Kidstock Creative Theater 50 Cross Street, Winchester, MA 01890

"Good report between teacher and kids. Kids obviously having fun, smiling and giggling, but also acting out their parts! Good experience."

"From scheduling to preparing to the party, this was a 10 out of 10 (as well as at a good price point compared to other venues we looked at)! Not only did my daughter have a blast, so did all of her friends - and their parents as they watched the cutest skits the kids were talked through. I cannot recommend Kidstock for a kiddo's birthday party highly enough. We will likely send our kid there for camp. Such a wonderful experience!"

"Edited: This edit is a long time coming; my apologies to the owner for not getting this out there sooner. But after hearing about my experience the owner of Kidstock! was incredibly accommodating, taking ownership of lapses in communication and working with me to find a resolution. While I am still surprised about the staff-to-child ratio and the fact that the staff do not remain with the kids for the entire party, I'm really satisfied with the way my issues were handled. Thanks, Kidstock! Original Post: Just had my daughter's eighth birthday here. A lot of great things, but also some surprising ones that I wish I'd known in advance! The good: - The party director helping us out was enthusiastic and full of energy! The kids loved him - The activities were fun and kept the kids engaged - The performance was adorable - The facility was clean and welcoming - perfect for a kid's party - The pizza was really good - delivered promptly and hot! - Working to coordinate was simple and seamless. The facility was prompt and responsive to emails. My daughter got sick the day before she was originally scheduled to have her party in December, and they were great about rescheduling for January. The not as good/surprising: - Our original headcount was 20, and there is an extra fee for parties larger than 12, which I had assumed was to pay for an additional assistant. However, there was only one party director caring for our party. Thankfully, we had a number of cancellations due to illness, so it was okay - but I am not sure that one person could have handled 20 kids. - After the performance, we were taken to the party room for pizza and cake. Once we got there we were told, "They're all yours for the next forty-five minutes," and the party director left us to serve the kids pizza and cake by ourselves. I was not expecting to have to entertain the kids for forty-five minutes on our own - at other facilities, the employees generally help with that! Not a huge problem; just a surprise to be thrust into action. - The original emails stated that goodie bags were included in the price. But when we got there the party director said, "There was no note that you ordered any." The email clearly stated they are included in the base fee and not an additional cost. A disappointment, as I would have prepared my own if I had known they wouldn't be provided. I felt bad that we had nothing to give the kids at the end! None of these are total deal breakers as my daughter and her friends had a blast - but these are things I wish I had known before booking my party. Hope it is helpful to others!"

"We had our 7 year old birthday party here. It was amazing!! We were communicated what to expect promptly. Everything was so well-planned. The show with 24 kids was fantastic. All the kids and parents loved it!! Highly recommend!!"

"I already knew Kidstock was great for summer camp and school vacation day camp, but they really knocked it out of the park with my 8 year old's birthday party. The party coordinator was communicative from day one, happy to answer all of my questions. The day of the birthday party, Kidstock took care of everything - setup, entertaining the kids and clean up. The kids really enjoyed putting on a performance together. I can't recommend Kidstock highly enough."
