We hosted our daughter’s 4th birthday party at the WonderLab and we’ve attended many classes and open play! We love how helpful the staff are and all of the fun activities for our kids. Hosting our party here was so easy and well organized! All of the kids had a lot of fun.

We took our 13 month old here today for open play and she had a blast! Was a nice clean environment and I felt comfortable having her there as there was not too many other children. We will be back for sure

Great space for kids! Rotating series of toys with a STEM focus. Activities for kids 2-6. Excellent weekly program that introduces a new concept where kids can interact hands on, and then take home a creation of their own! Very friendly and helpful staff.

Took my toddler to wonder lab on a rainy day of course, was probably the best decision I made. Place is clean, toddler friendly and very different activities they can do. Highly recommend!

I had my daughter’s 2nd birthday here after having a wonderful experience at one of her friend’s birthdays. It was phenomenal! The place is kid friendly, with STEM oriented tasks, and entertained kids from 10 months to 6 years. The staff were incredible and all the activities were great! Recommend for parties and for general play!

The play space was really nice and the staff was helpful. I did feel a little “hurried” at times and the pizza arrived later than expected, but other than those things, the experience was positive.

They make birthday parties a breeze. Lots of options for booking, everything set up and ready for fun, and attentive staff making sure it all goes smoothly. We had my daughter’s 4th birthday here. Lots of compliments from fellow parents!

We had our son’s birthday party at Wonder Lab. They did such a wonderful job. It was easy in/out, the kids loved it, and Brittany made the whole experience great.

Wonder Lab is great! My kids love it and it is a safe, contained space to take little ones without having to worry. Owners are clearly dedicated and have thought of everything, including a bathroom that has a step stool and toilet seat insert (this is important for parents of toddlers!)

We 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!

Our 4 year old tried one week of Wonder Lab and loved it so much that we up for a second week! It was well organized and run. Our kiddo loved the teachers - it was clear they were all kind and passionate educators! The days seemed to have a nice balance of free choice time and more structured STEM activities. We’re hoping to sign up for camp again next year!

We had our daughter’s birthday here and it was fantastic! They have everything you need to have a wonderful time. We had about 10 children attend between ages 8 months-5 years old and all of them had a wonderful time. The staff were friendly and very helpful and they have lots of decorations already set up.

This place is an amazing space for little ones to play, learn, and interact! I took my 14 mo old grandson and he was mesmerized! Children get a chance to explore many different play areas with so many fun experiences! The owner was friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend The Wonder Lab!

This is the best place ever we have been going since my child was an infant and enjoy every time. It’s amazing how relaxing the experience is for the adults as well as the children. We love the tots class too. Can’t say enough good things about it - it’s saved our sanity on multiple occasions!
