As kids get older, finding something for them to do to celebrate their birthday’s with their friends, gets harder & harder!
Play It Loud, in Woodland Hills is an amazing place! The large swanky club environment is filled with positive energy, music and fun. Kids, big and small, can play the most current virtual reality games on Xbox and PlayStation. Different groups may gather in the theater or in the lounge. Private suites provide the opportunity to play interactive games like Just Dance, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Sports Games and more! Whether celebrating a birthday or just want to drop off for open play(check website for times available and Friday night parents night out), Play It Loud IS the place to be! I HIGHLY recommend – be sure to check it out. My boys LOVE it!
