Powered by GoogleThe building was very clean. Volunteers were orderly. I was surprised that there was not more people. I thank YCCO for giving me the info. I will help spread the word of this anytime.
The gymnastics classes were okay when my child was a beginner. She has a fun time and is tired when she is done, but now that she is working on higher level skills I’m constantly disappointed in the instruction, or lack of instruction I should say. It’s not that the instructors are poor, they just choose who to focus on, and my daughter is not one of them. She has been working on a specific skill for 9 months now and is still not proficient. She’s actually given up trying, which is my sign to find another gym. She was told to stop practicing on her own, and then spends less than 10 minutes at that skill in class, once per week. I just don’t see how she will progress any further here. I fully expect, as should every parent paying each month, that my child will walk away with new skills every year.
Worked great for a kids bday event. Had all kinds of gymnastics and tumble mats for all kinds of fun. Not to loud, plenty of seating, and an overall great experience.
Attended a nerf gun bday party. All in all it was good, the staff member was very nice and helpful that ran the nerf battles. The darts didnt work well so the kids had trouble shooting them 50% of the time as they were duds. Restroom paper towel dispensers were broken and I informed staff and they said, "yeah they never work", just like it no big deal. If they invested in newer darts it would be 5 stars as the kids had fun.
Very small footprint, just a little patch of grass with a play structure. That being said there was plenty of parking and it was very well kept. It ended up being the perfect place to let my kids get out and stretch their legs before getting back on the road.
