Kids Empire Evanston 1924 Dempster Street, Evanston, IL 60202

"UPDATE 2/25/24: I caved and came back to this location…and I’m glad I did. They cleaned and it looks great- thank you so much! There were a few parties going on and it was surprisingly staffed ok. I think I even saw a smile or two! Changed my rating from 1 to 4 stars."

"Oh my God I don’t believe myself that I drove one hour to see this bad place that African lady work on the cashier unprofessional. I use my card for one motorcycle and it is not working. It has no sign on. It says out of service. I want the cashier and ask her. Did they charge me for something that I don’t use and all she say is I’m done talking to you. Are you serious? I came here to spend my money with you so you can get paid and you don’t have time to explain it to me or say you sorry you don’t know it’s not working you go put the sign on it do not come to this place so Dairy"

"We are in love in this place! Lots of fun for kids seating area for parents is huge! Nice stuff also"

"How do you expect us to use Only sucks when your floor and everywhere is filth disgusting?! At the washrooms there’s no hand soap for weeks. You need to clean this place there are kids here!"

"My kids and I LOVE the music, concept, and layout of the play space BUT the employees need to vacuum and clean this place once in awhile. Ahem…like every day. As others have pointed out, there is visible dust, hair, and trash behind and on top of the structures. If it was cleaner I’d come here more often and give it a full 5 starts!! Get it together and this place could be AMAZING."
