Come here on a regular basis with my children - who love the ever changing things that one can do. The food is simple and geared for the kids. A good time!

My kids LOVE this place! They especially had fun at the outdoor water park this summer! I love that they have the theater as well as the arcade so the kids can take a break from jumping, but all in all, a wonderful place to spend the day!

When they moved they got rid of a lot of their equipment. It is very small in there. $23 for two kids to play. That doesnt include food, arcade or movie. If you go be prepared to spend. The kids had a good time and it was hard to get them to leave.

It was awesome. Kids had a ball. 1 thing that made me give 4 stars was there was only 1 worker. 2 workers would be best. But she was amazing and did an amazing job with my child who has DS. She even used sign language with her.

It is a bit smaller than the old location, but my kids still had a lot of fun. They no longer have the obstacle course, giant football, the large basketball inflatable or the one where you jump across the balls. They definitely still pack in a lot. The price includes three of the additional activities to off-set the fact that there are not as many inflatables. They also have the movie theater, which is reasonably priced. My only complaint is that they don’t have enough staff to cover the extras. I would like to see the meltdown go in order to make room for more jumping. Fun place!

The old location for this place was much better than the current location. The other building was more spacious and gave kids room to run around, had better bounce houses. The new location is much smaller and everything is tightly together, no more chairs for adults to sit in front of bounce houses to watch there kids. You will bump into other people walking around this place.

Took my daughter and her friend, whom are both under 10yrs, and they witness one of the workers taking pictures of them. When I addressed it with staff (including the owner) they said the girls were lying. I had previously though he was, however I hadnt seen the flash. They were standing 10ft from me when they witnessed his flash go off, told me and when I looked he quickly put it away. Will not be returning and have notified other parents I know.

My son had so much fun here. The arcade is a bit of a ripoff though. Set a limit or the look of disappointment on your kids face when you run out of money will only be eclipsed by your own disappointment when you realize you just spent $50 so your kid could turn in his tickets for $3 worth of mini erasers.

Nice place to take the kids. Friendly staff. Not too expensive. Movie and arcade right next door. During the summer they have inflatables for a water park too. The arcade is a little pricey but fun. Cheap seat movies. Food is priced pretty good. I would highly recommend for an outing with the family. You wont break the bank and youll have a variety of fun.

This place has lots of bounce house fun, arcade uses tokens, a two lane bowling alley, machinery rides, mechanical bull broken, movie theaters and snack bar. Food is good, reasonable prices, soda profit. Watch little ones that go behind the scenes and get into things behind the inflatables! And color-coded wristbands for parents should circumvent kidnapping.

My girls (8 & 11) loved it. We spent a couple hours in the morning and a couple hours in the evening. Can leave and return in the same day. A good variety of options at the snack bar including some healthier choices and a gluten free option. They loved the bouncy houses and had lots of fun. Plenty of staff who were friendly.

Review №16

This place was pretty cool. My son had a good time. Although there wasnt very many bouncy things for his age he is 5. Out of the eight different attractions they had in the bouncy house only two of them more appropriate for him. He bounced her about 20 minutes then hurt his foot and got mad so we went to the arcade. The Bounce House cost $10 for a 10 year old kid that would be great and they had one thing for 2 year olds. We did enjoy the arcade although you spend a lot of money quickly there. You use a card and not quarters. Another good feature was that there was a movie theater you can walk into without even going outside. The movie theater at great deals. All in all a fun place to bring kids if do you feel like spending at least $50

I have a friend that went here. Her son fell and she instantly knew that from the crying it was a bad fall. The mother asked for a manager to dial 911 and water for her son thats the only thing he asked for.A worker tried asking the manager for water the manager refused to give the child water. The worker had to take money out of her own pocket for the childs water. The manager said it was not her responsibility to dial 911 no compassion for the child at all. My friends child ended up going to walk in care where his arm was broken and needed emergency surgery. I would not recommend playland adventures they do not care about children at all.

My friends were so excited to introduce us to this. Unfortunately it’s at a new location and over half of the things on the website are not here. They didn’t update the address to new location in maps. They are making people pay per token after just 3 free timed jumps on only bouncy house my kid liked - the ones on website he got excited about are not here (used to be unlimited turns). No water fountain- I feel bad for the budget of multiple kid families!!!

Review №21

We used to love this place when it was in Brewer & it was a yearly tradition to go there on our son’s birthday, but the new place is not the same at all. Less inflatables & space. There are more “token” activities than there are inflatables. Many of the inflatables are dirty & run down. Staff was rude & seemed less than enthused about helping the kids. Arcade is fun, but $$ adds up quickly. Overall, it’s fun for about half an hour & then the kids lose interest! Not sure how they can fix it all, but hoping it turns around somehow.

Review №22

My kids and I used to love this place before they moved. We dont like the way it is in the new building. All the bounce houses are so close together no room to run around and they dont have as many as they used to. And the arcade has half of the games as they used to as well. Also in the arcade you cannot use money on the machines you have to get a card with money on it and swipe it at all the machines. ️ We will not be going back.

The night was not very busy as it was right at dinner time but it was still a fun time! The arcade was the best part playing immersive arcade games with my son for about $20 and still have money left over. This place has always been the best place to bring a little one of youre on Bangor, Maine! A+++ for the space invaders!

Review №24

First time here since they moved from Brewer to Bangor. Honestly it was a disappointment. Much smaller play area. Not many indoor inflatables and the play space was cramped. I did not expect to pay $23 for two kids. If I had known I would have brought bathing suits for the outdoor spalsh-zone which had some of the old indoor inflatables as water rides. The arcade area was nice, had good games with decent payouts.Not sure if we will return. The Bangor area needs some fun things to do for the youth with family, this used to be one of those places.

Review №26

Dont waste your money! The old location was larger, more open and less cramped. We were among the first to arrive at opening and they didnt even have enough crew to man all three token rides come on people its February vacation, when we did ask to go on the bungee trampoline the staff said they had to find another staff member ...Once they did open the the thing it was so packed it wasnt worth waiting for their arcade is also a big joke. We live 1 1/2 hour away, the old place was worth the drive this place isnt..... We will not be returning.

I was very sorry to see the changes here ..when they where in Brewer there was way more offered for the price.. I am here with my family and there like only four bounce props available for the children ...no pizza cooked during the week either so no lunch for the kids while at play ... This is totally a money grabbing gimmick no value at all ....do yourself a favor and go to some other family center ..... Very very unsatisfied totally a rip off......I will not be back here ...plus some staff is rude and uncaring

Review №30

I have a 4 year old and a 6 year old they ran around the whole place and went on everything multiple times in about 15 minutes then they were ready to go. Much smaller, more compacted, less inflatables, need to take your shoes and jackets off in the entryway which is much cooler and damp/wet floors. I liked the old location much better.

Great place to bring the kids in for a movie and have a nice family time. They have a virtual reality section which is really cool and the person who runs that is very knowledgeable. It is a must try the next time you visit this place.

Review №32

Waste of money (not right to charge the same as they used to and get rid of over half of what was offered before!!!) it’s mostly for tiny kids since they moved!!!! What was once a large and family fun place is now TINY and only FOUR inflatables for kids! Over priced now for the lack of things to do. They definitely sold out.

Review №33

This was the first time we brought our children to Playland Adventures. The price was right and seems fair! Most of the bounce houses and slides are included with the basic cost of the bracelet. They give you two free tokens per bracelet to use on the paid jumping activities. The facility was clean and has a friendly atmosphere.

Je
Review №34

Location moved. Did not have many of the inflatables it used to. Poor experience overall. Some of the workers did not seem very attentive. The token rides were okay. Definitely not worth paying extra for when you get past your 3 free limit. Not worth the money.

Review №36

First off the kids had alot of fun which was the whole point of going so mission accomplished. In comparison to their last location the bounce house selection was much smaller, perhaps a third of the prior. The price is reasonable. Theres a small arcade like they had before but now all the machines use swipe cards so no need for carrying change and tickets around. Only downside is you can drop $10 in 10 minutes or less....with one four year old!? As an adult I especially enjoy playing the virtually reality games there but make sure you arive a few hours before they close (@5pm) or the VR time might be all bought up. We havent tried the movie theater thats in the same complex but there seems to be a good selection of new movies available.

Review №39

Really disappointed in the downsizing of your inflatables. You had a lot more in Brewer, the only thing that expanded was the arcade, but now its all done with tokens requiring a minimum of $5 on to the arcade card. Also, your employees were visibly irritated when my children asked for assistance on the trampoline jump, and also the cage. That was it for me. I have 3 kids, and we have been plenty of times over the years, and just loved it.. but now unfortunately we wont plan to return.

Great fun for the kids! Once inside theres plenty of inflatable things to play on without having to spend more! There is an arcade and more advanced rides that cost more. They also have separate inflatables for 5and under so you dont have to worry about your toddler getting run over

My niece and nephew (2 and 3) loved this place. There were lots of older kids as well. Cool bouncy houses with slides and some coin op rides for little ones. Socks are a must (we forgot some for my 2 yr old niece n they were $1.50... ) Pretty inexpensive and a cute little surprise for an outing.

Review №46

My kids had a ton of fun, but this place has gone wayyyyyy downhill compared to the old location. It is much smaller. My kids favorite inflatables, leaps n bounds and the obstacle course, are not there. It is very cramped in the space, and hard to keep track of little ones who dart off.I was disappointed that there was no water fountain. Instead Im supposed to buy and keep track of 4 bottles of water for my kids, and it costs $10. No thanks.I had heard this place was not as awesome as it used to be. But I was skeptical because I heard the new location was bigger. Guess I should have listened. Im not sure I will ever go back. Too bad, because there arent a lot of things for kids to do in winter.

Review №54

We used to love the Brewer location.The new location is way smaller than the older one, the best inflatables that they had before have not been brought to the new location (obstacle course, basketball court). VR room has only 2 stalls and the technology froze during the 10 minutes we had to pay for.I booked a party which ended up costing $250 for 10 kids. We were told we would have one hour in the party room but the room was not clean until well into our scheduled time and we ended up having less than half an hour in the party room before the next party showed up. Management refused to refund any portion of the money paid. Needless to say we will not be going back and I would definitely recommend booking parties elsewhere.

Review №55

Good place to bring preteen or physically capable children. Especially on a rainy day @ camp. Many inflatable bouncers. Obstacle course. a Gyroscopic ride thingy that I cant remember the name of. Small kid area. Summer time outdoor splash pad area. Chairs for adults to sit, and watch the kids go. Tables, and concession stand with drinks options. Clean restroom. Cheap price. Ive heard they have Nerf gun battles occasionally at night.. definitely a fun place in Bangor. And a must go on our camp trip (when the kids get bored of twigs and rocks.)

What can I say about this place totally worth it both of my kids absolutely loved it went head-over-heels I dont think the waterpark is particularly worth it for the amount that theyre charging extra but that is not going to affect my rating at all because I didnt even go to the water park portion and the other portion was well worth the money and was much better than the other ones Id been to in this state all in all cant recommend this place enough as a place to take your kid please support it we need a place like this in this state

Review №61

We wont be back again. We have been going to the Brewer location for a few years. We loved it and my daughter thought it was great. The new location has less inflatables and what they do have is so packed in that you can barely move. My daughter actually went in one bounce house, for about 10 seconds, and then asked if we could go elsewhere. She said it was too loud and too many kids.Update - moving from 1 to 3 stars for the addition of the outside waterpark. $10 for all day; I even saw one family leave and come back. Would have given 4 stars if adults could have participated. They also show a small pool, on their website, that was not present. A small pool would have been nice for ghe kids to take a breather in, or for them to swim a little since they couldnt really stay floating at the bottom of the slides.

Review №62

Good time at a great price! Brought my son here and he absolutely loved it! It was enjoyable even as a spectator. There are many inflatable slides, obstacle courses, and bounce houses to explore. There is a small arcade area with a variety of games for different ages. There is a prize counter for turning in tickets from some of the games. Food and drinks are also available to purchase. We always come on a weekday and its never been crowded. Not sure how the weekends are. Overall its a lot of fun for a very good price.

Review №63

This place is not at all as good as it was in Brewer. So much smaller inside and its very hard to see your children because the bounce houses are jammed together. There is no water fountain. About six actual bounce houses two of which are 5 and under. The arcade does not give actual tickets anymore, its all on a play credit card. And its $10 admission. So pay more for less entertainment. One plus or minus is a movie threater. Over all very disappointed.

Review №64

Good value, lots of fun for the whole family. We recently had our daughters birthday party here. It was good but they say the fee per child includes 1 slice of pizza plus chips, soda, and an ice cream sandwich. I was very surprised when they came in and cut each slice in half and gave each child a half of a slice of pizza? And then they had a half of slice left from the pizza that they cut from and took it out of the room instead of leaving it for one of the kids followed by trying to sell us extra pizza....... Other than that odd situation very enjoyable.

My daughter hated it.I took my daughter as a treat for doing well in school. She was so disappointed that i had to make it up to her.There are a handful of inflatable bouncey structures for kids to play in. One had a spilled sticky drink in it, and another had a pool of vomit. My daughter was grossed out when she got it on her dress, and it didnt appear that there was any effort being made to clean it up.The vending machines were off, but with no sign to indicate that they were out of order. Thus, my daughter lost her quarters trying to get them to work.The food i bought her was outrageously priced and disappointing. The donuts ($4) were soggy and the pizza ($3) was cold and unpalatable.The more alluring attractions are pay per use ($3 each) thus, the $10 POP band does not apply.Overall, it was not worth the time, drive, or money. Live and learn, I guess.

Always have a blast here, great place for kiddos of most ages and always free for adults even to use the equipment/bounce houses with your children! One low price for an all day bracelet, you can come and go as needed so long as you have your bracelet. They also have a comfy area with leather couches and tv for the adults who dont want to play or just need a little time out. Highly recommended to all!!!

Review №88

The water park was beyond disappointing. Usually when my wife and I bring our daughter she has a wonderful time inside. The water park is a different story. If people are planning to bring small children to the water slides outside dont bother. Youre not allowed to help your child on the water slides at all, though the sign at the desk says parents can help their children. If your child cant go completely unassisted all there is outside in a tiny plastic pool of warm water.A few of the slides outside were ones from inside that they simply sprayed with water, which left sitting in the sun became hot water. A mostly dried slide sprinkled with hot water is not a water slide.
