What climbers say again and again
“Super Clean establisment, lots of great space for kids to run around, comfy bench for this mama to sit at and watch her babes play!”
“My kids love doing an art project and then spending time in the gym.”
“As a grandmother who has been to numerous children’s birthday parties I was very impressed with the quality of my granddaughter’s recent birthday party here.”
From the reviews
I took my two children here today for the first time since being residents in Stamford and I am so glad I did. This place is great if you want your children to explore their creativity. My kids had a blast. They wanted to keep painting. They also couldn't wait to go play upstairs in the Playscape.
I have been coming here for about 2 years. So much to do. My kids (now 3/6) can climb, jump, slide, gymnastics, build houses, play with unlimited toys we cannot fit in our house, paint if they get bored (for a fair and fun price/memory) color/draw for no charge.
Love this place, we have been here a few times and love how there's so much room for my toddler to run around. There's so many toys (always cleaned up and kept organized), foam blocks / gymnastics tumbling mats and balance beams, and then a huge play structure. Bathrooms were clean.
What an amazing place! My family and I were visiting Stamford and this was one of the best activities we did. The staff was so kind, friendly and patient. There’s something for all ages, my older kids were able to take their time painting while my youngest was able to play in the indoor gym.
Birthday parties at Best Time Ever and Best Place Ever
Best Time Ever and Best Place Ever hosts birthday parties, going by their listing and visitor reviews. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
