jenky and ghetto. downstairs where we rented the party space is literally under construction. sections missing off the lego wall. the young girls they had to help were on phones and minimally helpful. the “juice bar” is lame. the bounce house i paid for was tiny and they put it up late and took it down early. the bubble machine i believe i paid 80 for was up briefly and the same little one at home off amazon. exposed unfinished plywood is crazy. its mid at best. not worth the 1000 bucks i spent. i figured in the city it be nicer tbh

We are thrilled they are open again for private bookings and Billy is great with the kids during check in. My daughter gets a kick out of having her "tempture" taken.

We love NEST! Came for one visit and we were hooked. It’s clean and well taken care of. The staff are friendly and the music time was a great surprise. We don’t even live in the same state and I am purchasing a membership. Definitely willing to take the 1hr Amtrak ride in to spend the day with my baby there many times a month. She loved making new friends and I enjoyed the sense of community.
