We celebrated our 6 years old birthday party at the Zoo Playland. We were really impressed with the staff. They were really kind and helpful even if it was a really busy afternoon. The play area is great and has a few different sections so although it was busy, there was plenty of space for all the kids, and even the younger 3 year olds had a great time!

The sitting area for parents was quite busy and they couldn't sit until much later but nobody really minded as we were all watching our kids. I would encourage parents that organise a party to really insist that all kids come on time (or even give an earlier time) as you have to pay for all the kids before they come in, so that was a little difficult, but we know now for next time and I understand the reasons! We had organised pizza from Apache pizza in Clare hall and they were even earlier than expected which was great so we had time to serve the pizzas before all the kids came to the table. Overall, everything went really well and my son loved his party! ...

Organised my sons third Birthday Party here. He bawled crying as soon as we went into the place he was so overwhelmed with how packed it was. Had to spend 40 minutes outside calming him down. They didn’t empty people out who were over their time and had 3 birthday parties on at the same time. The place was overcrowded with no where for adults to sit. My 1 year old didn’t get to play either as it was too full and dangerous for him. Trying to organise cordial for the party took about a half an hour. The only thing that went smoothly was the food from Apachie strong on time and was decent. Such a pity. Too many kids allowed in & too many parties at the same time made for a crap experience. We would’ve picked a different time to stagger the parties had we known. Finally get to the coffee shop at 17.50 to grab a coffee to be told we’ve just closed. So after dropping a fortune in the place couldn’t as much as...

Went to celebrate a birthday as a family with a couple rounds of bowling, but faced a lot of unexpected issues. The points were very clearly miscalculated, the machine knocked down some pins on its own, which would be left out entirely of the score, not being able to get points on those. The machine clearing the pins was very frequently stuck (like 10-15 times), and each time we had to staff to take a look at the machine so that we could continue the game. The bowling balls were very limited in selection and were also very heavy with too small holes for the fingers. We were expecting a different service, given the price of these games isn't exactly cheap. Otherwise, we have gone there before and might do so another time (due to its proximity to our home), but it would have been nice to have everything working properly so that we could have had a fun day out...
