βItβs the second time weβve celebrated a birthday at Gaga Center. The first was for our eldest daughterβs 12th birthday, and now for our youngest daughterβs 9th. The experience couldnβt have been better. The entire team is extremely well-trained and organized, and the party runs perfectly. Everyone had an amazing time. The feedback from parents was that it was the best party their kids had ever attended. Marcy is impeccable-she responds to all emails promptly and is always willing to help. She went above and beyond to promote us the best experience of all. Weβve celebrated at several places in Manhattan, but without a doubt, Gaga Center is my number one recommendation for parties for all ages!β

βI cannot say enough good things about The Gaga Center! I booked a birthday party for my soon-to-be 7 year old son at The Gaga Center, sight unseen (which made me nervous). Marcy, one of the owners, calmed my nerves immediately, she was so nice and helpful. Cut to the party itself (!) it was a HUGE success! The staff handled everything - including 33 extremely excited seven years olds - and it all went super smoothly and everyone - grown-ups (who at the end also got to play) included - had such a blast!! It was the talk of my sonβs class even the next day at school. Do not hesitate booking your childβs birthday party here, you will not regret it!β

βJust wanted to say thank you for a great party. Your team is amazing and they know how to run a party like a well oiled machine. They were awesome with set up, problem solving (when the platter arrived smashed), running the games, serving, and ending the party on time without everyone feeling rushed. You have a great group there. The kids really enjoyed the silent disco add on β¦especially the kids who got out of the game pretty early. They commented that it gave them something fun to do instead of just watching. It was a hit!β
