"We had such a great party for my 7 year old’s 'All About Animals' birthday at Babler. We were so impressed with all that was provided and with the instructor leading the party. The timing was spot on, the activities were perfect for that age group and the instructor was so easy to work with and handled everything. The outdoor and indoor spaces for the party worked out well and had everything we needed. We valued getting the kids outside and interacting with nature in such a fun way. Thank you for a well thought out and executed party at a reasonable price! We will certainly be recommending Babler OEC and will likely be back for another party in the future with one of our other children. One of the parents at the party said, 'This is the best birthday party we’ve been to!' and I agree!"
