Best Children's Birthdays Washington Near Me

Joyce Adams: My son and his friends had an amazing time at his Zoom Birthday celebration with Mad Science. Things That Go Boom was amazing!!! Dr. Sara was so much fun and energetic. She taught the kids so much about each experiment and she kept them smiling and laughing the entire time. Dr. Sara made my son, the Birthday Boy the star of the show! I would definitely recommend Mad Science to my friends. I have already gotten several inquiries about how to contact the company. This show is a must see for kids and adults alike. What a great experience! Thank you Mad Science and Dr. Sara!

Agnes Kalinowska: Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValuePrincess Parties of DC were so accommodating, extremely responsive and easy to work with. The performers were true professionals. Arrived early and from the moment they entered, they run the show, keeping the kids 100% occupied and happy! Thank you very much for a great service. Highly recommend.

Lauren Dreyer: I can’t say enough good things about The Lane. I’ve recommended it to dozens of local friends, and even to some out-of-towners when they come to DC with kids. It’s an amazing space for kids that, most importantly, is GREAT for parents too! As apartment dwellers, we are always venturing out of the house for more stimulation. The Lane is so much fun for our daughter, who adores all the toys and activities and play spaces. It’s one of those amazing, and nearly impossible to find, spots that has enough to keep kids of all ages entertained for hours. And we parents enjoy the coffee and beer and rooftop deck and sunshine and clean, safe, creative, and thoughtful space within which to let our daughter roam free! It’s a great alternative for winter or rainy weather, but we love it so much that it’s become a regular part of our weekend routine, even when the weather is nice!

Jessica Herman: Have gotten coffee here a couple times now and am definitely impressed! Got a large order with some coworkers and all of us were really happy with our coffees. Latte, cappuccino, even drip coffee! Glad to support a small business! Definitely recommend!

Lydia Senchenko: I felt very uneasy after reading the negative reviews but we have an extremely energetic 1.9 yo, so I didn’t care at this point of our vacation - she needed to get her wiggles OUT. We were so happy to visit this place. It felt more like an indoor playground rather than a museum, but who cares? The museum is spacious, lots of different activities to keep you busy for 2-3 hrs (who can handle more I have no idea). It was about $18/person but I can’t put a price tag on a busy fun-having child! Overall, our child enjoyed it - we can’t ask for more.

kevin com: Great place

Megan Mason: This was our first visit to Nook at Mosaic. We had visited Nook in Arlington in the past. This location seemed smaller but maybe my kids have just gotten that much bigger! We were greeted by a not so friendly employee who promptly let me know I had only paid for one child online, not two. I had actually called and left a message hours earlier asking about this. I never received a call back but she seemed uninterested. My kids took their shoes off and started to explore. My 3 year old son wandered over to the retail area and she followed him the Secret Service. It was pretty over the top for a children’s play place. I assured her I would t let him touch anything, just look. But what’s the point if your kid can’t touch an overpriced toy to see if they like it before you break the bank? The next family who came in was greeted with, “are you aware of our rates?” I found that a little discriminatory since they were the only party greeted that way. Turns out they were happy to pay $30 for their one child and two adults to stay for the hour before the store closed. My kids really enjoyed the experience. They’re ages 3 & 5 years old. They engaged in lots of pretend play and loved bouncing from noon to nook. There were many coffee cups left on play areas and on top of wooden structures. Since the play place was pretty empty, I assumed they were left from earlier in the day. I think that the staff member should have been more diligent about taking care of those. Overall the whole place get like it needed a good cleaning. I always enjoy play places that regularly wipe things down and keep on top of cleanliness. Coffee cups left throughout could be dangerous for little ones. Our visit was cut short when a loud fire alarm went off. One mother was visibly shaken and kept asking if this had ever happened before but the employees were not responsive. We, the guests hurried to grab our things and exit without so much as a, “thanks for coming” or “sorry for the inconvenience”. Nook is a unique and much needed change of pace from typical children’s play centers. I hope that the owner takes time to cultivate the culture among her staff that will sustain her business as it grows.

Karthikeyan Rajaram: Luck is when you run into a beautiful place like this without planning. Better luck is when you get into it in the company of a person who used to volunteer at this place. We didn’t really plan to be at the arboretum, considering that the Spring is still not Springy enough. We had seen enough of Cherry Blossoms in the Tidal basin area that we thought we could do something else. We just made it to this place on recommendation from one of our relatives, who also accompanied us. Since he was a volunteer here, he helped us navigate and gave us so much insights about the different kinds of plants, flowers, bonsais and the what the lovely people who work here, do. We drove around this place and still got to see more cherry blossoms, along with different other species of flora. The enchanting Bonsai museum is a must visit as it did take our breathes away. The old columns of the capitol and the grove of different state trees are some of the special features of this place. The flowers were not in full blossom and we definitely look forward to checking this place again in summer.

Darwin Parker: What a great place to visit! George Washington worked hard to serve and improve life. It was amazing to see where he lived, his tomb, and his legacy. Side note- my son passed out in front of the entrance and the staff was incredibly helpful and prompt to take care of him and get an ambulance to come check him out. The staff checked on him throughout the day multiple times to make sure he was okay.

Chaturbhuj bhojwani: Very good hospital for children my daughter had a eye surgery here.She was the patient of Dr. Jaffar.

M Williamson: This place used to be fun for kids to play on the weekend especially in the winter. Expensive and overpriced, but still fun. Tonight, we waited an hour to enter and afterward realized that half of the attractions are closed. The above-ground obstacle course, rock climbing, and all of the open space trampolines are closed, which are basically the best part of the experience. The open parts are the two small trampolines connected to the two ball pits, which seem to be reserved for the smaller children at this time, the basketball course, and the obstacle course in the back. My kids are still having fun but for half the attractions to be closed admission should be discounted and I feel like a victim of bait and switch.

Ranjini Iyengar: Highly recommend Eric Energy for your next kids event. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing his performance multiple times at school events and at other venues. Always a high energy, interactive event that the kids truly enjoy! Thank you for entertaining so many kids! Looking forward to seeing you again. Bonus: he is super easy to book and work with.
