Very fun place for a kid to play! One of the best indoor playground and jump park I been too. The themes are very cool and well designed. I like how all the playscapes are connected via bridges. There are many secret things to find. Will provide your child with much entertainment. They serve good food and drink as well. Note you cannot bring in food or drink (even coffee) as they serve their own. Food was reasonable priced and filling. I would have given this place 5 stars but my issues with the predatory pricing. They charge adults even if you are just going to sit. Which for me really doesn't make sense. If you have a child you know can go play on their own, and a parent doesn't have a wrist band, they have plenty of staff walking around to see if an adult doesn't haven't wrist band they can't go on the park. But what my biggest issue is, they charge DOUBLE for an adult?? So now even if I bring my child and just want to sit in paying double the price? Adults who have no intention on playing should not have to pay an entry price. Parents who go to sit will buy food and drink and maybe if you threw some massage chairs in there and collect passive Income from that instead of pushing parents away from entering... also throw in some claw machines, these all are easy passive income.

The best kids indoor play place in a long time. It’s so beautifully decorated and well designed. My two year old has the most fun and it’s great for big kids too. They do have a tiny tot area too. It’s so clean and the staff is so nice as well. The manager I see when I go is always so helpful and friendly. Worth the trip. Cost wise is good too.

Real bummer is that the accompanying adults will have to pay full price even if they aren’t planning to play. Won’t be returning , only because of this reason. There are other options around the area where you don’t have to pay for the adults. You may argue that the other places cost approximately $30 per kid for whole day play while it is only $20 per person here. It evens out only when 2 kids are accompanied by only 1 adult and gets cheaper when more than 2 kids come in with an adult. Otherwise they get more money than other places . Clever pricing strategy though :) For the adults who are inclined to play along with the kids, this is a very good option. Relatively new place so it is clean. Huge play area with multiple options Trampolines, various slides , airbag jumping pits. play jungle maze is really good with challenging obstacle courses for kids. Cafe has all basic fast food options reasonably priced. I wish they didn’t force the nonparticipating adults to pay. wishfully thinking that they’d change the pricing policy if more parents provide this feedback.

We had an amazing time at Lava Island! The volcano theme is so creative and makes the whole place feel like an adventure. There were plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, and everything was very clean and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone stayed safe while having fun. We can’t wait to come back!
