Kidz Village Woodbridge

I think it’s a great venue for events. My nephew had a blast. However, for the play salon area, I would like to see diverse mannequins that reflect children and customers of all colors and various hair textures… All of the mannequins were white and implicitly conveyed a message that children should strive to reach the European standard of beauty.

Seriously, the toys are broken (eg, 3 cash registers in the food store, not a one has any kaching, kaching factor, and the items for sale are empty boxes and empty plastic bottles of juice, etc.). The Super Hero costumes were disgustingly dirty, and the place just seems like it has a layer of scum all over it. AND, it costs $ 10,99 per kid.
There was a decent size climbing apparatus, but it was hard to see the kids from the parent seats as they went up to the third level.
I have to believe Chuckee Cheese would be better for a birthday party. I can’t imagine anyone taking their kids here twice.
Just avoid it altogether!

Went to this establishment with my toddler and a family member. Staff seemed friendly. I’ll write a small list of pros and cons.
Pros– friendly young woman in the front entrance
–Toddler have a generally good time
–It was empty when we arrived
–There are a few hand sanitizer stations around
–there was plenty of parking
–price
Cons– there was dust everywhere
–We went late in the afternoon so place was unorganized but expected
–Arcade had many out of order machines or machines that printed 0 tickets
— food area closed quickly but I didn’t mind because by the looks of it it wasn’t clean enough for my taste
–inappropriate music playing in the food area
–the hair boutique was kind of creepy with the dolls heads
–some toys are worn out
–in the castle some of the ball shooting machines didn’t work
–when we arrived there was a dirty table with tissue on it and food remains, when we left it was still on that table about an hour and a half later
— never saw the staff walk around once only when the young man in the restaurant went to toss the trash
— bathrooms, I did not even dare to walk in there after the condition of the place
–media room consisted of three touch screen computers, one was not working
–I would rather more play foods than the actual containers of previous real food in the restaurant that seemed so tacky to use and unhygienic
–the carpet in some areas smelled like pee and didn’t look like they have been cleaned in many years
— super dark
If I knew I would be reviewing it I would have taken more pictures to prove my points. Please fix your out of order games, clean the carpets, disinfect the toys, toss out ruined toys, have more staff walk around, and figure out how to keep the food area much more appealing

The worst place ever! Just had my daughters 7^th birthday party there. Don’t even think about having your kids birthday party here. The service sucks, very unorganized. Your guests don’t even know where to find you. Nowhere to sit, and you only get the party room for 30min if your lucky. You pay for your kids to run around the place which you could do for a fraction of the price normally, without paying for the party! None of the arcade games work either. The place is run down and just flat out sucks, right down to the cake that was dry.

I hate this place. The one in Kenilworth has a better set up. The videos game are out of order. They give you such little tickets for cheap prizes. They charge you an entrance fee. They definitely need to spruce up the place. I only gave it 2 stars because the pizza is good

Your kids can have a lot of fun in all the different areas. This is probably for kids 10 and under.

we loved the Kidz Village!!! How many indoor playgrounds have a hair salon, grocery store, and movie theater?! Not just climbing nets and tunnels. Plus there are a few things for infants and non walking toddlers to enjoy. We had a great time. It smelled a little yucky but I am pretty sure it was just a recent accident by a patron because everything seemed very clean. Right off the exit so pretty convenient for road trips down NJ turnpike.

Came here once they first open. It’s a great open space when no one was around. My son and I were able to play without anyone there. 10:30 hit and here comes the madness Lol at least 2 parties were going on and here comes the kids. :). Thank god we were able to enjoy it before hand.
They mark your hand with a number to match your kid. And when u leave, you have to match the numbers together or they won’t let you out +1
The staff is friendly and they smile a lot
This place is good for under 7. After that the older kids just wreck the place. Play super hero or wrestle while the parents sit at the benches not really interacting with their kids Lol I saw 10 year olds get into the toddler cars and you can see the car wheel bending. Throwing the boxes of pretend food like it’s a weapon haha. My son almost got trampled on in the slide area…
So we just decided that it’s enough Lol time to go home.
Overall. Great place when it’s not packed. Possibly in a weekday. Or when everyone is back in school. Some of the equipment is out of order in the arcade. And in the school room. Need more ventilation in that place. Once those kids go into overdrive, you can smell it ;)

Great indoor playground. Lots of fun options. Large and very clean. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. My 3yo had a blast. You don’t pay for adults which is excellent. What a scam to pay for a kid and two parents elsewhere.

Saturday, April 25, 2015: Today, I had a birthday party for my 2 year old son. Kids Village is a bit expensive but like others said, worth every penny. They setup and cleaned up which allowed me to enjoy my son’s birthday. I wish we could’ve had more time in the party room but overall he and all the children (2 – 9) had a blast. The children don’t have to leave once the party is over so we did not feel rushed (although we did leave shortly after) and the hostess was very sweet. We will be booking his 3 year old birthday party here as well.

Better for kids 6 and under, reasonably priced, kids had a great time in the climbing thing, not much for my 7 year old. Food was not expensive, but also not good. I would eat before going, if we ever went back.

I have been bringing my kids here for the past couple of years. It is a great place to go during colder weather or when it’s too hot and let the kids burn off energy. Lots of fun for toddlers and slighter older kids. I was gifted the Stay at Home Mom package which gives me a discount on 2.5yo when we go. The staff has always been courteous and I honestly am happy with their facility. I’ve been there on a weekend ONCE and agree that it is packed on weekends but that’s a given. What child friendly place wouldn’t be? –Lydia

I wouldn’t make an effort to come back to this place. It was so packed I believe they had about five parties going on at the same time. Parking was hard to find and once we got inside the place was crawling with kids (and adults) yeah yeah ok I get it it’s KIDZ village but maybe don’t book so many parties at the same time so the non party goers might be able to enjoy themselves? Just a thought. This place was a mess. Half of the machines were out of order and the «stations» we’re filthy with all the toys thrown on the floor. If you want to rake in the cash and book five million parties in one day then hire more staff to make sure your areas are tidy because naturally the increase in traffic will cause these areas to explode with mess quickly.

Worst place to have a party. When we finally got into our room they had the pizza waiting for the kids but then the host had them rush to eat. She would say something like whose five ok take five big bites of pizza. And was like ok hurry hurry eat quick. Then after kids scarfed down two slices and drink they played the party games where she had them dance to music they were instructed to put hands up and touch toes and played tag. Bad combination. Just as i figured one of the kids threw up all over the place. Which it was so busy we did not even get another room they just had us leave out the party room. Great idea just poorly executed. Young children should be given enough time to properly (and safely) eat and not rushed and asked to jump around. The whole thing felt rushed. The play area was stuffy and it aggravated my asthma. I went into the pizza area to catch my breath but was on my pump most of the night

We had my 5 yr. old daughter’s birthday party here, got the Mayor package (I think that was the name at $ 400). It was a little expensive, but well worth it. The staff was top notch in setting-​up and entertaining the kids. We didn’t have to lift a finger, as they took care of all our needs. The facility is very clean and has plenty of things to do to keep your child entertained all day. My 9 year old daughter’s favorite part was what I call the «habitrail» area. The kids can’t wait to return and I am sure we will!

This place is absolutely adorable for toddler age kids mostly but I’m sure any age child will have a blast. It really is a kids village, where every room is a pretend station for the kids to play. A hair salon, movie theater, house, tool shed, grocery store & more. Every kid was having a blast especially at the playground area and arcade & this castle designed area where you shoot foam balls at each other. My nephew’s second birthday was held there today & the entertainment in the kids room supplied with cake, pizza & soda was entertaining. They all enjoyed. Us adults really enjoyed the wings, & the teriyaki sauce on the side lololol… but anyhoo, make sure you take your little boy or girl here, maybe even for a whole morning & afternoon, they will have a great time. It almost makes me wish I was that little again. :0)

Had my 7 year olds birthday party here, he had the best time! He was greeted with a big happy birthday, all the employees made him feel so special!!! Food was surprisingly good, not the typical kids place food. Very clean, there is always someone walking around cleaning. I really likes that we got to celebrate in a private room not shared. Party host was sooo sweet, and was accommodating to all our needs. The play rooms were great. Kids were able to play in all the rooms. They really like the indoor playground. They made my sons day really special and they had a really great time! Highly recommend.

My daughter loves this place. We celebrated her 4^th Bday here and all our guests were appreciative of the venue.
The entry fee for child is around $ 12 and adults are free. There are rooms for kids to pretend and play, a section for arcade games and a play area. Weekends could get crowded at times, especially during Winter.
If parents want to take a break, relax and let their kids play in a safe, clean play area, Kidz Village is a good choice.

Sometimes I use provocative parenting techniques in public places because I want other people to think of me as a devil-​may-​care, freewheeling father figure. I want other dads to know that I’m cool — and I want other moms to know that I’m a little bit dangerous and I like to have a good time. You know? I want the other moms to think «I desire his genetic traits more than those of my own sickly, ignorant husband.»
Thus, in the Nerf-​ball-​airgun-​batting-​cage-​like area of Kidz Village, I set my 9-​month-​old daughter down across the room and began firing at her. On the one hand, it was adrenaline-​fueled fun for my infant daughter as she tried in vain to dodge the shots I was making with sniper-​esque precision. But on the other hand, it must have appeared to fellow parents and passersby like I was engaging in dangerous, borderline abusive play with my baby girl. To those meek helicopter parents I say this: My daughters are going to own your kids in every single conceivable way when they get older, and it will result in lives replete with shame, sadness, and low self-​esteem for your doomed children as they watch with jealousy as my girls live out all of their most spectacular dreams.
Kidz Village is in a really shady-​looking neighborhood. I think it might be a site for a money-​laundering scheme. But it’s a great place to take your kids for some no-​holds-​barred playtime.

Be very careful at this location. It’s one of these HUGE kids’ indoor playgrounds where you can spend an afternoon and have birthday parties. The neighborhood should have tipped me off. I had my son’s party there last month and I had my coat stolen. When we alerted the owner, she tried to make me feel like it was my fault for wearing a nice coat. She was unsympathetic, although she did manage to look through the camera footage. Her first comment was «there’s the sign that you bring things at your own risk» and her second comment was that she wore a $ 20 coat!
when I asked her to give me a partial refund off my son’s $ 600+ party she offered me 3 additional entries to that location at her cost… Why so I can have my purse, cellphone and car stolen? I don’t think so.
In addition, I don’t appreciate that she had my previous post and that of my husband removed from Unilocal.Do the right thing.
