We had our son’s birthday here, it was the best birthday experience ever ! The stress of not having to decorate, set up and coordinate everything was amazing. This was the best place with lots of toddlers for them to get all of their energy out. We will definitely be having all of our kids birthday parties here ! The staff was amazing, kind and helpful in all ways! Inside was clean and so cute. We just moved down to Olympia, I googled “birthday venues for four year old boy” and this is what popped up, I booked and so happy we did!

After my daughter turned 1, my husband and I signed her up to attend TLG as soon as they opened. She was placed in their "Birds" class. She wasn't walking yet in her first class, but after seeing all the other kids walking on their own, it seemed to have motivated her because by the time her second class rolled around, she was also walking beside them. Ten months later, she's moved up to their "Beasts" class. She is learning/copying what the other kids do while at the same time, becoming more independent, taking risks at the bigger obstacles, and most of all, just having a blast exploring everything to her little heart's content. There is never a dull moment at TLG and the owners/staff are all very kind and caring. The facility is clean and well maintained, including their bathrooms. I definitely recommend this place if you have kids that have extra energy to burn, want to expose them to more social events with kids their age, or just want them to have a fun activity outside of the house. You will not be disappointed and your kid/s will thank you for it. Stop hesitating and sign them up! Shout out to Tim, Tiffany, and my daughter's coach, Marina. You guys are the BEST! 🥰

We signed our daughter up and she absolutely loves it !!! George is very informative and helpful. They have plenty of teachers so kids actually get 1 on 1 time. Definitely bring your kids here !!

Both of our sons have taken classes here and they really love it. We have been part of Funny Bugs, Giggle Worms and Good Friends programs over the last 4 years. The instructors are kind, patient, funny and they do a great job of adjusting the activities based on a child's skill level. The classes are very engaging and our boys never get bored. Bonus is that I usually end up having a chat with other parents in the viewing area, but it's also a nice spot to watch your kids having fun, or catch up on reading or work or whatever . Highly recommended, thanks Maple Leaf Little Gym team!

We took the first class for a $1 to try it out and we could tell she was enjoying herself. After class she said she couldn’t wait for next class with her new friends. We knew immediately we had to sign her up. I love the convenience of making up a class when life interrupts, and how friendly all the staff are in this location. We recently celebrated her birthday here with some family and school friends. All the kids had a wonderful time. It was great how I didn’t have to do anything but bring a cake. As a member you also get discounts for some camps or special events 👍

I’ve never been to a little gym before, but we booked a birthday party for my daughter(4) since she wanted a gymnastics party. It was hands down the best experience ever! The process was simple and the coaches were absolutely outstanding!!! I did the theme package and it literally took off so much stress from party planning. They did everything, we showed up day of with cupcakes and goody bags and they did the rest. Highly recommend!!
