      Great indoor play area for toddlers and babies as well as older kids. Baby and toddler area is cushioned, has slide and stairs and trampoline (great for balance training) as well as a plastic ball pool. Our daughter is challenged every time and leaves exhausted and happy and ready for nap time.

      Sandy's team has incredible attention to detail, are very proactive in their support and help keep everything on track.

      They made sure to ask if we'd like them to record special moments, they help keep the party on track with the schedule we laid out at the start, they help with decorations that we picked, they do all the cleanup and even help bring your stuff back to your car. I don't think I can emphasize enough how professional and on top they are. It is easily worth price so we can focus more on being present and spending time with everyone.

      Fun indoor play place for kids. There are several levels to the main play structure and they have a variety of activities for the kids to enjoy, including a swing, a trampoline, and an inflatable tube slide. They also have a separate area for the 2 and under tots.

      You can hold birthday parties here and the staff will essentially take care of everything, including all the clean-up which makes it super convenient for the parents. You can actually enjoy your kids party instead of being stressed about all the logistics.

      This place has been an absolute dream, especially when the weather isn't great.

      My kids have loved it since they were barely able to climb up to the second and third levels of the slides and play structures until now at 3 and 5 years old they absolutely crush everything and have the absolute best time ever!

      We also had a birthday party here that I can honestly say was the smoothest, easiest, and most fun we could've hoped for. Full service from start to finish and so well organized and executed you can see that they specialize in making it flow beautifully.

      It's been some time since our last play date at Little Oceanauts. We were lucky to catch the fantastic community event hosted by Little Oceanauts and Ocean Avenue Association.

      As always, the team at LO was all so friendly, patient, and welcoming. The space was clean and beautifully decorated with spring/Easter decor.

      Sandy, who warmly greeted us and helped many guests capture family photos all while managing the busy and lively event.

      We are grateful for the opportunity to come back to this wonderful business.

      Whether you're looking for a venue for a special event or just somewhere fun to take your little ones, Little Oceanaut is a great place for everyone.

      Friendly staff, clean facilities, and great party room! We had a great experience here. Parking is a bit tricky but I suppose everywhere in the city can be!

      Just did a "halfway to one" celebration with our 6 month old this weekend. Sandy, Linda and the team make it so easy to host a party. Their party room space is big and can accommodate a large number of people. They have their own vendors (balloons, decorations, snow cones, cotton candy, cake, caterers, face painting etc) which looked very professional so everything could be a one stop shop if you need, and they are flexible enough to allow outside vendors. I hired an outside planner to help me with day of coordination but a week before the event she cancelled on me due to a family emergency with no replacement. However, I soon realized that I would not need a planner because Linda and her team were extremely organized, on top of it, and friendly. We dropped off our non perishables and decorations the day before. When we arrived 15 min before the event start time, everything was nearly set up. The kid and adult tables were set up as expected, balloon backdrop was set up as well, and Linda was working with the caters to set up the buffet table. By the start time, everything was great. Linda went over the timeline with me and made adjustments on the spot. During the party her team played our playlist and made friendly microphone announcements / reminders for food time and cake cutting. They worked with our photographer to ensure we got the pics we wanted and even took some themselves, they even request our iPhones to take pictures and videos for us. The food was set up on time and at our end time Linda made sure that guests took any extra home and set aside leftovers for us. They cut the cake and passed the cake around to our guests. At the end of the party, they cleaned everything up and took our car keys and loaded the car up nicely. We got so many compliments from so many people who were really impressed by the organization and execution by Linda and her team, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them decide to have a party there too. We are SO happy we did our party with Little Oceanauts! I will add pictures when we get them!

      I hosted a birthday party at Little Oceanauts and was very impressed with the "full-service" experience we had. The Little Oceanauts staff handled all party set up (paying attention to details such as beautifully arranging the cupcakes we brought in) and clean up, and made sure we stick to a predetermined schedule (e.g, eating time, cake cutting time, etc.). My 6 year old loves the indoor playground here, and my husband and I loved the fact we could catch up with our guests during our party without having to worry about staying on schedule, serving food, etc. This is an excellent venue for a children's birthday party - highly recommend.

      My son attended his friend's birthday party here last night. Our first time. The experience was great. They had friendly staff. The space was good had lots of seating for adults. The staff organized the a display and food very nicely and attended to the kids and helped the parents take photos when it was cake time.

      When people say they do everything for you here. THEY REALLY MEAN IT.
      I wasn't skeptical, but I was still thinking I had to probably still do SOMETHING. But no. Once you hand over your supplies and food. They do it all.

      We hosted my son's 5th birthday this past weekend and we are so amazed at how organized and efficient they are. We wished (or I wished) lol we booked a longer party/bigger package, since it felt like it ended too quickly. Also wish they had private party options during the day rather than just evening, but understand it would hinder business LOL.

      We made our own balloon arch, and it was in 3 sections, thinking I'd have to build it at the site, NOPE! They took care of it! With only 15 mins of prep time, they were able to do it all! I love that they have all the serving utensils, all the decorative props needed for the desserts, cake, etc.

      They tell you ahead of the "schedule" for the party and they are on it! I only wished I had remembered or asked for a group picture with everyone.

      Sandy, Linda and team were so great. We really didn't have to worry about a thing. We could mingle with the parents. The kids had SUCH A BLAST. Perhaps we'll throw another party here when the youngest turns 5. HAHA

      We are definitely coming back with our kids for regular play and think we got our friends hooked to the place as well.
