The POP Center: CoWorking Space + Playgroups — Local services in Newton

We recently celebrated our son's 2nd birthday at POP Center, and I can't rave enough about the amazing experience we had! From the moment we walked in, the friendly and accommodating staff went above and beyond to ensure our celebration was seamless and unforgettable.

The indoor playground itself is truly impressive! It's clean, safe, and packed with a variety of fun and engaging activities for children of all ages. Our little one and his friends couldn't get enough of the slides, swing, SO MANY trucks, and the mini grocery store. The spacious layout allowed everyone to move around comfortably and explore the vibrant and delightful space.

Though POP center did not provide food for the party, they more than made up for it with their exceptional help in designing the party theme, including custom invitations that made our event feel truly unique. Their assistance allowed us to focus on creating special memories with our son and our guests.

The party room was spacious, well-decorated, and perfect for our group. The staff took care of all the setup and cleanup, giving us the freedom to enjoy the celebration without any stress. We also loved the fact that they offers a separate play area for younger and older kids, so everybody can have fun.

There was a small mishap with our balloons not arriving on time, but the staff quickly addressed the issue and provided us with a refund. Their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction only added to our positive experience.

Overall, I would highly recommend POP Center for anyone looking to host a stress-free and memorable birthday party for their child.

PS. Don't miss the open play on Saturdays!...

Great so far- glad they opened up “open play” for kids on weekdays (a much needed commodity in area)! We haven’t gotten to use much yet (a 5:30 closing would be huge for us, along with Saturday 4-5), but in general it’s amazing spot that will be huge “go-to” once other parents catch on (and perhaps different price-point packages). On our end, we don’t use the amenities, just occasional hour for babysitter and daughter, and it’s worth it since LOVED on both ends. I think many caregivers find werock and jamtime, along with libraries at peak 3-5:30 period to be stressful and over crowded… POP is the opposite. So clean, well thought out, Montessori type set up (accessible to kids, separate play spaces, and endless options for all ages). The kitchen has low chairs for kids to sit and have their snack, and apparently my daughter cried last time she had to leave there since she enjoyed so much (she normally the opposite and asks to go home). All around this is hidden new gem that I highly recommend checking out asap/supporting- so we can keep them up and running and help them expand the vision. Also I work in office but after seeing it in person, would 100% use their space if was new...

We had our son's second birthday party here this past Saturday. Wow! We were so impressed with the space, the options that were offered for the party, the cleanliness, and the kindness of the staff. We would surely consider doing another birthday party here again! Our guests enjoyed SO MANY things about the space including the different seating options throughout include high chairs, couches, mini chairs for toddlers, etc, the different themed rooms for the kids to play in, and the special spaces to leave shoes/backpacks. It was SO NICE to have access to have a family restroom for families that babies to change and take care of. Evan from Music at the Blissful came to play and interact with the children and families. He was able to set up in one of the bigger spaces during the party. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about our experience here on this day. THANK YOU from the bottom...
