirely conducive towards free play. At My Village, you will be amazed at just how wonderful your baby can play with others if given the right space and teacher. Paige is such a great teacher and host (thanks for the coffee and tea), and always there for support and discussion. Try checking out from her little library too, which offers baby story books and wonderful books on how to parent with respect.

I clarified that they were paid for, but she continued to say they weren't, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. My little sister actually went to put the cookies back because she thought she had done something wrong. Valerie also let me know that we were past our allotted time, which I completely understand and had no issue with. However, her tone and the way she handled both situations felt unnecessarily unfriendly, especially for an environment centered around young children. I understand employees have rules to enforce, but I wish the situation had been handled with a little more patience and kindness, particularly when speaking about a 3-year-old child. It definitely made our experience less enjoyable.
