Hear From Our Participants & Visitors
There was a miscommunication and my daughter was signed up for wrong class and they made it work so she could still go to swimming!! Very kind of them and so grateful! Thank you all very much!
Cherish K
I can’t express enough how wonderful this place is and their staff! We were looking for somewhere that focused on the basics and especially safety when doing gymnastics for our 4 and 2 year old. We got so much more out of our gymnastics class than we ever expected! The gymnastic classes are well run, the staff is incredible!

Great cheap place for a birthday party or burn off some energy!
Gabrianne R.
The staff was very welcoming and kind. The facility was very clean and organized. My son loves going to the open gym and playing with all the foam equipment!
Kyle R.
Incredible staff. We had a “Mad Scientist” birthday party for our kindergartner and the kids loved it. The space was clean, easy to set up the decorations in, easy to tear down afterwards. The kids LOVED the magic and science that “Hyperspace Hannah” showed them. Definitely a great place to host a birthday party. The price for having a birthday party here was also incredible compared to other venues. The staff is helpful if you need them, but don’t linger. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Our toddler enjoys the gymnastics class. We also like the open swim time. Great resource for the community!
