What People Say

Perfect for families - now they don't have to stay up to midnight to watch the ball drop! My 5-year-old loved the blocks and climbing structures, while my 7-year-old enjoyed making crafts. The DJ got everyone dancing!

A safe space for families with young children to celebrate. Times Square on NYE is not kid-friendly, but this is perfect! The noon and 1pm countdowns work great before naptime. Very intergenerational event.
