The kids facilities look great but that's not what I use or know about. The pool is clean (only 25ft, the usual), not crowded most of the day (and if crowded the lifeguards are great at arranging the circle swim for those of us unlikely to wait ). Most times only 1 or 2 in each lane. We re spoiled. Great steam bath. Hot tub can be hotter, pool can be cooler , and sauna just hot. But après workout great to use. Great tools in gym ... hour long treadmills with uphill and down hill! Stair master! Assisted pull up for us weaklings. I see all sorts of classes /parties/ straps cycling/ yoga/ weight watchers .... seems like quite the hub Of community activity. Even the Founders Hall is next door for us geezers. Good parking (why do we look for close spots when we are here to workout?). Best part is nice folks and you can get in and out quick and safe OR be social. GREAT price for resident$ !

Whether for birthday parties, camp or just the playground we are here quite often and my kiddo…read moreloves it. The playground is never too crowded and though it's part of the rec center there is no membership needed. For those that are members or want to do a day pass they also have an indoor pool and splash pad play area. The splash pad is fun but the individuals they choose to monitor it really deter from the whole experience. The other weekend we were there and my daughter and two friends were playing Barbie's and decided to wet their hair. No throwing them or anything wild just wet their hair. A woman first approached one of the girls (a 5 year old) and sternly told her that was not allowed. Which in and of itself was not acceptable. Kids being kids they went again to wet Barbie's hair and along came the same woman, only this time she confronted the mom. The mom said she'd stop it and asked the woman if in the future she would not address issue directly with her child rather come directly to her. She pointed out the tone of the woman voice used ti speak to children to which the woman stood there and begun confronting the mom. Stating repeatedly this is my voice and I'm not shouting. We all stayed calm and simply asked her to walk away. She repeated herself a few more times before walking back to her chair. All that being said, apart from the overwatch at the splash pad it is a fun place to take the kiddos.

This is a review of First Person Sports, the laser tag facility in Sportsplex@Fairfield in…read moreFairfield, CT. We just had our son's 8th birthday there and it was FANTASTIC!!! It was, in all honesty, the best birthday party he's ever had. We took the MetroNorth train in from New York City (only 72 min) and we walked to FPS from the train station with several of our son's friends. (FPS is literally right across from the train station, although walking along the huge parking lot takes some time). Keith and Rob and their staff were fabulous and made laser tag fun and easy for the nine kids and several adults who played. The equipment is brand new and amazingly accurate with fantastic range. The guns are heavy (5-8lbs), which makes them seem even more realistic. The boys, all decked out in vests and laser guns, were basically in a state of bliss and the adults had even more fun. Keith and Rob were careful to make it extra fun for the birthday boy--making him captain of one of the teams, letting him choose the other captain, making the captains responsible for retrieving the light sticks during one of the games, and making the birthday boy's birthday the code for diffusing the briefcase bomb (just like in the movies!) in another game. The facility itself is designed to resemble a post-apocolyptic airport, reminiscent of certain zombie movies and video games like call of duty and halo, with graffiti on the wall warning all passersby of zombies and the dangers of bathrooms, and bleakly stating that "All is Lost." We loved it!! Although we rented the party room for only 1/2 hour after the hour of laser tag, Keith and Rob let us take our time eating pizza and cake and then wrapping up the festivities (there were no back-to-back parties that day). Also, since their "x-box room" was not rented, Keith and Rob let a younger sibling watch cartoons on a huge-screened television while the 8 year olds were playing. Rob even found some extra birthday candles for us (since I forgot them back in Manhattan). The staff were as accommodating and helpful as they were knowledgeable. All in all, a terrific birthday party experience.

Facilities are amazing but that's about where it stops in terms of positive reviews. I'm sure it's…read morea vast generalization and perhaps each section of the complex is independent in operation BUT the kids gymnastics was a horror experience for our daughter - think lime time trauma! Trial class scared the child as there were no accommodations to welcome or educate on the routine. Fear developed quickly so a second attempt a week later was scheduled in hopes it was an anomaly but it wasn't. Things went from bad to worse. Office staff wanted to charge us as a second trial visit which was fine but they were ignoring the trauma in development and the submitted paperwork of enrollment (showing clear commitment but reticent due to 3 yr old reaction. We got through that, then there was the inflexibly and insensitive approach yet again as our daughter walked into the gym space. Less than 5 minutes and tears were like a river!!! We tried to dork out an option to arrive 15 minutes early in hopes to get a "show and tell" of the environment but the front desk were so closed minded even that wasn't an option. Can only imagine what will be next, clearly we aren't enrolling our daughter, will they charge us anyway. To be determined (continued)...
