Playgarden is a great space for younger kids (up to age 5 or 5-1/2). Its clean, fun and the staff are wonderful with kids. My daughter loved the ballet classes and the ballet recitals are a lot of fun. The playground is filled with interesting and fun equipment, which changes every two or three months. I highly recommend it.

Immaculate. Friendly staff. All equipment in great shape (no broken toys). Took a free trial class and it was VERY fun - my 14 month old LOVED it. We spent a lot of time in the playground and he would have stayed longer (we were there for almost 3 hours) but he was WAY too tired and fell asleep in his stroller 2 blocks away from the place.

A terrific place to have a kids birthday party! the staff is friendly and great with kids ... and there are plenty of activities to keep busy. the zipline swing looked so fun, i almost wanted to go on it (apparently holds up to 200 lbs ... no problem!)
