My son loves coming here to climb, but this was the first time we came as a birthday party guest. The staff seemed overwhelmed and rude at every bend. Every aspect of this establishment needs a complete overhaul, starting with the management. Upon entering through the doors, it’s quite clear that the rugs by the counter have not been vacuumed for a really long time. The smell in the cave system was a deplorable combination of feet, sweat and dust. The bathrooms on the party room floor were completely out of service and there was a pungent smell of raw sewage as we were leaving. It’s difficult for me to believe that there weren’t numerous health and safety violations from that alone, but wait.. there’s more.. the family bathroom on the main floor had a non-working kids toilet and a missing faucet handle on one of the sinks. We were a party of 11 children and 11 adults and the quality of the service and food was far beyond sub standard . Not only was the pizza undercooked and tasteless, the chicken wings were pink and slimy. This is unacceptable, it’s dangerous, and could seriously put someone’s health at risk. We asked for ranch dressing, and without hesitation, we were given a used bottle of ranch that looked like it had been passed around from party to party. These children, who are employed here, have clearly not been properly trained on food safety and cross-contamination. When we complained, the host acted as if she was doing us a favor. When we proceeded to involve the manager, she offered us excuses along with $60 discount from our $700 bill. She also made sure that we understood , that the party host is the one responsible for preparing the food.. what??? Why?? My friend had us all leave and go to a different restaurant since we and the children were all still hungry.

I recently took my son to Funtopia and it was an absolute blast! The facility was clean, well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The highlight of our visit was definitely the rock climbing wall. My son is an avid climber and he was blown away by the variety of routes and the challenge of the wall. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, offering tips and encouragement throughout the climb. In addition to the rock climbing, there was a range of other fun activities for kids of all ages. My son loved the trampoline park and the obstacle course, and I was happy to see that there were plenty of games and activities designed for younger children as well. Overall, I had a great experience at Funtopia Glenview and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, active, and safe place for kids to play. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great time, and I can't wait to go back again!

Went here for a birthday party so can't speak on the price. I will say, it was fun enough that I'd recommend it and look forward to coming back. It's pretty much a rock climbing place with different themed walls. Think castle, beanstalk, volcano, and more. Probably best for kids 8± who are already big climbers. The quality of the equipment all looked top notch. My only two issues were the staffing and the use of the harnesses. There weren't many staff members so when I had a question it could take a bit to find someone. The harnesses would click in fine, but removing the key took a lot of work.

My daughter loves this place and almost all the birthdays parties for her friends are usually here so we are a regular. She always have fun, even in the busy days. I think lately this place lacks on maintenance, the upper level superficies are with a lot of dusk and spiderwebs. Also there is a lot of garbage behind the playground where some kids usually came out from the back. For being a place with that many children and many kids maybe thinking about cleaning should be done more often. The vent that you are able to see is filled with dusk. Also there is not system to control children coming in and out, anyone can easily come in there is not one at the door, other than getting an sticker for your party, so no too secure. Other than that the parties are always easy to do.
