"Spark labs is an amazing place in the 280 sports building. In the same building there is a kids hair cut place, an escape room, a swim place, a gym, and various other activities.Spark labs hosts Snapology camps, which is Lego based camps that include STEM and other learning opportunities. You can also request to use the space for a group meeting, like a book club, D&D night, work meeting, Pokémon club, etc. They also plan to start a parents night out and other activities during the school year."
"We had such a fun time here! The staff was so accommodating, the facilities were clean, and nice, the music was great!My friend and I are far from professional skaters, and we will definitely be back here!"
"What a surprise to find such a quaint little place in the bowels of the Hilton Anatole. Took the grandcub to see Jack and the Beanstalk and we both had a great time. The ambiance is great-they obviously took a lot of time designing their space, and it was worth it. The staff are all extremely friendly and love showing the kids how the puppets and marionettes work. The show itself is fun and not long, so little ones do not have the opportunity to become bored. After the show the kids were taken on stage for pictures with the marionettes and then backstage to see how things worked. They all seemed to be having a great time.Also make sure to get the reduced parking pass-takes the parking down to 5 bucks!Can't wait for the next production!"
"Awesome place. A little small but super fun. We came here with a 9 year old and an 8 year old. Mostly they did the zip line obstacle course. They weren't scared at all and loved it. I would never be able to do any of it so I'm thoroughly impressed. Seems they also do birthday parties here."
"My son has been obsessed with American Ninja Warrior and when we found out this place existed near our house, we were thrilled. Coach Ky and his staff did an excellent job making sure my son had a great and memorable birthday! The facility is nice, clean and new. Bathrooms are large and clean. All the kids had so much fun and loved all the fun obstacles. While the kids had fun, the parents were able to watch from the adjoining room and actually talk and visit. There is so much flexibility with bringing in whatever food/drink and decor you want. They help you to set up and make the birthday experience fun and easy. I thought the price was fair and affordable considering everything that comes with it. My son has already asked when he can go back. I highly recommend this place! Coach Ky went above and beyond to make sure my son had the best birthday and it's one he will remember forever. Thank you Coach Ky and USA Ninja!! We will be back."
"It's like an oversized stuffed animal on wheels that moves slowly. These animals have been around since like 2014. They were making kids smile back then and they continue to make kids smile now. The Safari Animals have funny faces and are really colorful.It's located in the central part of Ridgemar Mall.There's a Hispanic girl that works there and she is really nice! She has a very nice personality.You pick out an animal and buy your time on these animals. Lol. That sounds so funny. Which means you are charged by the minute. When your time is up, simply return it, if not, the animal will freeze where ever your at. If you wanna ride longer just add more minutes.It's a must do activity for kids. Just so you know, adults can ride too. Ive seen Teenagers riding on here having the time of their life!I recommend you unleash the animal inside you and go rent one. You won't be in a Safari for sure but, instead you'll be in a ghosted mall, thinking of all the stores that used to be there."
"Played pickleball here during the summer and had a great time. Staff was so friendly and helpful. We were rusty and needed a refresher on some of the rules; they gladly went through it with us even though we were just there to play on our own. You can rent a court by the hour, starting on the hour (not starting on half hours).Compared to other places we have played, the pricing is a little high, but it's indoor and we got out of the heat, so it was worth it! It's more of a gym than a social places like chicken n pickle. No food/bar etc here."
"Took my youngest (4) here a couple of months ago and we LOVED it! The price was great and he had so much fun! We loved the rock wall, all the different types of swings, the sensory room with the dim lighting, bubble tube, and the comfy chairs was my favorite place, it definitely gave me some inspiration for my own kiddos calm down area! My son LOVED the zip line, he probably did it 100 times in a row a very neat place for ALL children! Will definitely be back!"
"Great little place for kids from 3-8 I would say. Extremely clean. My son who is 6 loved it. Great place to use his imagination and energy. They do birthdays upstairs. Open hours through the week. We will be back soon!"
"My 10 year old daughter attended the anime painting summer camp and she loved it! She made lots of friends and asked for me to enroll her in more classes. Her paintings came out great and she said the instructors were awesome. I reccomend 100%!"
"It's hard to give anything less than 5 stars to a FREE, CLEAN, indoor playground for kids. We do not attend this church (although, we have once, if only to experience the beautiful a cappella performance), which makes us all the more thankful that they open their doors to the public multiple times a week. There is plenty of seating for parents and clean restrooms nearby. There is a smaller, enclosed area for babies directly adjacent to the large indoor jungle gym. The playscape is located in the center of the church building. You can park at any entrance of the church in order to access the playscape. Just walk through the doors and toward the center. On a HOT Wednesday at 5pm, we were the only people there. There were a couple of people milling about the church, but not many, and if weren't for the hours being posted on the website I would have thought we made a mistake and showed up at closing. I seem to remember them having a cafe pre-COVID, but it was now closed (temporarily or permanently I'm not sure). I packed bagged dinners for my kids to eat in the car on the way there. I wrapped up a sandwich, chips, and a drink for my husband and I and we enjoyed a mini dinner date while the kids played. Fun for all! SUMMER HOURS (as of 6/18/2021)Saturday and Sunday 3:00-5:00pmMonday-Thursday 5:00-6:30pm"
"The staff is great and the location is the great. It's great for kids bday parties. The only negative thing I have to say about this place is there is no AC where the parents wait/lobby. It can get hot during summer!!"

This is a very clean and nice skating rink. They just need more seating or cut off how many people can come in. It was too crowded this day. But besides that it was fun.

My kids love these and they're a great distraction as you visit the Ridgmar mall to do some shopping. They are very safe and easy to stay on while moving. There's restrictions like not taking them into stores and you can't go by the movie theater, but there's plenty of room to roam on your zebra, unicorn or horse :-)The staff is friendly and you rarely have to wait for one to be available, although they sometimes need to be recharged after a long ride, which takes all of 15 minutes. Here's from their site: Soft, lovable, safe, and rideable. Those Animals combine the fun of an amusement ride with the convenience of a stroller. They're perfect for riders of all ages, and the smiles will start the minute you see them rolling through the mall. Simple operation makes Those Animals easy to use for kids aged 2 to 80. And if you're walking beside one of Those Animals never fear! They go about the same speed you walk, so you'll easily be able to keep your little ones in sight. You might even be tempted to jump on one too! Take a ride on Those Animals at Ridgmar Mall located on the lower level near the elevator and available for rental:HoursMonday - Thursday- 4:00p - 8:00pFriday - 12:00p - 9:00pSaturday - 11:00a - 9:00pSunday - 12:00p - 6:00pPrices$6 for 10 minutes$12 for 30 minutes$20 for 60 minutesThey accept cash/debit/credit cards

Amazing facility for ninja fun and training for those starting out, all the way up to elite athletes who compete globally. Owner is beyond positive and encouraging, from both a physical and mental perspective. Also very cool pickleball courts if that's your interest. Definitely worth checking out!

Took my son ( autistic ) for the first time due to good reviews. When we got there the young men assumed that we had a membership. No greeting just " what's the name"? I then told him. It was our first time there. I would recommend hiring someone that would be happy to be there. Pay them a little more to put a smile on their face after all they are working with children all day. We were in there for a Max of five minutes and not even questioned if everything was okay or if we would like a refund.

"While it is fun it is also a little bit out of control! I strongly suggest not to send littler kids because the kids become very rough. And they will probably get pushed around a lot. And this is speaking from a girl who once left there bawling when I was 7 because an 8th grader had threw a ball at my face!"
"The location was nice. The customer service was friendly. The lines were long as the evening went along and a few of the kids were not supervised by their parents. A couple of times kids came to our table and tried to take drinks...one took balloons from one table and brought it to our table. Another kid actually took a drink of the juice that we had to discard. It's fun for the kids, but parents, pack your patience when you go."
"Gabi and team are professional and super nice. My kid always has fun & it's been a great experience for our family!"
"What a cute spot for a birthday party! We attended for a friend's birthday party and the girls really loved being able to run wild. The couple did a lovely job setting up for the kids and it was very sweet to see all the kids so happy."
"Our son loves coming! The instructors are incredible with kids and are able to work with people of all ages and abilities. Can't recommend them enough!!!"
"Wow what a great Community treasure!We attended the fundraising dinner event, which was a tremendous success. I enjoyed walking around checking out the various farm animals and historic buildings.Our servers this evening were high school students from Plano HS.Thank you for such a fun evening!"
"We had my son's first birthday at WRS Plano and had an excellent experience. The Plano location is very spacious and great for big parties and for kids of all ages. The attendant was extremely helpful and checked in frequently with us. I love that we can bring our own food/drink and not be forced to buy generic nuggets or pizza to serve to kids only."
"I've been to this location and the Plano one and this is by far the better of the two. It's kept cleaner than the Plano one. Toys aren't scattered all over the place. There's always someone reorganizing. The workers are also a lot nicer here than at the Plano location. The theme here is country/farm. Each location seems to have a different theme. There is a cow you can milk, animals you can treat in a medical area, an ice cream/sandwich shop and more! The price is $12 to get in plus you get a token for a snack or drink. My son stayed two hours this last time but he would have stayed to play longer if I hadn't been so tired. The age range seemed to be 1-4. My son is 15 months and there were about two children his age to play with.Overall a really great place to bring your child to play. We will definitely be back!"
"Great spot to let your kiddos burn some energy in a safe and friendly environment. The owners are incredible and do a lot to support the city. They also employ local high schoolers and do a great job at training their staff to work with the kids. We did the gymnastics/dance, karate, and summer camps for our kids and loved them all!"
"What a fun place that encourages active play! And its a great place for moms to bring their kiddos for playdates because there are plenty of places for parents to hang together while the kids play. Staff are super friendly and engaging. While we were there, they were playing games with the kids. The place was clean and there was plenty of parking! Great value for your dollar."
"This place is better than Disney land. Avoid the far trip and enjoy this wonderful attraction. They've got animals, great workers, and it's a wonderful experience."
"I took teenagers here and by all means they loved it. So basically it's a converted warehouse where folks of all ages get to come out and shoot each other with nerf guns. Basic nerf guns, ammunition and goggles are provided with the cost of entrance. However for a small fee ($10) you can upgrade your gun to the master blasters! My kids were out on teams and played in various rounds and they even had a kids versus parents. This was a great place to burn some energy and not have a heat stroke outside. Will definitely be back!"
"We took our lil' one to Kid's Korner and it was great! There were toys everywhere, friendly staff, lots of safe playroom and they even gave away FREE juice boxes. The Manager, Mr. Jackson also doubles as security and we felt safe and welcomed. We'll definitely be coming back to Kid's Korner, it's the place to be!"
"A nice little princess shop right in the heart of Grapevine Texas. If you are a parent of a little girl this is the place to be!The lady who works here is very nice and accommodating. The concept here is that you can have a fast five minute tea party for $10-$20 depending on the day. This is a mini makeover, includes nails being done up and a lil makeup, that includes a cupcake. Also she received a tiara and a wand. Not really a tea party but my five year old daughter loved the experience.They also have room for bigger tea parties as well and birthday parties where you can schedule and invite guests. 15 guests in total for the larger tea parties. Must wear a mask, and take a temperature check.The store sells tons of bows, dresses, headbands, glitter makeup and princess costumes.If you are visiting from out of town, say the Gaylord, Great Wolf Lodge, or laying over at DFW airport for a few hours, and you have a daughter who is into princess stuff and tea parties, highly recommend if you have a little daughter and you are looking for time to kill that stop by and have a fun experience."
"If you're going to the zoo with little ones, Safari Splash is totally worth the extra $5 with zoo admission. If you're a zoo member, it's $4 (kids 2 and under are always free).This little splash pad is great fun if it's not too crowded and you can get a couple chairs. There's plenty of shade around the chairs and tables, and there's a few rentable cabanas as well -- $40 for 2 hours and $15 for each additional hour. Totally worth it to guarantee a shady spot to rest and eat! They say the cabanas hold 10 people but I think that'd be pretty crowded. They look more suited for 6 guests when you consider most people have bags, towels, strollers, and small ice chests to store as well. The splash pad itself is small, this isn't a huge water park. Seems best for little kids, like 10 and under. Most kids we saw were probably under 7. Lots of little toddlers! The bigger kids spend most of their time up in the main playground and on the bigger slides, leaving the outskirts of the pad to the little ones. There's a few toddler stations and itty bitty slides, perfect for babies with some supervision. Just be on alert, there's always a big kid or 3 that'll come barreling through at any moment. There are no pools here, no lazy river. It's all splash pad! 14,000 square feet; a "water play area equipped with four slides, a water dump tower, a fill wall for your water toys, animal-shaped water cannons, and a designated toddler play area." There's also concessions; sandwiches, chips, drinks. And a little stand that has anything you might have left at home: swimsuits, towels, goggles, sunscreen, swim diapers... We had the best time here. We were lucky enough to visit when it wasn't packed. Even though it's brutally hot out, we stayed cool in the shade after being splashed. We're zoo members so we'll definitely be back."
"We love the LadyBug Express Train! It recently re-located from Willowbend to Stonebriar, which we love. We've never had to wait in a line and the ride is actually pretty long, which is well worth the $3 Don't forget, adults need a ticket too if child is under 3yrs, but babies ride free! Our 9month old loves getting to ride along too. The music played while enjoying the train ride through the mall also includes soul train with Genevieve (Disney channel) which my son loves! The conductor is kind and helpful and if you ask politely, you can ring the bell on the engine!!"
"We've taken several Summer camps here already and decided to have her birthday party here. It was the easiest, stress free party we've ever had! They have many themes to choose from and many food choices for each theme. Everything was prepped, the studio was decorated with a sign out front, balloons, and plenty of cupcakes for all to enjoy (2 dozen!)We partied like rockstars and the kids made Lady Gaga spaghetti and microphone cupcakes. There was even a red carpet!We had a great time and I'd highly recommend leaving any party up to Flour Power! Try a week long camp, a parents night out, and one of the parent-involved classes."
"Great fun! Lots of different climbing walls and obstacle courses. Clean facilities and pleasant staff."
"We had my son's 3rd birthday here - great value! If all the kids are going to eat pizza I recommend adding an extra pizza - we had 7 kids and they ate all but 2 pieces of pizza. Only con about the pizza is it wasn't fully cut, luckily the utensils I brought had knives. The party package gave each kid a water or capri sun. So bring something for the adults if they don't want to buy it there. The kid that helped us set up and clean up was awesome! They have a little baby/toddler area which is new and my 1 year old loved it! The inflatables were great and perfect for 2-3 year olds to run and play independently. We did not participate in the snow room."
"We went here for Circus Metropolis and had a great time. The production is perfect for kids--a variety of acts to keep them interested. We saw juggling, magic, acrobatics, playing with giant soap bubbles, and tap dancing. The whole show lasted just over an hour, which is just right for kids. The "adult stuff" was well-organized: buy tickets online, check in upon entry, seating is general admission. Tons of free parking. Seats were comfortable.It was Covid time so you could not take pictures with the clowns or performers after the show but they said that they would send by email a photo of everyone.Overall, it's a great way to spend part of a weekend afternoon."
"If you are looking for a little Sunday Funday after church service this is place to go. If you love some good ole street racing then grab your cooler and a few snacks and head to this hidden wonder. You will find all sorts of cars, trucks, & even motorcycles for that matter hitting the pavement to show off some muscle. There will be old, middle age, even kids here checking out the some need for speed. This location has been here in Grand Prairie for years and a large crowd comes here weekly to get there rush of fast. cars great fun with friends and family. The hours are from 2pm to around 10 on to 11pm on Sunday. They will allow you to bring in food and even drinks as long as there no beer bottles.... (No Glass) But you are able to bring in your favorite alcohol beverage or just some good old cold drinks. They even sell some snacks here also and have a food truck here if you forget to bring anything. Now this is one to put on your Sunday Funday list and pack up the family and friends to enjoy a great evening of rubber burning, wheel spinning, speed rushing at Yelo Belly Drag Strip!,"
"I decided to give this place another try. I'm really glad I did. The woman who greeted me when I walked in (the owner?) was so kind. There were kids everywhere running around and having a blast. My son joined in on all the fun. He loves places like this. He likes to run in and out of each playhouse They did a way better job this time with toy organization! I noticed a girl walking around sorting toys and attempting to put things back where they belong. She was really sweet and didn't mind my son getting in her way as she cleaned. The place looked way more put together than the last time we went! I really hope the two women that were working are regulars because I will definitely bring my son back if they are there!"
"Such a cute great venue! Went for a birthday party yesterday the owner was so helpful with the party and even interacting with the kids. So many great options for big and little kids to play and have a great time. Will definitely be going back!"
