Tree Paad

A few weeks ago we visited Tree Paad in Malta for the first time and LOVED it. The place came highly recommended by a friend of mine. My daughter had so much fun there. She was a bit disappointed that she couldn't go on all the stuff. They had gates up on the bouncy Colesium and the spiderzone so she thought they were closed- really it cost extra to go on it, and we weren't paying, so we let her believe they were closed. It really should be pay one price go on all. My only complaint was the food was a little pricey and really not that great. However, she had a lot of fun, we stayed for hours, even my youngest was able to play a bit.
Because she had so much fun we took her and a friend there this past weekend. It was her best friend's birthday so we wanted to take them somewhere special.
We first took them to Hibachi in Malta (service there was unbelievable!! Best service I have ever had anywhere. They were super friendly to the children. Phenomenal!) which was not a big hit. If you have never taken your children to hibachi before, it may be a good idea to warn them about the fire before hand. My daughter's friend was petrified when they set the grill on fire and it took her until he was done cooking and we had started eating to fully recover.
After Hibachi we took them to Tree Paad. They were both disappointed they couldn't go on the above mentioned things (Colesium and spiderzone), my daughter more so. She even stood in line for the rock climbing wall until it was her turn and they told her she couldn't go on. They did love the tree fort though. They both had a blast, my daughter's friend more - she didn't want to leave.
We were thoroughly disappointed with the service there. Last time we went I read a sign that said no outside food except for birthday cake allowed. We brought a birthday cake for her friend's birthday and a present and called the girls over. My husband forgot the candle in the car so he went to ask the lady if they had an extra. She was very rude to him and told him that no outside food was allowed. He was in shock and said your really not going to let us sing to a five year old girl. She told him no to take the cake to the car immediately. She was so rude that my husband was upset, would not spend any more money there, and says we will never return. He said it wasn't even the fact we couldn't have the cake, it was the rude way she handled it.
Meanwhile there is a posted sign ten feet from this lady about birthday parties. It reads "No outside food allowed - except a cake."<- Quote taken from their site. My husband was infuriated by this. If you don't pay $239+ for their birthday party you can't bring your own cake. So now it's really just about money... sad...
