Kids love this place! My friend's son had a party there recently and all the kids and some adults had a ball playing in the common area and singing along with the staff during the music time. My friend provided the decorations but everything was set up well. The party ran smoothly and the staff were on top of things. No complaints. -
Been here several times and the kid loves it. Apparently there's a lull in kids mid-afternoon so that might be a good time to go if your kid doesn't like large crowds.
I’ve gone to a few birthday parties here and each one has been great. They include play time and an activity. At one we made a home made kazoo which the kids loved. -
I didn’t give 5 stars because they’re closed on Saturdays which is the one day I really want to take my children there. Otherwise it’s a great musically inspired play place. My boys love the slide and karaoke rooms. They also have a bounce house and plenty of other musical toys and instruments. It’s pretty small but everything is geared towards your child unleashing their inner musician. -
Overall, it’s a fun little place, and my child had a great time. It’s compact, which makes it easy to keep an eye on your kids, but it can also get pretty chaotic when it’s busy.
The bounce house was a bit worrisome. The older kids don’t always watch out for the little ones, so parents of toddlers should stay close. There’s also a play room with a door that younger kids can wander into, but they may not know how to get back out on their own - my little one got stuck inside until I went in to get them.
The free-play area is fun and encourages imaginative play, though I wouldn’t really consider it a music development space.
Another concern was the slide. The waiver and signs clearly say one person at a time, but I saw multiple families ignoring that rule. I watched two children slide down together, and even saw a parent go down the slide with two kids. It honestly felt like many people either didn’t read the rules or simply chose not to follow them. I wish the staff enforced the safety rules more consistently, because it only takes one accident for someone to get seriously hurt. -
Took ou kids there for lessons for a long time. There is a terrific lineup of bands they can join as they get more advanced. They play shows throughout the Triangle--one year they got to play the state fair!
