What a great place for kids of all ages including the adults who are kids at heart. We got the all day pass and played for about 2.5 hours before our 21 month old was spent. The entire place is clean and well maintained, the staff was friendly (thank you Steve, Elijah and Prea) and the jungle gym is awesome! There is a small area for smaller kiddos to enjoy with little soft vinyl animals and ABC blocks and a small slide. The trampolines are up a couple steps and in the corner but there was access straight into the jungle gym! There was a rope bridge, several slides of various sizes and plenty to keep the kids (and yourself) entertained. The food was decent, standard stuff like pizza and wings all reasonably priced and no outside food is allowed (except cupcakes/cake if you’re having a party) The themed rooms were super cool with six options all set up with a “kings” (or queens) chair at the head of the table. Plenty of cubbies to store your stuff at the front, several individual family restrooms as well as larger restrooms. Our family will absolutely be back, we had an excellent day. Money well spent! Thank you Lava Island, we highly recommend checking this place out.

The best place for family fun. Safe, clean, & bright. Ideal ages I’d say 4-13 years old. I love how clean this place is and how the kind staff especially Angie at the front desk.

Huuuuuge indoor playground with lots of activities to choose from. Very big-kid friendly, but still has a smaller play area for the younger little ones. Would definitely recommend this place! They also have hourly rate options if you don’t plan to stay the whole day.

Definitely for older kids probably about ages 6-7 and up. I have toddlers and the toddler area was definitely NOT better than other similar establishments that I've visited before - TODDLER BABY AREA IS ACTUALLY LACKING IN MY OPINION. But if you do have older kids then this place is pretty amazing and they have a really nice cafe with pretty decent food. Lots of tables for parents to sit at and free Wi-Fi. Probably one of the biggest indoor play places we've ever visited🌋
