Jump Stop Safari

This review is written by someone who almost agrees with that old idea that kids should be seen and not heard– I disagree with the first part of that saying.
I attended a birthday party for my niece– who I adore, but…
Seemed like a cool place for kids under the age of 10– the folks handling the party were nice and attentive. For adults without children it is kind of what I’d imagine purgatory is like– if I believed in that type of thing. I think if you don’t have kids you should be refused admittance.
On the way home I stopped off to get a vasectomy just in case.

I arrived and commented that it was the first time I had been there with the kids. Lady smiled and said welcome. My daughter immediately commented that she had to go the restroom (you know that panic «I shouldn’t wait until the last minute to go» look a kid gets in their eyes and how they clamp their legs together). First, the lady wanted to just take my daughter off to the restroom. I don’t know her, never been to the place, and I’m not about to let my 5 year old wander off with a stranger in a facility I’ve never been to. So I said, I prefer to go with her, she’s only 5 and the male owner had the audacity to say sarcastically «why don’t we get them checked in first, I mean does she have an actual medical emergency?» What an asshole! I told him that I wasn’t going to cheat them out of paying to get in –geez. So the lady at least let us go first. Then, we get in there, the place is not very big at all. Half of the area has token machines which of course aren’t included in the price, while the other half is the gymnasium. If you’ve been to Jump and Jacks, downsize that to a ¹⁄₃. Parents aren’t allowed to climb on the equipment to get their kids, while they had 2 staff on hand at the gym area, neither of them looked happy at all to be there. They had a middle piece inflatable that was down, and the one inflatable they did have opened they only allowed one kid to go at a time. Lines were long and no seating unless you did go to the arcade area, but you don’t leave a 3 yr old unattended. Two single restrooms from what I saw. What finally did it in was I hadn’t had visual contact of my 3 year old and not only could I not get to him, but I wasn’t allowed to try. I had to get my 5 year old to check up on him. Between no seats and just the initial overall impression, I doubt I’ll be returning. I see from the other posts that I’m not saying anything surprising here.
