My daughter had her 6th birthday party here and it was so much fun!! Her and her friends thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was very well run. Amy and Alex were amazing with the kids and kept them engaged in lots of fun games and with learning a dance routine. At the end, the kids performed the routine and it was the cutest/best thing! Would definitely recommend to others!.
