After bringing my son to the POP Center a few times for open play, my husband and I decided to host his 2nd birthday party there. The party was FANTASTIC! The POP Center took care of everything - invitations to our theme, decorations, balloons, paper goods, clean-up, etc. All we had to do was bring our guests and a cake! The kids loved having free reign of the entire space and our assigned party assistant was amazing! All of our guests raved at the size of the POP Center and how wonderful it was for our event. 10/10 would host there again, we couldn't recommend it more!

My favorite place to be! Work and Play Membership is an absolute value. I couldn't find daycare when my daughter was born because we could only afford part time care. Not only is it the first place I've put my clingy child *happily* in a new environment, but all the beautiful, thoughtfully planned work/play spaces give me a pleasant space to do my work. My daughter and I both get value from the socialization and being in a community of families with similar goals. It feels as comfortable as being in my home! I was on the verge of giving up on my (almost completed) Ph.D. when I found the POP Center. Now I think I'm more productive in two afternoons per week (awesomely flexible schedule options that include makeup days) than I was when I had 40 hours and no baby! Haha

WOW! The POP Center hosted my son's fourth birthday and we could not be more thrilled with the experience! From the initial planning through the end of the event, the POP Center team was thoughtful, communicative, and creative. They designed colorful invites, decorations, and activities aligned with the theme. They truly went above and beyond to make sure my son and our guests had a spectacular afternoon.Our guests LOVED the venue: it is large, colorful, and beautifully maintained with areas for different activities like a grocery store and indoor playground. The space is ideal for birthday parties because the kids and adults can spread out, as well as convene in the kitchen for cake and snacks. I can't think of anything comparable in the area.

Great so far- glad they opened up “open play” for kids on weekdays (a much needed commodity in area)! We haven’t gotten to use much yet (a 5:30 closing would be huge for us, along with Saturday 4-5), but in general it’s amazing spot that will be huge “go-to” once other parents catch on (and perhaps different price-point packages).On our end, we don’t use the amenities, just occasional hour for babysitter and daughter, and it’s worth it since LOVED on both ends. I think many caregivers find werock and jamtime, along with libraries at peak 3-5:30 period to be stressful and over crowded… POP is the opposite. So clean, well thought out, Montessori type set up (accessible to kids, separate play spaces, and endless options for all ages). The kitchen has low chairs for kids to sit and have their snack, and apparently my daughter cried last time she had to leave there since she enjoyed so much (she normally the opposite and asks to go home). All around this is hidden new gem that I highly recommend checking out asap/supporting- so we can keep them up and running and help them expand the vision. Also I work in office but after seeing it in person, would 100% use their space if was new mom remote!!

We attended the PoP Center Christmas Party and I just wanted to say how impressed I was with how it was put together. We have been here multiple times, including hosting our daughter’s birthday party here, and have always been delighted but this event was truly special. They really went the extra mile to include pictures with Santa, hot chocolate and food, crafts, storytelling, elves on site, gifts bags and even a “snow” dance party. We had so much fun and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Thank you!

We hosted our daughter's fourth birthday party at the Pop Center. It went perfect, thanks to the folks at the Pop Center taking care of several tasks - designing invites (that we were able to send out digitally and get printed), decorations, arranging for plates, silverware, cups, etc. We arrived 15 mins in advance and just had to bring the cake, food and drinks. All the kids really enjoyed the different play spaces. It was really nice to have the whole space for our party, which is not always the case at some venues. Our party had kids of different ages and the play areas kept every single one entertained. They also arranged for the party favors and best of all, they take care of all the clean up. Two thumbs up for the Pop Center!!!!

We had our son's second birthday party here this past Saturday. Wow! We were so impressed with the space, the options that were offered for the party, the cleanliness, and the kindness of the staff. We would surely consider doing another birthday party here again! Our guests enjoyed SO MANY things about the space including the different seating options throughout include high chairs, couches, mini chairs for toddlers, etc, the different themed rooms for the kids to play in, and the special spaces to leave shoes/backpacks. It was SO NICE to have access to have a family restroom for families that babies to change and take care of. Evan from Music at the Blissful came to play and interact with the children and families. He was able to set up in one of the bigger spaces during the party. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about our experience here on this day. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

We recently celebrated our son's 2nd birthday at POP Center, and I can't rave enough about the amazing experience we had! From the moment we walked in, the friendly and accommodating staff went above and beyond to ensure our celebration was seamless and unforgettable.The indoor playground itself is truly impressive! It's clean, safe, and packed with a variety of fun and engaging activities for children of all ages. Our little one and his friends couldn't get enough of the slides, swing, SO MANY trucks, and the mini grocery store. The spacious layout allowed everyone to move around comfortably and explore the vibrant and delightful space.Though POP center did not provide food for the party, they more than made up for it with their exceptional help in designing the party theme, including custom invitations that made our event feel truly unique. Their assistance allowed us to focus on creating special memories with our son and our guests.The party room was spacious, well-decorated, and perfect for our group. The staff took care of all the setup and cleanup, giving us the freedom to enjoy the celebration without any stress. We also loved the fact that they offers a separate play area for younger and older kids, so everybody can have fun.There was a small mishap with our balloons not arriving on time, but the staff quickly addressed the issue and provided us with a refund. Their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction only added to our positive experience.Overall, I would highly recommend POP Center for anyone looking to host a stress-free and memorable birthday party for their child.PS. Don't miss the open play on Saturdays! It's the best.

I used the Pop Center when I needed backup care for a few weeks. The facilities were great - both for kids and adults. I felt like I could really have a good block of time to work in peace and quiet while also being present with my son - feeding him snack and lunch. The staff was very friendly and everything felt safe and organized.The only reason I’m rating it 4 stars is because they’re prices recently skyrocketed to $24/hr, which makes it totally unaffordable if you only need part time care like me and don’t have a set schedule. They are not a standard daycare - you still have to change and feed your child. So to charge the rate of an experienced full-time nanny seems excessive. Affordability and flexibility is was what was touted when I first signed up and I’m disappointed I can no longer afford to go there on days I need care for my son.

I had my son’s birthday party here and it exceeded all of my expectations. They went above and beyond to make my baby’s special day magical. All I had to do was tell them the theme I wanted , package I selected and they made the custom birthday decorations. I was blown away from all the cute decorations and attention to detail . We brought in our own food , kept it simple with pizza and cake.. the kids had a blast and the adults actually got to talk to each other because then kids were so busy having an amazing time in their multiple play rooms. This party was epic and everyone left happy and tuckered out. I highly recommend for your indoor birthday parties

We held my son's 3rd birthday party here and it was fantastic! We chose a train theme and invited about 18 adults and 14 kids, and the space was large enough for everyone to feel safe. The kids absolutely loved it, especially the supermarket room! We received many compliments from the parents. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that we would recommend to anyone who is looking to host an easy birthday party.

I love the Saturday play option during the winter! But the downside is that the admission cost can really add up if it's two parents and a toddler ($30-40 for everyone, even if we stay for just an hour.) The cost goes to a really good cause, for what it's worth. I would go WAY more often if there were some more affordable options for short Saturday play, especially when your child's at an age where having two partners present is helpful. We just can't do $40 every weekend. That said, I'm sure they've put a lot of thought into their business model and setting prices that sustain what they do. You can tell their heart has gone into the project.

The POP Center is AMAZING. The owner, Crystal, is warm and engaging, the staff are kind and very helpful, and the space is absolutely beautiful with so many options for indoor play. I held my son's 4th birthday party there, and it was perfect. They made a lovely digital invitation for me to send out, let me pick a theme and decorated accordingly, including balloon towers, dishes, cutlery and even goodies bags. They also offered terrific add-ons such as extra time, arts and crafts, and even coffee and tea for the adults. I couldn't recommend the center more highly!
