★★★★★Alex DolatMy wife and I planned a wonderful birthday party at the WonderLab for our daughter's second birthday. Saul and Kate were amazing to work with, and Brittany, who also worked the event, was fabulous. We had 45 attendees, including toddlers, and it was a huge hit. Multiple parents told us how much fun they had after the event. Highly recommend.
★★★★★Caroline HarmonVery clean in the play space and eating is done in a separate space, and shoes are off in the play space, socks required for all. Wasn't very crowded during the time slot we went, 1230-2. Free coffee and tea available and snacks available for purchase. There is a "tasted toy" bin you put the toys kids put in their mouths and those will be sanitized by staff. Not very many parking spaces because there are other things around. Worth the price for the cleanliness.
★★★★★Allison MartinWe had the absolute BEST experience having our daughter’s 2nd birthday at The Wonder Lab! The facility is absolutely perfect for a toddler get together. The activities are engaging. The space is spotless. The employees (Brittany!) were so kind, organized and professional. Definitely recommend ordering the party upgrades. The convenience and quality were so so worth it! Thank you again. We’ll be back for more playtime!
★★★★★Justin and Danielle TingleyThis is a perfect place to bring little ones! It’s a safe place to explore and tinker with all types of materials and mechanisms. There’s a calm room with a sound machine and noise cancelling ear muffs for any kids that may feel overstimulated. Free coffee and tea for adults and lots of snacks for purchase. I’ve been hoping a place like this would open in Durham. Definitely will be coming back!
★★★★★Lawruh LindseySo happy this space exists in Durham now! The owners are so thoughtful and have created a space that feels comfortable and fun for kids and adults alike. From baskets to put ‘tasted toys’ in for sanitization. to free coffee and tea for the grownups, they have really thought of everything. There were many wonderfully engaging play stations that our 1yr old and 3.5yr old both absolutely adored (the wind tunnel, climbing structures, cozy play nook, and the felt wall were a few of the highlights for our littles) and us parents were able to relax and enjoy playing along too. We definitely look forward to going back soon!
