‘We organised our son’s 4th birthday party at the National Army Museum and we loved it. Organisation is excellent and everything ran smoothly. Kids have great fun in the Play Base and love the party setup that follows. I highly recommend it. We attended other kids' parties there too and we always had a great time.’Testimonial — September 2024
