I encountered a place like this out in the Midwest where went with my GF's 4 yo daughter. When they moved here I always wanted to find an indoor activity area where the little one could run around and burn some energy and make some quick friends. Tried PnJ for the first time last week. It was a lot larger than I expected. The daughter, now nearing 6, had a blast. We went on a weeknight so it was quite dead so there were not many other kids to befriend but she still had loads of fun. I like the area off to the side that is for kids 6 and under. Nice to know she has a place to go without being trampled by rowdier kids. I will say that even being fairly empty, the one male staff member made sure that the couple 10-11 yo boys were not doing things they weren't supposed to (aka jumping over exterior inflatable walls and standing on top of attractions they weren't supposed to). My GF and I spoke in length with some other staff about a birthday there, they were very informative. The b-day areas are nice, fairly large and off to the side and surrounded on three sides by full walls.
The one complaint I do have is I found a good amount of their video games were out of order. Many were shooting games and since the 5 yo would not be playing those, I did not concern myself too much. But out of the 30-40 games there, I would say 6-10 were out of order. Not a good ratio in my opinion.
I cannot give any info in how crazy this place could get on the weekend yet, but I shall update the review after I go again.
