From the reviews
Great for toddlers and elementary school aged kids. So we loved it. They had a bit of a rough start I know we originally had some issues booking, but now with two locations here, I think they have it work out now. We adored that they had great staff working to help the kids as well as a super clean facility.
Came here with my 6 year old for a birthday party and had an absolute blast! Make sure to wear comfortable clothes (both adults and kids!), you'll want to syck by your kids to help so be prepared to be at least a little active. If you're there with a little (under 3 maybe?
My daughter celebrated her 3rd birthday here. She was sad she wasn't able to do the rock climbing or other activities. She ended up having a good time in the designated area for her age.
I recently took my son to Funtopia and it was an absolute blast! The facility was clean, well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The highlight of our visit was definitely the rock climbing wall. My son is an avid climber and he was blown away by the variety of routes and the challenge of the wall.
Birthday parties at Funtopia Glenview
Funtopia Glenview hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. 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.
Kids classes & camps at Funtopia Glenview
