We attended a birthday party at honey hippo and it was a great venue! The space was wide open, lots of room for kids to run around and not be on top of eachother. There was a separate playing area for young kids and our little guy played in there mostly, but did go to the rest of the play ground a couple times. The party room where you can have food was not in the best location, you couldn’t sit down and open gifts in there and watch the children play, it’s an entirely different room. I didn’t have a coffee but several friends did and they all said it was good but very sweet. Overall we had a good time!!

We have played at honey hippo many times and finally got to have our babies 1st birthday here! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Shelby offered to help set up which was so sweet of her and helped all our guests in a timely manner get delicious drinks! The fact that they do the clean up at the end for you is such a relief after a busy day!!! We had many adults attend and there was plenty of seating options for them as well which was a plus! Thank so much Shelby & Traci

Booked a party for our 3 year old’s birthday. We gave Laura the theme and showed her what we would be bringing in and she did the rest! She just knows how to tie it all together and was more than willing to help put everything in place before guests arrived. Always clean and inviting. My daughter loves this place and I am so happy we got to celebrate her here!

Best place in town for a play date! The facility is kept clean and the play equipment is great for kids 6 and under. We also hosted a birthday party here and it was fantastic. The prices are more than fair for a high quality experience. The staff is very professional and friendly. We love Honey Hippo!

We booked a birthday party for our 4-year old daughter. Had planned to handle most of the decorating and food ourselves. Bit off a little more than we could chew! Laura went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up perfectly, ordered pizza for the kids, and made clean up very easy. Would recommend to anyone and everyone planning an event for their kids.

We absolutely love going to honey hippo. Try to go a few times a month for my daughter. She loves all the fun toys and snacks. They are so good about switching the toys and space up so the kids dont get bored. Also their coffee is AMAZING. Very clean. Very friendly. We even used them for my daughters birthday. It was wonderful. We adore honey hippo.
