We Rock the Spectrum The Woodlands — Local services in The Woodlands

I was very excited to try this place with my 2 year old & 1 year old! WRTS does not require socks, due to sensory aversions - I thought that would be a good thing, however the floors are very grungy (stained, dirty appearing). There was a great variety in swings, climbing and jumping things, however they’re all very crammed together. I was constantly worried about swings colliding. The trampoline was nice though! There is also a rule that kids can’t be in the jump pit while the zip line is in use; there is no one there to monitor the zip line so we would be playing and suddenly a child would swing right in. The kitchen and art area is SUPER cramped and overstuffed with toys. I liked the variety there but, it’s overwhelming and messy. They need someone on the floor to monitor and clean, while the receptionist sits on her phone texting.

To add to my concerns of cleanliness here…. I went to use the hand sanitizer and it’s “cute” because there’s legos stuffed into the bottle. I’m not sure if it’s from the legos or if our hands were just very dirty from the facility - but we had bits of plastic and dirt all over our hands after using hand sanitizer upon...

Today my friend and I took our toddlers to We Rock the Spectrum Gym off FM 1488. We absolutely LOVED it!! Neither of our kids are on the spectrum. It is an indoor gym open to kids of all abilities. The girls had a blast. There are various gym equipment like swings, a rock wall, enclosed trampoline, monkey bars, slide, and a zip line that drops off in a "crash pit". They also have arts and crafts, chalk, imaginary play (dress up costumes, play grocery store and kitchen, etc), and a calming room. The calming room was a nice space where our kids could wind down after all the play. The zip line was a big hit. Our kids were too little for the zip line how it was so one of friendly staff hooked up a baby swing to it. So much fun. Before we left, we bought a multi visit package. We will definitely be back.

Things we loved: it's indoors so we could leave the house but beat the heat, toddler was engaged the whole time, friendly and welcoming owner and staff (locally owned), not just an open gym but other things like arts and crafts and imaginary play, discounted ticket price...

I used to absolutely love bringing my daughter here, it had become an oasis for us. It was clean, quite, peaceful & advertised as a safe place for my Autistic daughter to be herself.

Unfortunately that is no longer the case as it is crowded, noisy, messy and no longer a safe place for my daughter.

"Finally a place where you never have to say I'm sorry" is no longer a promise this place lives up to. Our last trip here I had to repeatedly apologize to one aggravated dad because he didn't approve of the way my Autistic daughter was playing. He gave us dirty looks & mumbled horrible comments "under his breath" the entire time we were there.

I understand special needs kids have neurotypical siblings, so they will be there but this place is just overrun with them now. And while this is a place for all kids, let's be honest, they can play anywhere else. Literally anywhere else.

My daughter can not & now she can't play safely here either. I've been bringing her here for 3 years but now it looks like we won't be back

Heartbreaking &...
