The Best Kids Party Ever

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 01:29:00 GMT

Memories of our early childhood can be really fuzzy. They are sporadic flashes of moments, both joyous and sorrowful, that defined who we were and the type of people we would become. Every parent wants to create the happiest memories possible for their children, and one of the best ways to form these memories is to create events that break the chain of normal activity. This can come in the form vacations, visits from family, or a kid’s favorite, a birthday party.

There are a lot of different options to choose from when it comes to a kid’s party, but a party at Playwerx can be fun on a whole other level. Joy for children often exists solely in the physical realm. Some of our greatest early memories come from activities like jumping, running, climbing trees and exploring the environment. Playwerx allows for that level of activity in a fun and safe indoor place where kids can just act like kids.

Sometimes it’s hard to remember as an adult, but some of the greatest times we have as kids come from exploring structurally complicated places. Things like funhouses, haunted houses, jungle gyms and tree covered creeks remain some of the most fun places to explore. Playwerx has created a similar type of environment where kids at the party can explore mazes, slides and ball pits to their hearts content and form memories that will last a lifetime.

Back-to-School!

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 21:25:00 GMT

Kids in the communities of Carlsbad, San Marcos, Oceanside, Vista and other San Diego neighborhoods are back at school. During the first couple of weeks parents are often filled with a sense of relief and a bit of anxiety as well. Children feel this excitement and stress, too.

The first weeks of school can be tough as routines are put back in place; kids adjust to early bed times, rushed mornings and packed schedules.

Amidst all of these changes, remember to include some downtime as well. Give your kids a reward and a break from the daily schedule by including some playtime and an opportunity to burn off energy they may not have had a chance to do during the school day.

Playwerx Carlsbad is the perfect venue for some after-school fun and exercise while at the same time providing downtime for Mom or Dad. Parents can sit on a leather couch, sip some great coffee, browse grown-up magazines, and access free WIFI while their kids run through our multi-level play structure.

As a back to school special, PlayWerx will have “Happy Hour in September”. Visit us during the last business hour of any day during the month of September and your admission is 50% off. That means you can come Tues-Friday from 5-6pm, Saturday from 6-7pm or Sunday from 5-6pm for 50% off regular admission price!

{A happy, active kid at Playwerx!}

These days, it is all too common for children to spend hours playing on their iPad or laptop, which is why active play and physical exercise are so important! As parents ourselves, we know that there are days when your kids need an active play alternative, and that is why we provide a safe indoor play center that parents love, too!

While regular physical activity is good for everyone, it is vital for healthy growth and development of babies and young children. According to Kids at Play, the government website promoting healthy eating and active play, regular physical activity is important for maintaining good health, enhancing social skills and self-confidence and preventing the development of poor health or health risk factors.

Regular physical activity across the lifespan has shown the following proven benefits:

· Healthy weight management

· Increased movement, coordination, balance and reaction time

· Healthy growth and development

· Building strong bones, muscles and hearts

· Acquisition of fundamental motor skills

· Prevention of Type II diabetes

· Prevention of cardiovascular disease

· Prevention of some forms of cancer
