I admit it. I'm not a fan of birthday parties at corporate locations. They're rushed, impersonal, and over-priced.
I've felt that way since the late 1970s when I attended a birthday party at a McDonald's for one of my second grade classmates. Jumpstreet certainly doesn't alter that opinion.
It smells like a gym. The psychadelic carpet hides stains (so I have no clue what is coming into contact with TheKiddo's bare feet), and pains the eyes. It's also scary to see the number of parents who lose track of their children. Not fun to watch them running around in a panic.
The music has been the one redeeming quality: Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin are the ones that stick out most.
All in all, I would much rather run around a park, a zoo, an arboretum, or even a museum. At the end of the day, it's not my party. And I'm glad to know I can rule out one more place for future parties.
