From the reviews
This is a great place to spend a couple of hours with your children. The staff were friendly and professional. The check in process was quick and efficient. There were plenty of staff assisting the children. They had ample seating for adults. An overall fun time. My 8 year old twins loved every moment.
Hapik, where do I start. The first thing I noticed was how clean this place is! It’s also super safe and has a lot of space for kids to climb the 4 floor jungle gym. Gabriel was the staff member who really was kind, patient and helped me and my family today.
The location was easy to find within the mall, and the staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We visited on a weekday with my toddler and two toddler friends to celebrate a birthday.
This was a great experience! We celebrated our kiddo’s birthday party here . The climbing experience was really fun, lots of colorful climbing options and other stuff , including soft play area. It’s clean and plenty of space . They have a separate sitting / food area to cut the cake , eat food and chill .
