UPDATE after 12 months: what is the point of charging adults for an entry fee for kids above 4? Do you have any adult entertainment to justify the price? I was only looking to accompany my 4 year old and WATCH what he was doing, but to watch him I should pay extra? Do you know that when kids do things they enjoy it more when their parents can observe them. My child went in alone, hit his head against the tube by the entrance and screamed hysterically and NOT ONE of the staff came to him, I ran straight away to him and not one staff member came to see with me if all is okay. So in fact I should get a discount to enter in as I am the one taking care of my own child, not the other way around. I think this is it for me...I won't return!
UPDATE after 7 months: Thank you for the discounted rates during the week, makes 100% sense and today I also noted more people in the play park. Next step, open the restaurant/coffee shop!!! ;)))))
An absolute amazing place! I do see plenty of opportunity in such a place. Here in portugal places like these are hard to find, those that know about them don’t want to encourage or tell others about it because they are scared the place gets completely jam packed!
Now if a place on a Wednesday afternoon, which I assume is the busiest (weekday period) as it will be after the kids napped I only saw 3 other kids. Now for this to happen in my opinion either the price is too high (14€ per hour) or there are issues with marketing because this place is truly a gem and I can’t see why anyone would not enjoy this. How about discounted prices for regulars or how about special prices during the week (low peak)?
Or how about being one of the first in portugal by including a restaurant or coffee shop? Parents are all the time looking for a place to relax (work gets tiring and yes playing with kids is also a job!) where they can sit down and finish a warm cup of coffee while catching up with a friend on life, but these concepts don’t exist yet in Portugal. You see these type of places in the USA, South Africa and Prague, they excel and the concept is wonderful!
Will I return? YES FOR SURE! Would I recommend it? YES FOR SURE! Could I see potential with it having a coffeeshop or restaurant OH...
Read moreLoved the concept, loved the experience, and loved that my daughter enjoyed her time there. However, I would like to suggest a few things that could possibly make it superb. Having visited plenty of similar playgrounds, here are "my two cents."
Good Coffee - The upstairs area where the coffee machine is... would be wonderful to have an actual coffee shop to have a little something while waiting for the little ones.
Wifi - Some parents like me are always working. Even on our phones. While the kids play, parents could have complimentary Internet access, let's say, when one purchases 2-hour play. (I needed to send a large file from my laptop and had to leave because of the lack of Wi-Fi).
Live Feed Screens - Safety is beyond important, especially when dealing with children. In the upstairs waiting area, you could have screens showing live recordings of the kids in the areas that are hidden from the parent's supervision.
Even during birthday parties, parents could have a good cup of coffee, work if they have to, and still keep an eye on their...
Read moreA great spot to take the kids out and tire them. Loads of different activities and play equipment and a very numerous and attentive staff keeping everything running smoothly.
Unless your brain is rotted by paternity/maternity, it is possible that upon entering you can feel like arriving at the 7th circle of hell from the noise that the little ones produce.
But after some time, you get used to it, and the vision of your young ones running around and screaming in cheer happiness overcomes the...
