From the reviews

The play area is great!! Great price!! Convenient!! It’s the parents that need reviews. 96% of the parents do Not supervise their child/children! I know this because every time we go, I’m supervising my child & every other adult head is facing down at their phones.

★★★★☆ — Chelle, Nov 2023

This is a great place for 6 and under. I strongly recommend this for toddlers who are independent climbers and explorers. Some younger children will need their parent/adult to go with them (obviously) but adults are not allowed inside the top of the climbing area.

AMAZING AMAZING PLACE !! Brought my 8 month old and 2 year old grandchildren for a week as they visited me from out of state. How long you can bring babies for a walk outside ??? so this place really saved me for the week. Safe, Clean, Professional, Friendly. PERFECT PLACE for them to get their energy out.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Jul 2021

Visited for the first time today with my daughter to do something fun for her 2nd Birthday! She had a BLAST! It is always nice to play with her but today not only did I play with her I was able to watch her run around and be a kid! It is the perfect set up for her age! Everything is safe and padded etc.

Birthday parties at ProKids Place

ProKids Place 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.
