This venue offers a wide array of indoor activities suitable for various ages, making it a potentially fun destination, especially noted for well-managed birthday parties.

  • Staff is described as kind, helpful, and patient, especially with event setup and decorating (R3).
  • Manager Spencer is specifically mentioned as being very helpful and kind (R5).

  • On-site 'super delicious pizza' and cotton candy available for parties (R4, R5).

Perfect For

Perfect for toddlers, as there is a specific 'toddler area' (R5) and concerns about curious 'little ones' (R1).
Suitable for general 'kids' (R3, R4, R5), implying elementary school age for the main attractions.

Ideal For

Birthday parties for elementary-aged children and younger, especially if requiring dedicated staff support for the event (R3, R4, R5).
Families seeking an indoor venue with a variety of activities, *provided they are willing to actively monitor and overlook potential maintenance and cleanliness issues* during general visits (R2, R5).
Toddlers, due to a specific play area, but *requiring very high parental vigilance due to reported hazards* (R5, R1).

💡Pro Tips from Reviews

  • **For General Visits:** Exercise extreme caution and thoroughly inspect all play areas for potential hazards like deflated equipment, wet floors, debris, and exposed wiring before allowing children to play (R1, R2).
  • **For General Visits:** Be prepared to point out or potentially address safety issues yourself, as staff may be unresponsive (R1).
  • **For Toddlers:** Supervise young children very closely, especially near walls, equipment, and dining areas that may have cleaning supplies or liquids (R1).
  • **For Birthday Parties:** Reviews suggest parties are well-managed; leverage the attentive staff and helpful manager (Spencer) for a smooth event (R3, R4, R5).
  • Manage expectations regarding the general upkeep and cleanliness of the facility for non-party visits (R1, R2).

Things to Consider

  • The park is frequently described as messy and unsafe during general visits (R1, R2).
  • Inflatable floors, particularly in the basketball area, are often deflated, unstable, and deemed unsafe (R1, R2).
  • Exposed air pumping machine and open electrical plugs near walls pose a significant hazard to curious toddlers (R1).
  • Dirty water from floor cleaning was left unattended in dining areas, causing a child to slip and hit their head (R1).
  • Toys are frequently missing, destroyed, or in a worn-down condition (R1, R2).
  • Broken plastic balls and debris, including pieces of plastic bags, are found mixed into play areas and ball pits (R1).
  • Staff responsiveness to safety issues is poor; one staff member was defensive and did not promptly address dirty water causing a fall (R1).
  • Some broken features have remained unfixed for an entire year, indicating a lack of consistent maintenance (R2).
  • Overall cleanliness has plummeted over recent months (R1, R2).

Price & Value

A membership option exists, but at least one long-term member is cancelling due to a significant decline in quality and safety (R1). Birthday party experiences are generally positive and described as 'amazing' and 'fantastic' (R4, R5), suggesting good value for party packages, though no specific pricing for entry or parties is mentioned.

When to Avoid

  • General visits if you have high expectations for consistent cleanliness, pristine safety standards, and fully functional, well-maintained equipment (R1, R2).
  • If your child is highly sensitive to potential hazards like broken items, deflated inflatables, or debris in play areas (R1, R2).
  • If you expect immediate, proactive, and apologetic staff responses to safety concerns during general play times (R1).
  • Using the basketball area's inflatable floor if it's not fully inflated, as it's been reported as unsafe (R1).

What happened with our safe, clean, fun Uptown Jungle???? We’ve been members for about two years, and over the past few times we’ve been there, the establishment is SO MESSY and UNSAFE! A few facts: . The basketball area’s inflatable floor is hardly ever stable full of air, making it not only so uncomfortable to play, but quite unsafe. . On many occasions, I’ve seen the actual air pumping machine been left outside by the wall, and with the big plugs on the same wall open and perfectly ready for our little curious toddlers to potentially hurt themselves with all of that. . Yesterday my friend’s baby (see pictures) slipped and hit her head (thankfully not too hard) in some of the dirty water that was left after the floors were being cleaned. We had been sat down for at least 20 minutes giving our children some snacks and watching the staff do literally NOTHING to clean those traces of dirty (really gross) water all along the back side where the dinning tables are. After the incident, we asked the boy that seemed to be in charge of it to please take care of that, and defensively he replied: “I am working on it”. To what we thought to ourselves, “no you’re not, had you been working on it, you would’ve already grabbed some paper towels to the very least, and forgot nieve your job to ensure this running area is safe”. As pictures show, we ended up doing it ourselves before other kinds hurt themselves. . Toys are missing and/or destroyed. I understand parents should be more aware of what their children are doing and not let them destroy the place, and from a business perspective I also believe that it is Uptown Jungle’s responsibility to keep its place clean, safe, and fun re-stocking the missing or damaged pieces. . Along the dame previous lines, there’s broken plastic balls all over the place (not safe), and on a different day I watched the teenager in charge of cleaning those areas pick up balls and dumping them into the main pool ball area (whatever that’s called) with peaces of a plastic bag that seemed to belong to a package of socks. He saw it go into the play area and did not mind picking it up, so I did, because little pieces of plastic bags are indeed another hazard for our little ones. Anyway, these are the few things I can think of now. I gave it an extra star only because we used to LOVE this place, not anymore. Sad! We’re going to cancel our membership :(

I used to enjoy taking my kids to Uptown Jungle. They have fun and there is so much to do and it previously was a great place for fun birthday parties. But over the past few months, the quality of the place has plummeted. Now, there are a lot of broken, missing, and worn down features that need to be fixed. Air Floors constantly deflate and are dangerous. Some things have been broken for an entire year. I understand kids are hard on things, but most of what is broken is relatively inexpensive to fix or replace. It also is not as clean as it used to be. I hope that the franchise owners will make the effort to make some changes so it doesn't continue to go downhill, because it started out as a really unique attraction for this area.

We love coming to uptown Jungle, it's always a good time for the kids. As an event planner I love doing events here! Everyone is so kind and helpful to us. Being able to set up and decorate for events is a big one for me and they're always so patient with us.

Had my kiddos party there. The hostess and staff were attentive and were good about checking in on us. We had pizza come out an hour before the cotton candy tower. It was a fantastic experience.
