She seemed to be implying that they dont like to waste anything. But if you have left overs of what kids have been putting their hands all over, dont u through at away anyhow? that part worried me. The thought of eating left-over pizza doughs from a previous party? We had asked them to bake the remaining pizza doughs (as they were paid for) and they made them for us. When they were done, the dough was basically raw. If a child had eaten it, they could have possible been food poisoned. What kind of customer service is that? All i know, is im not going back to that place. i went to this place recently and it seemed okay… at first. the facility itself seemed limited as there was not an area for dress up, or house. jus a slide and a bouncing castle. the party was a DIY pizza making for the kids. which was fine. there were about 22 doughs for the expected amount of kids. although only half showed up, we were interested in using the remainder of the pizza’s doughs, (as the parents was paying alot of money) the own told her they didnt want to waste anything (which is understandable)… but all the kids were putting thier hands in the bowl to get a dough… so dont you through it out after?

Bottom line if you care about giving people good service everything else will come later. And why haven't you reviewed Tumbles 'N" Toys, Jumperoos, Mega Fun 4 Kids, Enchanted Castle, Kids Zone, Airzone, seems you are always defending Creative play there are other play places out there, try them you might be surprised.

A couple of points of reply from me: -We've had several parties at Creative Play and haven't found it dirty at all; in fact, they've been more than helpful in making sure things worked out well. -Dark inside? Hmmm, with the lights on, it was just fine for us... Except when we asked for dimmed lights during a Halloween Birthday party we held there. -I find your comment that you think I'm a family member or was paid to post my review of Creative Play mildly insulting (even though I'm kind of thinking the same thing about you and Jumperoos) ... but to clear the air, I am not related to nor was I paid by Creative Play for any of my comments. This should be self evident by the number of good (and not so good) reviews I've already done for places all over Durham Region. -To end, the freedom of the Internet allows all points of view to be heard so for taking the time to post a comment, whatever your intentions may be, I thank you and wish you all the best! ID Wow Jen, that’s quite the comment…

A couple of points of reply from me:

-We’ve had several parties at Creative Play and haven’t found it dirty at all; in fact, they’ve been more than helpful in making sure things worked out well.

-Dark inside? Hmmm, with the lights on, it was just fine for us… Except when we asked for dimmed lights during a Halloween Birthday party we held there.

-I find your comment that you think I’m a family member or was paid to post my review of Creative Play mildly insulting (even though I’m kind of thinking the same thing about you and Jumperoos) … but to clear the air, I am not related to nor was I paid by Creative Play for any of my comments.

Creative Play only put a jumping castle because Jumperoos across the street has two BIG commercial ones that all the kids love. I find that Creative Play trys to copy all the other playgrounds around but they can't beat any of them. They also advertise that they are the biggest playground in DUrham but everyone knows thats a lie because there is a playground in Whitby called kids zone that is the oldest and biggest playgorund in Durham. Maybe if Creative Play would get their own ideas and not copy other playgrounds people would go their more. The price also went down to $5 because they were loosing business. Creative Play is in an industrial location and I find it to be really dark inside. A friend of mine had a birthday party at creative play and they said that they will never go back again. The owners are rude. I had my child's birthday at Jumperoos and I had great service and the owner was very helpful to the children/adults and to my grandma that uses a cane. You should look them up on google at jumperoos.com best place in durhm and they have arcade games, jumping castles and snacks. THey are really clean and pay attention to all the kids and adults that walk in. Creative Play already copyed them with the jumping castles what will they copy with next? Sometimes I wonder why they run a playground if they are liers and can't get their own ideas? THis ad was probably payed to post or by a family member. I don't think it was written by a walk in dad that just posted it because he wanted too.
