Five stars all around. The team made it incredibly easy for us to host our 3 year old’s birthday party from set up, to decorations, to cleanup. Can’t thank them enough and will definitely be back for other celebrations.

We had an amazing birthday experience for our daughter at Golden Minds. The play space (and rest of the facility) was so well organized, clean, and spacious. The team was also so nice and helpful. It's so rare to find a venue like this where you have private access to the whole venue - it makes it feel so personal and much more relaxed than the other big party places nearby that feel like overstimulating birthday factories. I received so many rave reviews from guests (parents) who were so impressed with Golden Minds. And the value really cannot be beat in Manhattan!

I had the best experience working with Golden Minds. They literally handled every single logistic from decorations to cutting the cake. The children that attended had a blast along with the adults that attended as well. I highly, highly, highly recommend this place.

My daughter had her 5th birthday here. The staff and manager were amazing! They set everything up and clean up everything at the end. Everything was super clean and welcoming. We arrived 1 hour before thinking we had to decorate too but no, the staff had everything set up and even put out all the food. They cut and served the cake as well as the pizza for the kids. Bounce house was included and had face painting as an add-on. The parents were able to relax and mingle while the kids played in the play area by themselves. I recommend this place and option for your next kids birthday party. Thank you again Goldenminds Prep!

I've not only made use of the playground on the weekends, but we also threw my son's 2nd birthday party there and the team did an amazing job setting up and taking care of us throughout the party - it was wonderful to just be able to relax and enjoy my time with guests, as they handled all the small details. We also had a bubble show, which was a great addition to the day. My son still asks daily to watch videos from his birthday party, as it obviously left a lasting impression on him, and we received so many complements from attendees whose children couldn't stop talking about the party for days after. I would definitely recommend this location both for a weekend playdate or a birthday party!
