Really excited to take my son here since we live fairly close, but man were we disappointed!
Food: Ordered a grill cheese, bread was still white and cheese was not completely melted. Hot dog, mustard packets were all dried up on the inside, chips were very stale.
Atmosphere: our son is 19 months old, probably would have been better if he was a year or two older. We were afraid of him hitting his head on the end of the slide since there is a gap. I would suggest they get more of the same type of push toy, lawnmower for example. Everything we used there we could do at a park pretty much. Admission

My husband took our daughter here on a rainy Sunday. He really enjoyed the experience. Said it was clean and spacious. My daughter played for 2 hours and loved it. My only complaint is that the jumping pad isn't for children younger than 5.. my daughter LOVES to jump on trampolines and this was a blast for her when no other kids were on it. Overall we will go back!

I really like taking my kids here to play on a rainy day buuuuut everyone likes to take their kids here too and it can become crowded. The facility has play areas for little and big kids. It is very clean and organized. My only complaint is 2 times now I have witnessed parents in the restaurant portion of the building letting their kids run around without watching them. One incidence I had to help a friend track down a parent (who was sitting at a table on her cell phone) after her unattended 4yo hit my friend's son in the head because he was in line for a slide.

So much fun! We've been in the area for about a week and I was looking for some things my 4 year old could do . We came on a Saturday ,13$ all day play with in and out privileges . There was so much for him to do and plenty of places for adults to sit . Very clean , very well kept and super friendly staff ! Wish they were open later on more week days and I would've brought my son more !

I brought my children out here on 12/28 and we had a great time. We were meeting up with my sister later in the day and came here to blow off some steam/ run around. We got here right when they opened (9) and away we went. This is located on Randall Road like 2 minutes off of The 90. It's got a big parking lot so you won't have an issue finding a spot.
On weekends it is $12 for one child and $10 for a second kid. Not the cheapest but it's within reason. What I liked about this place was it was good size, clean and there is enough stuff for kids of all ages. My 8 year old had fun

I've been here several times and even hosted my daughter's 3rd birthday party here. It's a great place. My only only complaint is the lack of things to do in the toddler room. There's lots of open space to run, which is great, but maybe a ball pit, more cars and more things to climb on would be great. The older room looks more fun, but she won't be going in there for another 2 years...
Overall, I love the relaxed atmosphere and that I can see my kid wherever she is in the room. Nice comfy seating too.

We met our cousins here and it was great! They played for hours together and with the other kids going between the under 5 and over 5 rooms. They're just on the cusp of 5, so they loved things at both areas. I was pleased to see the staff spot cleaning, and that the place was not a complete zoo. I wish parents were better at telling their children to not bring the little toys into the bigger kids room, but that's a whole other story. Overall, it was a great afternoon.

I had asked if I could bring treats for a dessert table for my daughters party that I booked, not to eat just so kids can pack as a treat bag at the end of the party - what party these days doesn't have a desert table? The lady at the front was very rude when I asked her. She said my guests can order from the cafe. That's my first complaint. Second, the website says reentry same day with wristbands but the elderly lady at the front desk asked for my baby's wristband and cut my daughter's off of her wrist when we were walking out... we were just going do grab a bite to eat and

The lady in the picture who I believe is the manager has no manners! She kicked my 75 year old grandma who had no shoes but wasn't in the play area. She was sitting on the side and wasn't walking around. She waited 1.5 hours to approach us with a nasty loud attitude in front of my kids and family and everyone around. She is the worst manager and if she's the owner good luck! I will make sure friends and family are aware of your horrible treatment. Elderly and everyone deserve to be talked with respect and your lack of respect is disgusting. If you wanna me treated badly by this lady

I've notified the workers (2), their response, "Well, they're not suppose to wear shoes." And continued with their chit chats. So as an employee, you don't kindly walk up to these parents and nicely reminded them they need to take their shoes off and put some socks on? I question how these employees are trained when they took the position for this job. It's not about

I love taking my daughter to new indoor play areas because of the enclosed space and plenty of toys or activities to roam and play!
This place isn't so bad, only when you are near or in the neighborhood: 1.) not busy on a Sunday, about 10 kids for our duration. 2.) Wristbands with similar numbers unique for identification upon entry and wristbands were checked before exiting the gated area. 3.) Family cafe has espresso drinks and nonalcholic drinks. Their signature drinks are the bumblechinos; I wouldn't know because we didn't order any drink nor food items there. 4.) 2 play areas

2.5 stars really.
BPC has a lot of things going for it.
Huge parking lot.
Spacious play areas--one for toddlers, one for bigger kids.
Nice cafe with snacks and drinks for sale.
We went for a birthday party and my son had a blast. He loved the climbing structure and slides and considering it was a Saturday, the place didn't seem crowded at all. We didn't venture into the toddler area--but peeking in, it looked pretty spacious as well.
The food they served from in house was pretty good too--pizza, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders. And the gal assigned to the party seemed pretty

Here's what you need to know, the owners here have differentiated themselves in several key ways:
* Use of open space - there is a lot of empty floor space for the kids to run around, which is unique in that other warehouse playgrounds attempt to utilize every square inch and cram the space with junk
* Lots of seating - every room has comfortable leather (or faux leather) seating, great to sit and access the free WiFi
* Healthy food - fresh fruit, milk, and other healthy snacks versus the soda and candy dominated competitors
Other features worth considering...
* Party packages starting at

Love that this place opened up close by! There's two different rooms, one for kids probably 4-5 and under and one for older kids. Our son went to both rooms and loved the whole place. It's very clean and with all the nasty things that kids transmit these days, it gives you peace of mind when you feel like the place is well maintained. They have a little cafe area, the prices seem a little high though. They have party rooms which seem like a cute idea for birthday parties. It's 8$ for one kid above 1 year in age. Overall, a great place to let kids run around and burn off some extra

We have frequented pretty much every indoor play park in the area. We went to Bumblebee on a rainy holiday, so we knew it was going to be crowded. This was our first time here and it definitely has its positives- the space itself is large, the two separate rooms each have a lot of space, the actual play towers are pretty great.
With that being said, there are definitely areas for improvement. There is only one IPad being used for people to sign a waver. The lady in front of us forgot her glasses so we had to wait about 5 minutes for a worker to read everything to her and help her. By the time

This place is great for kids. They also take a lot of precautions when it comes to the safety of kids. Great food, great options for drinks and snacks. The play areas are excellent. They have a toddler area and big kid area. We stuck to the tot area. But the equipment I saw in the big kid room looked excellent. If seating in places like this is not big deal to you its wonderful. For myself I need comfortable seating. I have to have it. I have bad hips and back. Places like this. Is where I go to get a break and sit. While watching my child play.
I know they just recently opened so they are still

We brought our 2 year old triplets here last weekend and they had a blast! We love that there is such a big area for them to play in and such a variety of things for them to do! We also love that it's so close to home!
Our biggest thing is the cost. Bringing 3 kids in each time will cost up to $30! The punch pass is not convenient if we have to decide if we're just coming on weekends or weekdays. We'd love to see (and would definitely buy) a family unlimited pass of some sort. We've been to a similar place up in Rockford almost monthly because of their pass. I bet you&apos
