[quote=Anonymous]I am sure they are busy at certain times but they are likely not busy most of there open hours so they need the price hike to make up the revenue. Also it’s likely the membership sales were not at the volume they anticipated. They likely aren’t getting a lot of repeat business but lots of people coming once or twice. I think these kind of places seem like great ideas but they never seem to be able to stay in business. I think the price eventually deters people since this area has tons of free options and homes that are larger and have playrooms and outdoor spaces A better implementation would be to downscale. People just aren’t willing to pay top dollar for indoor playgrounds in this area. So model it after successful mall implementations - large open areas with seating all around the play area, free WiFi, coffee bar, and $5 admission per person. Offer memberships that actually give a perk -certain number of free visits or ability to visit on holidays and limit general admission. Limit capacity and provide a live update via website if capacity is reached. Allow people to buy admission in advance for certain time slots. Manage capacity by having entry time slots and then clearing and cleaning btw the time slots. Birthday party room available with hosts but no exclusive use of facility. [/quote]
