Testimonials
I wanted to thank you and your staff for making our son's birthday party last Saturday a true BLAST! It was fun and new for many! The children had so much fun and most importantly, the parents talked about it the next day! Many of the parents remembered what your facility in Mount Laurel used to be, and noted how much better, cleaner and more fun Kid Junction of Mount Laurel is. We really had SO much fun!.......KQ (NJ)
Excerpts from Mr. Gary Delena, Editor, NJENJOY.com - Featured Four Section, January 2009.
A typical suburban family with three children will throw approximately 39 “kid” parties during those formative years, before their idea of a party changes to something that involves jewelry, teen night at a club with a live band, or DJ. We all do this. We send out invites, prep the house, the yard, and warn the neighbors that two dozen screaming children will soon be invading our normally reserved tree-lined street. We make special note of alerting “get-off-my-lawn-guy,” because kids are like animals in the sense that can instinctively spot trouble… and run right to it.
Well wouldn’t you know someone went out and did it one better. Welcome to Kid Junction. Founded by two families from Branchburg with a combined six children between them (including a set of twins for each family), the Burkhardt’s and the Marchese’s were looking for something a tad better than Chuck Cheese and ”pin-the-tail-on-the-substitute teacher.” Combining their education and expertise in the areas of Early Childhood Education, Business and Psychology, and putting in two years of research (homework, there’s always homework!) they created a concept for a better venue, not only as a party destination, but also to provide New Jersey with an all-inclusive and creative play place. The success has become evident as they recently opened a second location. First of all, how can you not love a place that features a Kid Town which houses a pizzeria, animal hospital and costume shop for playing dress up? The more I saw of this place, the more I found myself asking, “Why weren’t you guys around when my kids were little”? (Of course, by the time I have grandchildren, Kid Junction will be a global brand with franchises in Portugal, Nepal and Alaska, where the many Palin toddlers will enjoy “Moose Madness Mondays”).
Kid Junction is what every new business in New Jersey should strive to be. Their involvement in the community encompasses the donation of free passes to their Reading Incentive Program along with books for needy children around the country. They are also a participant in United Way, offering broad discounts to thousands of United Way supporters. Their accolades include a Best of the Best Family Fun Center award in Central Jersey. Check out their website and take a look for yourself. Your kids will thank you. (But they still won’t clean their room).
We just wanted to say "thank you" to you and your staff for hosting such a wonderful 2nd Birthday Party for our son at Kid Junction of Mount Laurel. All of our guests had a fabulous time - it was truly a memorable event! Thank you!.......KS (NJ)

I signed my son up last week for a session of Play Away at Kid Junction, and all he has done since last Tuesday is beg me to go back and play with Matt. I was a little apprehensive, however, after his wonderful experience we will be back for many more Play Away's. Thanks so much........K.R. (NJ)

Excerpts from THE MOMMY'S REVIEW - by Lauryn Shapiro - c/o The Alternative Press
A bit of a trek, but this super-cute "kiddie-land" is worth the drive. From babies to 10 year olds, Kid Junction is a fun, clean, safe place to play and explore. The "just-big-enough" space is divided into various sections including an arcade, animal hospital, dress-up, supermarket, post office, and a "soft play area" filled with slides, tunnels and climbing galore. There is even a little "3 and under only" section so that the little guys can play without getting trampled. Fun, fun, fun! The KJ Café was a nice surprise - clean, fast and yummy (and even healthy!) choices for kids. An added bonus was the many hand sanitizer dispensers, for a quick and easy "hand wash" before eating. Perhaps the most impressive thing about this place was the safety features. Upon entering, parent and child are stamped with an ultra-violet number. Before leaving the locked exit, the child and parent are checked to ensure that the numbers match. Pretty smart! The admission ticket was a bargain in my book! Fun, fun, fun!
