YUZU & SPACE — Local services in Spring Valley

Unfortunately we had a really awful experience at Yuzu and Space, and I don't recommend booking a birthday party here. I hosted my daughter's birthday party here after speaking with the owner, Rhuna extensively beforehand she promised activities like painting and making friendship bracelets. Unfortunately, neither of these activities took place. The owner (again Rhuna), who was extemely friendly when we arrived, disappeared into a back office and barely interacted with us.

The party was supposed to last a total of three hours, but I cut it short by over an hour because of the owner's behavior. After two hours or so of hiding in the back, she emerged extremely angry because the kids had made a mess. These were small children 2-4 year olds without any guidance or structured activities, which she had promised to provide. Instead of getting defensive I apologized and I tried to help clean up, but her negative energy made everyone feel unwelcome. She was scowling and giving off a horrible vibe and I became worried she would cause a scene.

I had also purchased a piñata with her approval to schedule that at the end of the party, but we didn't get to use it because we had cut the party short. Rhuna became very aggressive towards my husband, and I was so embarrassed in front of our guests that I left to wait in the car. I didn't want my daughter to know anything was wrong, so I didn't want to complain in front of her or have her realize we were leaving early. My husband paid the full amount and we just asked our guests to leave without much explanation because they all realized she was making a problem.

To make matters worse the owner later posted on social media, complaining about us. She never communicated any expectations of parents or asked us to do something different beforehand. Instead, she hid in her office and suddenly came out without warning, seemingly perturbed.

We were told we would have a fun birthday party with painting and bracelet crafts, and I assumed there would be helpers to set this up and guide the kids. Despite the lack of promised activities, I didn't complain because I just wanted the kids to have fun and they were having a good time. I hope the owner can learn to communicate and plan better, but we certainly won't be back. I have been to many birthday parties for friends kids and planned my kid's at many locations and never once was anyone treated this way. My intention was to support a new local business and try out a new place but it turned into an unfortunate and...

We booked this space for my son’s third birthday and had a wonderful experience. I’m sick of attending birthday parties at play places/trampoline parks that are so overwhelming and overstimulating. This space is set up more like a fun daycare/classroom and was absolutely perfect. It had something for every child.

The kids felt empowered/comfortable enough to explore and find things to play with. Coloring, arts & crafts, play kitchens, cars, dinosaurs, dress up, Duplo Lego, bowling set, a calming/darker corner, and a bounce castle with ball pit. SO MUCH TO DO! But none of it was loud or overwhelming.

There was light music playing and even a gentle water feature with live plants. Seriously so calm and sweet. There were plenty of tables to set up food, refreshments, gifts, etc. - nice blank spaces to decorate and make our own. The restrooms were clean and prepped for kid use with step stools and faucet extenders.

Runa could not have been lovelier. She was so sweet and made booking totally seamless. I would recommend this place to anyone. It was nice to support a local business too! We will be back...

We love this place, we do the monthly membership and end up here at least once a week. Our 5 year old totally loves it there. The owner is the sweetest and loves to play with the kids. It is still your responsibility to watch over and clean up after your child. It’s great place to go if you have little ones that aren’t in school yet but need something fun for them to do while the older ones are in school Or somewhere to escape our weather. The seating and tables, along with the sensory area and crafts are switched up pretty regularly. So it feels new and different every time we visit. It’s a great small business that we love to support. I’m sure any young family would love it as...
