If your child loves legos this is truly a unique experience. They handle everything for the building and have something for all age groups. I expressed that these were 6 yr olds and was concerned the build might be too advanced for them but was assured they would be fine and they were more than fine!!! All the kids had a blast and even did a little race with the cars at the end. Thank you again Paras and team!

NextGen SmartPants is the BEST venue for a birthday party! Customer Service has always been AMAZING, and the kids have such a fun time. The teachers are amazing, and so patient with the kids. This is our second year having a party here for our now 6 year old, and both have been amazing. The owner, Paras, is so flexible and really helps plan and facilitate, plus all of the cool lego builds mean you don't have to do much (if any) decorating! We haven't tried a class yet, but have heard they are amazing!

I'm so sorry that some local thugs came into your store and disturbed your peace yesterday. I hope this never happens again. The people who hang out around there are getting scarier each year. Cars racing around the parking lot at night. Kids blocking people in the parking lot with their cars and hurling obscenities. I won't even go there after dark anymore.

Incredible shop and kids programming for all ages! Took our little man's love of Legos and his ability to build and engineer to new heights. He is obsessed!

Personally, I love using Legos. In fact, I recently took Next-Gen-Smartypants’ Lego CAD class. In this class, I learned how to use Studio 2.0 (an application that allows you to use any Lego piece for free) effectively. The teacher I had was very good at explaining the different mechanics of Lego and even techniques I never would have thought of on my own! I really enjoyed my time taking the class, and walked away with many new skills to use in Lego design. As a matter of fact, I now use Studio 2.0 for a hobby. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is really into building Legos, but don’t have enough pieces (or only own unorganized pieces).

The kids had a blast at our 7 year old's birthday party! They all stayed engaged and had so much fun with the project. The owner Paras was great to work with, and kept great communication along the way. He is great with the kids and it was a great day. The new space is very nice!

We recently had my son’s birthday party at NextGen and couldn’t have been happier with how it went! I was worried that the kids would lose interest as the party went on, but our hosts, Ashley and Briana, did a great job engaging the kids from beginning to end! They were flexible and responsive to the needs of the kids during the build time and helpful during pizza and cupcake time. The theme of our party was “Lego City” and the kids were asked to create/build different parts of a city. When building time was done, the kids put all of their pieces together on the floor and it was amazing to see what they created - a beautiful Lego City! In a two hour party there was plenty of time for pizza, building, cleanup, and cupcakes! I would highly recommend having a child’s birthday party at NextGen SmartyPants!

We had our son's 7th birthday party here and can't say enough about how wonderful it was! Everything from the planning phase to the execution of the party was seamless. Our son chose a Pokémon theme Lego party and the kids were all so engaged for the duration of the activity (even my 4 year old daughter who I thought would only last a few minutes!). It was wonderful to see how creative the kids were with the activity, and how they interpreted and built their designs in their own unique way.One parent commented saying that this was one of the best parties she had attended with her child and that it was nice to see the kids so calm and focused on their building. Our son had a blast doing one of his favorite activities with all of his favorite people. He told us "the teacher was so nice!".Everything ran so smoothly and Briana, the instructor, was phenomenal!! Thank you for providing a memorable party experience for our son and his friends!

My 8 year old had a blast building a rescue helicopter with his friends at his birthday party! They loved creating the helicopter and figuring out how to make the engine work in different ways, as well as adding sound effects! They did get a bit confused at times and would have liked a bit more help from the staff at our party, which is why I gave it 4 stars vs 5. We were also able to share cupcakes, have present time and look around at all the wonderful lego creations in the store - all within the two hours of party time.

We had a great experience here for a birthday party. Children had a blast building a LEGO City together. Miss Bri was amazing with the kids, too. Thank you for a great day!

We held a party for 18 kids, aged between 4 and 10. They all had a great time and were entertained and hands on for the whole party. Ashley (our host) did a great job of keeping the kids engaged and focused.

Personally I really enjoyed the class and how it felt. It was slow at the start but I loved to build my own set at the end which involves all I learned, I loved making spaceships because it was a good start into our total creativity. I really enjoyed the class and I will most likely be doing it again.-Camden Fontaine

We love NextGen SmartyPants! It is educational and fun; kids absolutely adore the experience, learn a lot, and all the Legos in the store are pretty cool too. :)
