jabbers

This small storefront business is a great place to take your kids when the weather is too hot/cold/wet etc., for outdoor play. There is a climbing gym, full-size playhouse, play market, a puppet theater, a dollhouse, and more. For the adults, there are large, comfy leather couches, and for everybody, there is a café with salads, hot and cold sandwiches, snacks and a wide variety of hot and cold beverages. The snacks include a number of healthy options like cheese sticks, fruit and yogurt. Less than $8 per child for an all-day pass; you can even leave and come back if you wish. We have never tried the food but the prices are very reasonable. The staff is friendly and helpful and the place is kept very clean (although occasionally cluttered, but hey, kids are playing!). They offer packages and multivisit passes and a punch card for free visits if you don't want one of the big passes.

Very clean, safe, and a wonderful friendly and helpful staff! Delicious and healthy food choices. LOVE THIS PLACE!!

Nice clean play areas and super friendly staff including the owner who was extremely friendly and willing to share how they got started. Did not see any huge child meltdowns or problems. Great atmosphere. They also have a wonderful little Cafe style menu with lots of healthy food choices and nicely priced with plenty of $1 snack options such as yogurt, carrots, apple sauce, and more. Clean bathrooms complete with sani-wipes and toddler seats the the toilets. Very kid friendly and recommended for a special occasion. I would consider the price a bit high for day to day entertainment but we will be back!

This place is a huge rip off. It is just way too expensive. You can go elsewhere with your money and your child will have a better time. Nobody watches their kids. It's nuts.

Jabbers has a wide variety of options for kids: climbing equipment, a "grocery store," a "kitchen," and plenty more. On a cold or rainy day especially, it is a great place for kids to run and play and it is the only option of its kind in Nampa. It is a bit too spendy for a short period of time, but if you have 2-3 hours or more it is well worth it. Your child won't want to leave in less than two hours anyway! I am concerned about security, though, as it is possible for children to leave the play area and go out to the public area. Although there is a "locked" dutch door, it is easy for a child to open. If it were not for that I would rate it higher.

They have a pretend house room that reminds me of an IKEA room... but with pretend play in mind. Also here is an arts room, go kart track for preschool cars, a climbing play area, and a pretend store. You can grab lunch at their relatively healthy snack bar. Mainly it is salads and sandwiches but they are pretty tasty. All in all.... a nice reprieve for the little ones to get their wiggles out.

Jabbers is the best play place to go. I take my daycare kids there and they love it. They have great food and awesome coffee. They owners and their employees are the BEST.

This is such a great way to give the grandkids an exciting, fun outing, while we choose the many options for adults. 1. is to play with our grandson, 2. We can have a nice lunch that is healthy and made fresh on the spot, 3. We can lounge on a comfortable couch and read or just rest, and 5. we can, and do often meet new people. The best deal is the annual pass, and for grand parents of little ones, the visit to Jabbers has become a great tradition that our grandson talks about often and can't wait to go to.

I have used this as a spot to get some work done via wireless while the kids play. It cost money, but is a nice place.

we took our 5 small grand kids there, (all under the age of 6) on one of those days the weather was too cold to go to the park to play. We had never been there but had heard about it from some friends. They have a family pass deal that we were able to use as all the kids were related and it was so great. The kids went wild. There are jungle gyms for them to climb on, puzzles, little kitchens, stores, house, great learning and play stuff. The adults had fun watching and the men hung out with their laptops as there is free wifi, finally this grandma and the mummys got to relax with a great cuppa while the men chased the kids and grand kids around. No one was bored...not even the men. Great time had by all. they do have food to buy there and there was a birthday party going on while we were there which they have a seperate room for the partys. Great value and fun for all.
