"Best spot in the city for crawlers. This is by far the best place we've found in the city for our babies. They love crawling around on "baby mountain" - a series of hard pillows stacked together for climbing. The staff are friendly and genuine, and the environment is very comfortable - clean bathrooms, large open spaces and plenty of places for adults to sit and be comfortable."

"OMG this place is my savior! Such a great space (nice and clean), awesome people and teachers. My daughter loves her classes! Good selection of classes, too!!!"

"We just love Bubbles! We've been taking our children there since they were tiny and have always been hugely impressed. The structured sessions are great: fun, creative and always age-appropriate. And open play is a fantastic way to work off the kids' excess energy, especially in hot, cold or wet weather. The place is spotless and it is reassuring to see the staff disinfecting individual toys and equipment after the sessions. If you're looking for an indoor play area or creative classes for your little ones, you can't go wrong with Bubbles!"
