From the reviews
We just had the most wonderful party experience for my 8 year old. The party package was reasonably priced, our party just — Max — took great care of us, and everyone had so much fun! Everyone at Kristoff’s was friendly and let the kids be kids and the adults actually got to have some fun, too.
I cannot rave enough about this place - I have never set foot here and booked my kids 6th bday party - it was too easy!!! The staff was so kind to answer my questions (and then answer them again as the date approached and I forgot some of the information).
We were very happy with the birthday bash that we held at Kristoff’s, for our 8yr old. The gentlemen who ran the festivities were very attentive, and essentially ran the event with precision timing. All of the children had a great time!
My husband have been customers at Kristof's of over a decade now, but yesterday was the first time we hosted a party there and WOW we are so happy. Maxwell memorized all the kids names, was extremely attentive, and the this Momma was not stressed at all.
