Great Play in Woodmere offers exciting new options for kids parties

Great Play! What more can a child want?

Woodmere’s new Great Play Interactive Gym for Kids is a present that keeps on giving.

There are fun-filled age-appropriate motor-skills-building activities throughout the year. Plus (and here’s the candle on the cake), it's a unique venue for exceptional birthday parties.

Custom-designed Great Play parties for children ages 1 through 10 are high-energy events at which the birthday boy or girl is the star of the show. And when it’s time for a nosh and cake, parents can select strictly kosher options.

The new Great Play, recently opened by Janet and David Shapiro, is conveniently located in the Key Food Shopping Center at North Central Avenue and Irving Place (so there’s plently of easy parking).

Parties are hosted in a patented Interactive Arena (where Great Play's gym activities keep kids hopping throughout the week). This venue, coupled with the Shapiros' exceptional commitment to the children, delivers a special party experience.

The party's activities — there's lots of movement! — take place in a sparking clean space enlived by computers controling eight projectors, a directional sound system, and over a dozen sensing systems.

There are several overall party themes, with each party customized activity-by-activity within those themes based on a child's interests (such as favorite sports or activities), personality (enjoys competition or not, likes being the center of attention or not), and the age range of attendees. Every party is unique to the birthday child’s interests and personality. 

Party times are limited (in the winter, to Sundays at 1, 3 and 5 pm; in the spring, adding Fridays 3:30 pm), so it's best to call for more info and availability as early as possible.
