Poughkidsie

Do not I repeat do not have a birthday party at this location! Very unprofessional! I was screamed at by the manager for asking to start the party, my mother was talked about in front of all my guest for taking a lot of pics w my daughter and the employees did not entertain the children or show them direction in what to do! On top of all this I called and left messages with the owner and 2 weeks later they called me with a promise to get back to me and never did HORRIBLE

This place is fantastic! I took my two 15 month old daughters today and they were in heaven. They played in the «village» section for about 3 hours and here was so much to do that they didn’t even get to some of the rooms. The place was clearly designed and stocked with love and care. Also, a plus, the coffee at the little café is individually brewed and was wonderful. If you’re in the area and have little kids this is a must-​do.

This place is the most amazing, wonderful place to bring your young children from age 1 – 5. Everything about this place is amazing — the location is insanely convenient and it’s in a nice, calm traffic area so you don’t have to worry about crazy traffic zooming about in the parking lot. The owners are always around, and are very hands-​on. They have a lovely array of snacks for both kids and adults –my daughter is always enamored with the milk boxes and the baby bel cheese. I can’t get enough of their tea talk tea there — you can even get an awesome, tasty bubble tea!
When you go in, on your left is the studio. This is an area where you pick the craft that you want to complete on the wall (and there are countless ones to choose from). After paying a flat price for the craft, there’s a staff person to get you a smock, paint (if your craft needs it), and other supplies. All you do is enjoy making the craft with your child. You can add beads, buttons, sparkles, sequins… you name it! All is includes in the price. It may seem at first that you’re overpaying for the convenience, but when you add up buying all these supplies for the craft at your house, only to be used once, it only makes sense to come to Poughkidsie.
The other part of this establishment is the Village. You pay a flat fee per child, ($ 11.95 I believe?) And your child has complete access to all the fun areas the Village had to offer: a younger child play room with gymnastics — type climbing equipment; a fully equipped play kitchen with tables, cash registers, and a huge blue play oven; a costume room with costumes of all sizes, of numerous characters, a play piano and mirror; a Lego and block room; a play bank room with a huge chalk board; a play doctors office, complete with legit people and animal. x-​rays for viewing (I was teaching some kids basic anatomy yesterday when my daughter was there); a huge wooden slide area; and, a bunch of little tikes cars with a play gas station.
It is a child’s heaven, and my daughter absolutely loves it here. I can’t say enough great things about this place, except I hope it’s in business here for many years to come.
