| - I'd like to start off by saying, I'm typically the type of person who is grossed out by everything. I don't like being dirty and I'm kind of a snob.
After reading all the reviews on here last night, including the tips, the reviews they don't feature on here and the ones on Facebook, I was a little weary about going here. I was invited to a birthday party with my kid who is 3, so I figured why not it's free. Now bc I didn't have to pay for anything, I can't speak to prices, but holy moly; I've never seen my kid so excited before in her short little life!
She. Lost. Her. Mind.
Jambo's caters to the tiny humans. If your child is over, maybe 7, this may not be the best place for them as it may or may not interest them. But under...wow. My daughter loved it. The lines were short so she was able to ride over and over again. We waited maybe 3-5mins if an attendant wasn't available to operate a ride, which is fine bc they would let the kids stay on and go again providing they didn't have a line and they had all day wrist bands.
I was really impressed by the issues mentioned in previous yelp reviews that were corrected when I was there.
The jungle gym area had no hole in the netting, the dining area was clean, all the rides were function (though some of the games were not, however the ones that were gave out a crap ton of tickets)
The staff was friendly and sweet. I really liked how well they interacted with the kids. I've worked for a competitor before when I was in high school and trust me, these jobs aren't fun for anyone. The fact that the staff here was able to be friendly and fun to the kids on a Saturday at noon, that says a lot. Way different than I expected.
The food will get a pass from me even though it wasn't terribly good, I have to keep in mind that this is supposed to be geared towards kids. They like simple and basic items (at least most kids do, calm down elitist parents who can get their kids to eat only the finest foods and ingredients) so I didn't expect the pizza to be great.
The reason that the food didn't lose a star in my review was also bc Jambos was able to provide a guest with an unexpected (to the party hosts) gluten allergy with an alternative glutton free lunch. Well played.
I've got to hand it to the new management. They are trying their hardest to take care of this place and revive it from the ashes the previous guy left it in. People need to realize they only had new management at the beginning of 2015, so everything is going to take time. The key issues have been address so the others will happen slowly but surely.
In conclusion, I would come back here. They deserve a fresh slate and I think it was worth seeing the joy on my daughters face
Tips for the management:
A deep cleaning once every 3 months never hurts, however it's not as bad as the previous yelpers have said.
The golf course could use a little love. Or some coverings on those sharp edges.
***Update to my previous review***
I had my daughters birthday party here in Nov of 2015 and it was a fantastic experience once again. I was NOT over charged, my attendant was sweet and helpful, it was an AWESOME price (I had 15 kids there for under $250, that's a great deal) and most importantly my daughter had the best birthday ever.
