The staff there is VERY rude and unprofessional. I have been there many times and will not be going back. I thought maybe I just was there on an off day for the staff so I kept going back thinking it would be better but not so. Even the manager was RUDE! Don't waste your money for a flash back.....

We went to Just Your Party for a birthday party. This is one of the best places fro kids. Even adults can have fun with the climb rock. I'll definitely recommend this place. Staff is good and very helpful.
