Ive done it twice through KAH but it goes too late so I dont feel like I get my moneys worth out of it because I pick my kid (7) up at 8 instead of 9. Even 8 is late though and she is a mess getting through shower and bedtime.

Thought about doing it at Color me Mine but again it goes until 9. too late for us.

We did it once at Once Upon A Dream, which seems pretty low key, with another family so our preschooler has a friend and the adults went out to dinner.

Also, I don't want to go out to dinner at 5:30, so it feels like a waste of time. It's also usually more expensive than a sitter would be.

They are too late for my little kids. I've only done the one at JW tumbles from 5:30-9 or so, but my kids are exhausted and don't want to be playing at 8pm. My little one wants to be asleep.

I only do this at places my kids have previously visited thru open gym times. Right now our rotation includes My Gym Silver Stars and Dynamite. I prefer this to a baby sitter if logistics work out.

Places like myGym and Pump it Up, etc..

Do you do drop off at random “fun places”?
