My son loved having his own private story time!! Couldn't have asked for a better party--definitely having future parties here!" Mary K. Erica did a phenomenal job with communication and making this party special for all of the children! We had a range of ages from 0-5 and all of the kids were engaged and had a great time! Jessica I. The entertainment of the children was the best part. Erica did an outstanding job keeping their attention and keeping things moving. Karla T. I really enjoyed story time and the song that was sung. The room setup was perfect; it was spacious enough for both parents and kids to move around and have fun. Honestly, the whole experience was wonderful. Claire K.
