Queen (or King) for a Day

Despite our rather volatile economy, all signs point to the fact that parents are still seeking fun family outings as well as great places to throw birthday parties for their children. In that vein, a new place has opened up in Burbank, sure to give Chuck E. Cheese a run for the money.

Associate Editor Ronna Mandel scouted out the press preview of Kids Castle for L.A. Parent. Here's her report:
While there may be no moat to cross upon entering Kids Castle in Burbank, you'll find everything a child – let me rephrase that – an entire family could wish for.

On Tuesday I attended a media preview of L.A.'s newest family entertainment center opening this Sunday, Dec. 7 (on opening day, a portion of all dine-in sales will benefit the Burbank Boys & Girls Club).

Picture Dave & Buster's with all the pros and none of the cons, toss in an amazing and delicious assortment of affordable food, family-friendly décor (check out the fabulous dragon murals) and a staff dedicated to customer service, and you have a guaranteed great day or evening outing suitable for any demanding monarch.

Families get the royal treatment here whether they come to dine and play games or throw a birthday bash or family reunion in one of the three beautifully appointed party rooms that can hold up to 40 people each.

Other attractions include the Dragon's Den (a 600-square-foot indoor soft playport), the Wizard's Wild Ride (an indoor Himalaya amusement ride), a Build-a-Buddy stuffed animal station (a family favorite) and some pretty good redemption prizes.

Finding out there's free Wi-Fi on premises clinched it for me. My teen, the princess, can sit on her iPhone and keep in touch with her realm while my husband, the king, can bring his laptop. As queen supreme, I can play with my little prince on the cool Deal or No Deal electronic game ‘til kingdom come. And you can be your family's knight in shining armor if you treat them to an outing at this new royal attraction!

      Kids Castle is at 2814 Empire Ave. in Burbank. Phone is 818-565-5552. Hours are 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily. Tiara for the day not included.
