"The staff WAS AMAZING"
- Ashley Russ (party for 6yo boy)
"Just a phenomenal experience from start to finish. My son and all his friends had a great time - and my son was truly made to feel like the star. An outstanding operation - they handled greeting the kids and parents at the door, giving all the kids name-tapes, receiving the presents from the guests, keeping all the kids occupied for the entire time with just amazing energy, and then taking care of serving the pizza and cake. I could not have asked for a better experience."
- Ben Abbott, Stamford CT (party for 5yo boy)
"Great Play was the best birthday party experience for my son and his friends - and for me as well! I'm usually "crazy party lady" but decided to turn the party over for my 7 year old. It was the best decision. They were active and well-directed throughout the party and the planning process was simple. The whole experience was great. Thanks Great Play!"
- Anne Schaefer, Sammamish WA (party for 7yo boy)
