Imaginarium

“⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Magical, Must-See Immersive Experience for All Ages I took my granddaughter to this event in Lakewood, and from the moment we walked in, we were transported. The aesthetics are absolutely breathtaking—every detail is considered, from the stunning floral arrangements and balloons to the whimsical lighting. It's a visual feast and a perfect place to spark a child's imagination. The activities are the true highlight and are brilliantly designed. My granddaughter adored: · The Paper Lantern Station: Coloring a lantern, writing her name, and then watching it float on the water was magical. · The Digital Fish Pond: Coloring a paper fish, having it scanned, and then seeing her creation swim in a giant digital aquarium with other fish was incredibly cute and innovative. · The Balloon Room: A simple joy—a whole room full of balloons to play in. · Multiple Photo Ops: Beautiful, themed sets are placed throughout the entire venue, perfect for capturing memories. The experience flows beautifully between indoor and outdoor spaces (it feels like a transformed department store). Outside, the acrobatic and magic shows (like "The Great Lucy") were impressive, and the motorcycle cage act was a thrilling crowd-pleaser. There is truly something for everyone: kids, families, and even dates. ONE SIGNIFICANT DOWNSIDE: The Concession Prices. This is my only critique, but it's major. The greed is palpable. $8 for a small bag of popcorn and $6 for a tiny churro is not just "event pricing"—it's predatory, especially for families. I understand inflation, but this lacks basic business sense. At these prices, a family of four would spend **$24 on churros alone** and the kids would still be hungry. The result? Most people, including us, simply don't buy anything. If the items were even *slightly* more reasonable ($3-$4), families would buy multiples, kids would be happy, and the venue would actually make more money. This "skimping" on value leaves a bad taste and forces parents to say "no" constantly. Final Verdict: The event itself is a 10/10 for creativity, beauty, and fun. It's an unforgettable experience. Just be prepared: eat beforehand, bring snacks if allowed, and set firm expectations with the kids about the food prices. Don't let the concession greed overshadow the magic they've worked so hard to create everywhere else.”

“The Imaginarium was absolutely amazing!!! The price was very reasonable, and the entire experience was so much fun. The staff truly love what they do — they’re so friendly, welcoming, and you can tell they’re genuinely happy to be there. There are tons of photo ops everywhere you turn, a fun show at 8:00, and a balloon drop at 8:45. And the best part — a huge ball pit the size of a swimming pool! Such a unique and exciting place, perfect for all ages. Definitely worth visiting!”

“We had a great time. Super date friendly and family friendly. Nothing is real, so don’t go expecting real flowers only to leave disappointed. Outside left a bit to be desired but, overall, we thought it was cool for what it is. Some really thoughtful/neat designs.”

“Super cute place to go and worth the price. Was there for about 2 hrs and we had so many photos. Every step was new thing I wanted to photograph.”
