My son had his 4th birthday party at Genius Gems earlier this month. It was a unique experience and he had a great time. Over the hour, the kids did activities related to engineering and robotics all while having fun! The teachers are highly qualified and excellent with children. Given the age group, there were a few challenging moments but thanks to their quick response we had no tears. My son loves blocks ,legos and magnatiles, this was a perfect venue for him. Last but not least the place is filled with sunlight, including the party room!

All the staff members we interacted with leading up to the party were very helpful, taking time to answer every question I had. Special shout out to Justin who gave us the tour and Vanessa who I interacted over the phone.

The only thing I hope they would improve on is the clarity on various packages they offer and what is included etc. We got the Silver and I called ahead to ask if there will be water provided in addition to juice for the kids and guests in general. They said they would but on the day of my sister asked and was told she has to buy it. When I told them about my phone call, they did put out a few bottles but this should not have been in the case. I have no problem bringing my own bottles if they did not provide them but the communication was the issue. This happened again when they were serving cake to the adults. One of the teachers asked me if I had extra plates, we did not use the plates they provided for the kids so I was going to use them for the adults. I said no and said there were some available from earlier (plates they set aside for kids we did not use). And then she asked me if I had forks, again I said no because when I called earlier they said I could use plates and utensils I would have for the kids that I did not use. This is when the teacher said we don't usually provide them but I will get them for you. I did not know what to say except thank you standing next to a guest. I checked their site again, Silver does include utensils. Again, not a big deal if I had to bring them BUT I was told I did not need to. Finally, the email they send you is not tailored so it highlights in bold about Bronze package which confused me so I had to call them to make sure they have me as Silver and there will be pizza, setup help, plates and utensils etc.

All that said, every new business has things to iron out. We will definitely go back, recommend this place to anyone.
