Nicole Sherman
a year agoWe love G3 Pacific Beach. We’ve been going there for open gym forever and my kids just started gymnastics classes there. Their staff is friendly and responsible and they have excellent teachers. We are very happy with our experience, and we intend to keep on going until the kids grow out of it, which will be a very long time from now.

a year agoI LOVE G3 Kids in Pacific Beach! It is a great place for Kids to Burn off energy, met other kids and have a blast. It is also so clean and the manager Deanna is amazing with keeping up with the children, connecting with the parents and making the place interactive, imaginative and fun! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great spot to bring their kids in the San Diego Area!

a year agoG3 is a great place to bring your littles! From any age! I started bring my daughter when she was 1 and when we first came she was super reserved & shy, she has become so social, so independent & so playful. She’s going on 3 now, it’s really a good place to get their energy out. There is so many different options for them to play & use their imagination! Especially when we have our rainy/cold weather! Definitely a place you want to bring your kids!!
Scott Stambach
a year agoThe whole staff at PB G3 Kids is absolutely fantastic, caring, and flexible. Especially, Davina! Not sure how she can successfully mother 20 rambunctious kids at a time, but she does it. Also, it's fun to get to relive my youth on their trampolines via my toddler.

a year agoG3 kids in Pacific Beach is fantastic. We have our daughter in the after school program and she loves it. We tried after school care through the school, but there is something to be said for exercise. We have a great relationship with the coaches who are wonderful.
