Alena B
★★★★★2 months agoThis margin was super interactive & very colorful. My favorite was the pink & blue dotted room where they toss the tissue all around and you wear a decorative matching kimono. I also really liked the neon maze room. All of the different rooms had unique characteristics and super unique. Highly recommend coming here. Family friendly & great for adults too!!!
