Testimonials

"We couldn't have been happier with the entire process. Excellent communication from start to finish. The birthday party staff was crucial in assuring that everyone had a great time! The swimming portion was well-coordinated and there was sufficient supervision and all kids had a swim test to check kids' abilities and provided adequate floatation. The party room was enormous and had plenty of space for everyone. Overall-it was a great experience and I couldn't recommend them enough!"-Bryan M.
"My daughter had her 5th birthday party at the Y that included a pool party and a huge party room to accommodate tons of family/friends, games & food. It was such a fun experience that we know we'll be back to plan another party in the future. The best experience yet!"-Matthew M.
