The volunteers that helped me set up our party room were really good sports. They were willing to help me blow up a gazillion balloons for these balloon arches that I purchased, not realizing how complicated they were to set up. The space wasn't entirely clean. There was some leftover bits of food on some of the table covers. Also it just would have been nice for the money paid for the party package to include bottled water or something. Couple of two litter bottles or something. 15 minutes it's not a lot of time to set up if you have a lot of decorations. So you're going to want to make sure you're on time, and that you don't have a lot of balloons to blow up or something. We chose the rocket activity.

Our grandchildren were full of questions about what was being shown throughout the layout. The kids also liked the little touches like Munsters car and the dinosaur. There is also a scavenger hunt of the layout that can be done of items...
Read moreThis place is great. We spend all day here today! Mr. Zach was amazing with a room full of 7 years olds. 1st grade trip with around 50 kids. Handled all of them with ease. This man has a knack with kids. Definitely made Education fun. Nothing is hands off. Completely hands on everything is encouraged. Fun for adults too. Souvenir Shop was VERY affordable.
