    We just had my son’s birthday party there and were very disappointed. Our party host didn’t seem to know what was going on and couldn’t answer basic questions. The service overall was poor — I ended up serving the kids their food myself because the host was rarely around. The amount of food included in the package was not enough, especially for the price. When we tried to get Icees for the kids, we waited over 20 minutes in a line 12 people deep while one employee tried to handle everything alone. When we asked if anyone else could help, he simply said “No.” Overall, we paid a lot of money for bad service and a party host who didn’t actually host. It made the whole experience stressful. The games were fun and the kids had a great time, but it definitely wasn’t worth the cost. The bathrooms were also a mess.

    Was there yesterday for a Friend's kids birthday and the service was really bad. The irony was it looked like the place was over- staffed but no one was focused on service.
