Tagalongs Play Place Lake Hopatcong

Bizarre experience at a party we attended for a family friend's child. The most upsetting part of our experience had to be that the heat was broken in the party area. We were told that they'd "try to fix it" but at no point did the temperature in the room get above 57 degrees on a cold winter day (the lake was visibly frozen outside!) Many of the facilities were out of order including the bathroom, an aquarium area and the elevator. Many of the facilities inside the play area were broken and "repaired" haphazardly with duct tape. To get inside one must walk up two flights of these blue stairs surrounded by garbage. Some of the areas are put together in such a strange way as well. I have no pictures of the door mat randomly stapled to a hallway wall, but other reviews make mention of it as well. The photos attached to this review should speak for themselves. The children seemed to have fun which is the most important part I guess, but at an immense cost to the adults. The idea of this business is so cute but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. We left here cold, frustrated and confused.

This place is great for kids about 7 and under. They offer unlimited packages which is great for the winter months. The main play space offered climbing stuff and imaginative play. There are also additional rooms that offer some quieter experiences if the main room gets to be too much. We didn't have this problem on a weekday but I wanted to put it out there just in case. I've been to tons of indoor play spaces with my older kids and this is definitely top notch.

First time here I brought my 3 year old son to play indoors. The facility is very clean and well organized. It has 3 different areas snack room, sensory room and the large play area. I really enjoyed bringing my son here but I noticed that as soon as all kids left he was no longer interested in anything which is fine because every minute kids spend using their imagination away from screentime it's great. I will definitely be coming back with a bigger group so that everyone can play together. Pricing is great and having the benefit to to be able to leave and come back as you please it's even better.

The idea of this place is amazing and it probably was at some point. We went for my one year old's birthday, today. The "Cafe" had a Melissa and Doug pizza maker set, a pot and pan, 2 bowls with pretend Mac n cheese or cereal, and pretend cleaning supplies. No pretend food... No spoons or spatula to pretend to cook the non existent food. Salon was dirty and had a washer and dryer with nothing to play with. The Market was a few condiments and a basket of fruit. No shopping cart, bags, or groceries to play with. Vet clinic had a dog to wash and medicine for an animal. The police station had absolutely nothing to play with inside. The fire truck had an outfit. The boat had no fishing equipment. There was a pirate vest. The classroom had the most, it included a desk with 3 books, a clock and a shoe to tie, there was a puppet show box, and a magnetic letter board. The Lego wall had 20 Legos tops. The construction area was decent. Tools, balls, jumbo blocks and screws. The sensory room "calm down room" was a no entrance. The way to it was random things on the wall like a floor door mat. The sensory room has no paper to draw at the table, and the projector was broken. Doesn't look anything like the pictures. I was disappointed and it's a shame, thought the idea was great. Isn't anything like the pictures online. It was a weekend and only one other kid was there.

This place was really cool. We found it on Google maps . We were snowboarding at mountain creek staying in a ski on ski off air bnb. It was very rainy one day. We brought our 3 and 1 year Olds here on new years eve. They absolutely loved it.
