Math is hard – especially when there’s a line behind you and anxious kids on either side. We understand the pressure of standing at a counter and trying to determine whether it makes more sense to get a day pass or membership; therefore, we decided to make it easier for you to prepare and compare.

To help you figure out what works best for your family we broke down the cost of a single visit (for a family of 4 – two adults and two kids) and compared it to a monthly membership that is offered by most play cafes.

See how a monthly membership can work for you and enter to win UNLIMITED open play time at Troy Gymnastics for a month.
