I think it's a great resource to have, a safe place for kids to hang out and learn something without screens. Even in school now with the use of iPads, kids don't use their hands and they don't interact like they used to. This is face to face interaction, learning to make friends with kids you don't know and just having educational fun.

Every summer, they look forward to attending and always come home excited about what they've learned. The instructors are not only passionate about teaching but also incredibly kind and encouraging. Strategic Kids has been such a positive influence in my children's growth and love for chess. I truly hope we can continue the summer program for many years to come!

It really pains me to leave a critical review but I do feel this is important to help the business improve. It's really as simple as making the place not smell like pee and sweat. Other than this, everything else was good. The girl working in the front, she was super nice. Chuck E was cute and the children love him. I thought the place had a great variety of games to offer and my son was really happy there. Please just clean the place or take out the carpets or have better maintenance.

The only bad thing is the parking since a class ends at six and starts at six so there is no parking you have to wait for one to open up. But it is a really nice gym all the kids are so good!

I assume this gym is better staffed during normal use. However, I thought it was way understaffed…read moreand lacked adequate supervision for a bday party. Parents were not pros at identifying the various items out on the floor and it was a minefield to navigate it all so you could easily turn an ankle on equipment. I watched a couple little girls stumble and start crying because of this. The bday had a game that 2 staff members ran but otherwise they were largely absent on the gym floor. There was no instruction, no structure otherwise. Kids wandered between the bounce house to every piece of equipment with total access. As a parent I kept close to my child to help him but I liked other party venues a lot better because they had staff to get involved and show safe ways to use equipment they had put on the floor. On a hot day over 80 degrees there was no a/c except up in the upstairs party room. I was very hot and uncomfortable as were the kids. Thankfully I brought my son's water to keep him hydrated. Everyone was sweaty and gross. Add to that the venue did not require socks, it seemed a ripe environment for athletes foot or other germs to flourish as I did not notice the equipment or mats looked particularly clean. Nobody was cleaning after use either like at other venues. Overall, nice idea but I think staff needs to think about execution of a bday party better. There is a wide variety of equipment but no instruction, little space between the equipment, and random jump boards everywhere that I don't think 5 yr olds were equipped to navigate well.

Our son started with Mercadel Basketball when he was 9 years old, and now at 13, we can honestly…read moresay it has been one of the best decisions we've made. Coach Henry and Coach Drew have done an incredible job developing not only our son's basketball skills but also his character, confidence, work ethic, and life skills. They genuinely care about each player and challenge them to become the best version of themselves, both on and off the court. One thing we appreciate most is Coach Henry's and Coach Drew's coaching style. After playing in more than 30 tournaments each year, we've seen a lot of different coaching styles. Some are far too hard on kids, while others don't challenge them enough. Coach Henry and Coach Drew have found the perfect balance. They hold the players accountable, push them to improve, encourage teamwork, continue development all while making each player feel valued and supported. As a Christian family, we also deeply appreciate the values Coach Henry brings to the program. Integrity, respect, humility, and encouragement are evident in the way he leads the team, and that means so much to us. We are so excited that our younger son will be joining Mercadel this August. Watching the growth our older son has experienced over the past four years has given us complete confidence that this is the right place for him as well. We truly feel blessed to be part of the Mercadel Basketball family and are incredibly grateful for everything Coach Henry, Coach Drew, and the entire program have poured into our son. We couldn't recommend Mercadel more highly.

I honestly don't know where you would go during tournaments outside of dropping your kid off and circling. There's no curb parking and all businesses have "we will tow" signs. If that stress isn't enough, there's no snack bar or beer license. Lol. The vending machines work and are reasonably priced. Lots of restaurants in a short driving distance. Temperature: colder than a sweatshirt but my Mom puffer is almost borderline too warm. Staff is nice, bathrooms are always relatively clean. They run a tough club hockey program & charge according. Maybe it's gone down since they no longer have AAA availability. Two seasons ago it was just a smidge less than Ducks but more than OCHC and Wave.

However, the Zamboni guy did a half ass job and the ice was pretty much like a lake for the first few minutes of the game. Locker rooms were small but pretty clean.

Overall, it's another decent rink in Southern California if you want to play some hockey.
