[Sabah Shehabudheen](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113259912885614053119/reviews) ★★★★★

We visited Hullabaloo today for Take Flight, and once again had a wonderful experience. We’ve been to Hullabaloo several times before, and it’s always one of our favourite places to visit with our son. Take Flight was beautifully done, engaging, imaginative, and perfectly suited to little ones. Our son was completely captivated throughout the performance and absolutely loved the interactive play session afterwards. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming, making us feel at ease from the moment we arrived. It’s clear how much care and thought goes into creating these experiences for children and their families. Hullabaloo consistently puts on fantastic events and shows for babies and young children, and we’re so grateful to have a venue like this in our community. We always leave with happy memories and look forward to coming back again. Highly recommend to any family with little ones.

The venue is cosy and you feel very much part of the show. However, for a long show the seats become very uncomfortable and the air conditioning makes the place cold. On a positive note, the staff are friendly and welcoming. The ladies toilets are equipped for children to use independently as they have child toilet seats and sinks that are child height. It's been very well thought out. I'd definitely be happy to visit again but would arm myself with a cushion and layers of clothing.
