Where do I start? I made a poor decision to have my daughter's birthday party at Urban Air Mansfield. We got there to be informed that I had no table or hostess listed but they'd check on it. I stood there with my things and party goers in tow for 15 minutes. Once seated it started well. Our party host was polite, bubbly and helpful. It' was about 30 minutes in that it got bad. My daughter and her friends we're jumping by the foam pit and they were approached by three girls approximate age was between 12 and 14. They told them to move then started cussing at the smaller girls pushing them and then one of the girls actually punched one of our partygoers in the shoulder. Needless to say my daughter and her friends are between the ages of 10 and 11. I know all of this because there were two of the mothers who witnessed it all and we're already speaking to a manager and another employee when I was called over. The person that was supposed to be the manager never said one word to me. The girl that worked there was actually arguing with the mothers and was very rude. Come to find out the girls that were cussing and hitting we're family to the girl that was yelling at the mothers. This all got bad very quickly. I told the manager I would like for the girls who did it to be removed and he would barely make eye contact with me. I try to calm the other mothers down and we went on with the party. About 15 minutes went by and the mother to the little girl who was hit, was still visibly upset. The manager, never came back to us so I walk up front to talk to him. He could barely look me in the eye and had barely two sentences to say. He said he told those girls to leave and that my "party host" who's 17 was supposed to tell me that. I asked him for his managers name so I could contact him, he came back with a first name email. After writing this gentleman and hear nothing back. I look up front and I see that he is sitting in front of a computer with about six kids standing around them. My party host told me that he should me operation managers phone number because he had just gotten off the phone with Him. So I walk up to get the number instead of email and he's looking at video footage On the computer right up front where everyone can see it. There are 6 other teenage employees standing over his shoulder watching the surveillance videos as well. One of them actually running her hands through his hair. Now remember this is a grown man and these are young teenagers. This was the strangest and weirdest situation I've ever seen. I was irritated, not going to lie, I believe any parent would've been. I asked him to please give me the phone number , He refused. And then I asked him to call the manager on his phone and he proceeded to tell me that was impossible because this is Dennis person never answered. I then told him that was a lie because our party host said he had just been on the phone with him earlier. The employee who smarted off to the other mothers jumps in and says "Hey lady he's trying to watch the video from earlier. " I looked at her and told her to please keep her mouth shut then I looked at him and said do you not find this at all odd? "He finally looks me in the eye and says hey you can't talk to her like that." Then tells me that he is going to call the police and have me escorted out. You have to understand there are other parents here and lots of witnesses, I can promise you I was never Irate, I never cussed, all I wanted to do was get this settled. I left and had to leave my daughters party 20 minutes before it was over all because the manager couldn't step away from his teenage friends to handle a serious assault issue. I'm appalled, I'm embarrassed, and I would never ever recommend anyone going to this place until there has been a complete overhaul of staff. One more thing, after I leave he sends over a teenage employee to ask my older daughter , who had to stay and finish everything, if I was going to pay for the rest of the party? Seriously? This place is a joke.
