My 4 yo son was invited here for a 2 hour birthday party in April. In the gym, with a loud zumba class behind the curtain, the kids were put on connecting scooters and slid from side to side by one of the party coordinators, then played parachute, then hula hoops or a soccer ball. It was like exercise disguised as a party! But my son had a smile on the whole time because he was with his friends and he loved every minute of it! It looked like the guests of honor were having fun, too. The parents sat on the side on benches and watched. After the playing was over, we were led upstairs to a meeting room for pizza (NYPD) and cake. Again the parents sat on the side, watching the kids eat and laugh. Behind us a window looking down into their indoor pool complete with water slides and a fountain. All in all, it was very organized and the atmosphere was fun and boisterous. I'd recommend this place for a kid's birthday party or for joining membership since I saw they have computers for kids in the kid area while parents go work out. It's a huge place!
