Kids' Town — Local services in Ammon

I appreciate that there have been updates since we last went. My kids love it but I rarely bring them. I know the needing to pay as an adult has been acknowledged before but I truly hope my comment will be listened to, as I’d love to bring my kids more and see a local business thrive.

I see no reason with the current setup why I should have to pay for myself. I am asked to follow my kids around and clean up after them/teach them to clean up. I already do that at home. I don’t want to pay to do that. If I’m going to pay, I want to have a comfy couch to sit on and be able to let my kids play freely without being expected to clean up after them. Should I clean up as a good human? Yes. But I’m giving money to a place of business-I should get some value out of my money. I would value relaxing while my kids play. On the other hand, if I didn’t have to pay for myself, I would bring my kids WAY more because THEY are the ones getting value for the money. I would gladly follow them and help them clean up at that point. If you go to kids places in Utah, yes all of them have adults pay, but if you go to Boise, many places do NOT have parents pay. I’ve even been to a place where I get a comfy couch and I don’t have to pay for myself.

I understand this review may change nothing, but I imagine I’m not in the minority of parents who would bring their kids way more if they either didn’t have to pay as an adult, or they got a much better experience for the money as the...

I was so excited to have my son enjoy kids town yesterday when i dropped him off, were from blackfoot an there isnt anything hardly descent for toddlers to do around here, an hes the only baby in the family right now,so he dont have friends an he dont really socialize with other kids his age. The staff was sweet tomy little sister an my son , very helpful,so im greatful for that. But i dont understand people around here 8n blackfoot an obviously idaho falls too, why is it that you parents keep your children from even looking at my 2yr old son, let alone talk to him...95% of the adults ive came in contact with at the park,walmart, wherever it may be, make it very clear that you dont want my son around your kids..yesterday at kids town there was an elderly couple who musta had there grandkids that were the worst ive seen an it hurts my feelings to see my son only be able to look from afar an never get that chance to know what its like to have a buddy of his own..I just want every one of u too know that , that kind of attitude an behavior is exactly what i will not raise my son to be like,u guys inspire me to raise a human with a heart for others..it gets so old to watch my son get denied an im so hurt im angry ..To those handful that have taken the time to let my son know he matters,,thank u so very...

Seems there's not many indoor activity centers for younger kids in the area, so this place likely fills a niche in that respect. We live out in the sticks of Idaho and its several hours to come into Idaho Falls for shopping and doctor's appts, so I thought this might be a place where my kids could get some activity after the long drive. It did fill that need, however, I must say that neither my wife and I were impressed. We'd thought we'd give it a try, being a Monday with the advertised BOGO deal, but they weren't honoring that since apparently it was a no-school day. So $29 for my two young kids along with my wife and I. Most kids' activity centers I've been at in other places allow an adult to accompany a child for free or for only a couple bucks. Given that the parents are there to monitor and direct the child, the price charged for adults seems awfully high. A couple of the toys were broken, or some parts weren't working. There are some cool themed activity stations, but there is no guidance or direction as one would have at a science center or children's museum.

So, in summary, if you are in need of an indoor place for kids to run off some energy and have some fun, this could be a good fit. However, as for my family, it was a disappointment, not worth the cost, and we likely...
