| - What: indoor rock climbing 10th birthday party! This place is HUGE and so cute with all the colors! It looked like fruity pebbles everywhere.
Service: Great professional customer service from beginning to end with Mackenzie. She answered all my questions on the phone and emailed me to follow up. Technically, we were supposed to have 2 helpers, but the place was empty and we ended up with 4 helpers, so yay! Joey, Sam and the two gals that pitched in were really awesome. The kids got pooped out and their fingers started to hurt, so they mixed it up with some games of dodgeball and night at the museum. After cake there was still some time to kill so they played another round of dodgeball - these kids had endless energy!
Cost: birthday parties are $19 a person with a minimum of 12 kids with a ratio of 1:6 (1 helper for every 6 kids) for 2 hours. We invited her whole class, but ended up with 11 kids total. Seriously, parents do not understand RSVP!! Kills me. Parties include the party room, 2 helpers and special shoes and harness for each kid. Each kid got a free day pass for a future use instead of a traditional goodie bag. Upon request, they will create a personalized invitation that you can print out for each kid. I printed them in color at FedEx/Kinkos. You need to bring your own decorations, table clothes, plates, napkins, forks, drinks, knife, etc. which is fine by me because I would do that anyway.
Location: hard to find as on Google Maps it's hard to understand that the place is located in the back!
Tip: I think this party venue is good for the older kids (maybe 9 and up) that can control themselves a bit more, are more independent to be able to clip themselves in/out and listen to the rules for climbing and getting back down and watching out for people below.
They have reasonably priced summer camps too ($150/per week early registration) so we may have to check that out too!
