Badlands is the best! The space is great and the hosts really do take care of everything. We had one for my kid's 5th birthday.
But yes, very expensive so we probably won't do it again.

We did it for our son's 5th birthday and it was great. Although, I don't see Badlands as that much fun for anyone old enough to play video games at Chuck E Cheese. I feel like they would age out at about 7?

There’s no comparison to CEC. Badlands is 1000 times better. But it is more expensive. The facility is great. The birthday houses are amazing and so is the decorations. It’s a special birthday party.

I've attended a couple recently. I haven't notice it really aging. The kids had fun as always. They really like the candy cart at the end, and we wound up staying almost an hour after the party so they could run and climb.

But I don't think I would ever host just because they are so crazy expensive.

Anyone done one? Seems expensive and I was reading on another thread that the facilities are showing their age. I’d prefer to do a nature center parry or party at our home but our kid loves these cheesy places (she’d be thrilled with Chuck E Cheese which grosses me out). Anyone done one recently?
