Powered by GoogleOur first experience here was in the store. Paras welcomed us in and got us started with some fun lego builds - a friendly competition while learning the simple science behind it. We had such a fun experience we got him to bring his program to our elementary school to share with our children's peers. Next thing I know I'm working for Paras as a Middle School Lego League coach! What a wonderful opportunity for our family & community to have such a dedicated & positive educator who inspires so many with his love for STEM. Looking forward to future programs
So I was hesitant to post because Paras was super kind and informational and my kids had a great time over all…. But I left 2 stars because I was completely disappointed with the location. I went to the address and I was looking for the place in the pictures and the address is a small space , not many displays , everything is sort of crammed , they have a back room with many legos were the bathroom is but the space isn’t anything like the location in the pictures … alls I kept thinking was I was glad it was just my immediate family if I would have invited more guest I couldn’t have imagined 10 kids and parents and everyone in that crammed area I mean for almost 400$ it would have been cool to see all the legos on display like the pictures showed….
We had NextGen SmartyPants host a Lego party for our son’s 5th birthday. Julia and Jill did a fantastic job hosting. They showed great energy with the kids throughout the party and had a good plan for activities which held their interest. If your child loves legos or building, this is a perfect option!
NextGen SmartPants is the BEST venue for a birthday party! Customer Service has always been AMAZING, and the kids have such a fun time. The teachers are amazing, and so patient with the kids. This is our second year having a party here for our now 6 year old, and both have been amazing. The owner, Paras, is so flexible and really helps plan and facilitate, plus all of the cool lego builds mean you don't have to do much (if any) decorating! We haven't tried a class yet, but have heard they are amazing!
My son begged for robotics classes, some friends suggested NextGen Smartypants. From the very first class, it felt like he'd found his "thing" and most importantly, his people. The classes are flexible and engaging, challenging but manageable. He looks forward all week to what he's going to be able to make next. Next Gen is a special place. I can't recommend it enough.
