My husband and I was very excited to celebrate our daughter's 1st Birthday party here. Her party theme was Minnie mouse. The Service was amazing and they answered everything I needed and responded right away. Staff was very helpful and understanding with planning, as well as the host at the party. They were very nice and helpful. This is a Nice, Clean establishment for kids to play and explore in different areas. The decoration set up was exactly how I envisioned it for the party. All the kiddos was enjoying themselves so much 2 hours flew by so fast, they wanted to stay and play. All the parents enjoyed it as well. Highly recommend for parties, or just weekday play. Thanks so much Bug and goose!!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with babies and toddlers up to age 3. The open layout is the defining advantage for parents managing multiple young children. Older children (5+) are likely to find the equipment understimulating. The 90-minute session cap suits nap-schedule families who prefer a set timeframe.

“Bug and Goose is a very fun indoor playroom. It's especially good for toddlers. I love the open design and visibly. That way, I can keep an eye on my 3 year old while chasing my 1 year old. It generally has a calmer atmosphere than the other local playroom. However, older kids might find it boring.”

“I took my 18‑month‑old to this play café, and overall it was just okay. The play area was clean and had some cute spots for toddlers, but the visit felt a bit pricey for what you get. Reservations aren’t required but are recommended, and each session is limited to 90 minutes — which feels short when you’re trying to get a little one settled. The café serves Colectivo coffee, which is nice, but the food was pretty generic and mostly Costco‑type items. A single banana cost $1.09, and no outside food or drinks are allowed. It was also quite cold inside, so we kept our coats on most of the time. 50/50 on us going back.”
