I was going to say this, even though I feel bad for the nice owner, and my kid still really likes it. But I'm not sure it counts as overrated, when so many people Yelp about its... umm... threadbareness. It does feel overpriced for what you get. But then again, my kid really does like it, so go figure.[/quote]

It's $9/head for both kids and adults, but they are in Bethesda with high rents and do need to pay to keep the doors open.. so I don't really begrudge them that. We got about once every few months so it's more like a special treat.

Similar to Mila's Playland in Gainesville. It's $10/head, so we go as a special treat not on a regular basis.[/quote]

My kid likes vets this place and would spend hours there. I don't mind it however when we were there a few weeks ago the owner yelled at my child for not putting the cymbals back in the right place in the library and then told him not to go in 2 of the rooms because she had just cleaned them. He really wanted to go in this particular room and it was what he picked as his last thing to do. The owner was totally rude. We paid to be there and when I mentioned to her that I'd put away whatever he took out she said when looking at her watch, "we have really been here for hours and done everything". This was at 2:30pm not exactly closing time. I always put stuff away with my child and make clean up part of our time there. I respect the space and others and was sad that she said that to us and refused to let him in the room. [/quote]

I'm guessing you mean Playseum right? I think she started it back when her kids were the age to go there, and now they're teenagers. She was pretty friendly last time we went a few weeks ago. Must've caught her on a bad day.[/quote]

I personally think the owner is over owning and maintaining it. At a birthday party she was equally snippy. I don't think she likes my child much either. He has some developmental delays and I don't think she enjoys when parents bring in children with delays. After seeing her act similarly to a child with ASD we avoid that place.[/quote]
