Rolling Robots

Cool place for kids to play around with remote controlled gadgets and gizmos and learn the basics of circuits and design fundamentals.
We came here for a birthday party. Not a huge place, but they do have a nice area for the festivities and for small group activities. Our activity was to build a simple robot. Kids got a chance to take apart a motor and wire to the appropriate power source. They also worked with small parts and screwdrivers. Overall a fun experience for our 6 yo.
It looks like they also have classes and competitions for the older kids. We had a great introduction into this robotics world and we’ll be looking in to classes and other educational offerings here.

Great great awesome place for kids. The young workers went out of there way to help with the bday party

Great place for child to learn about Minecraft, Video Game Design and Robots. My son can’t wait to go to his class every Sunday morning and it’s challenging to get him to leave three hours later.
My son has been utilizing the skills he has learned during the week. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I just held our son’s 8^th Birthday at the Palos Verdes location. He and his friends had a wonderful time. The staff was great at keeping all the kids engaged; they were so polite and patient with them. They took exceptional care in teaching them how to control the large robots in the competition arena as well as how to build their own to take home. The restaurant with whom they partner is really a step above what one would normally serve at a kids party. Overall, it was a great afternoon: kids were engaged, while the parents could chit-​chat; it was very educational; the staff was impeccable; all at a very reasonable price. I would totally do a party here again.

I had my sons 5^th birthday at Rolling Robots. It was a big success and I think considered pretty unique from the other parents. The kids built robots under instruction of the staff in uniform (box robots for toddlers, and actual remote little droids for the older kids), this was a big hit and the kids get to bring the robots home. There is also a large battlefield where the kids all control robots (different robots than those built) and make them run into each other — this was also a hit with the toddlers.
On the downside, the remote control robots are actually pretty difficult to control and so you sort of just hail-​mary instead of any «calculated attacks» as the Dads had hoped — which was a bummer. Also the staff was a little too «on it». I was constantly reminded of times, and schedules and asked if we were «having fun» from all sides — and to all parents — almost too often. Maybe it was misguided attempts to «connect» with the customers. But, that was my only complaint.
All in all, it was a great time. We had several compliments from parents and my son still talks about the experience and loves to read the robot book that came free with the robot he built.
So, if you are on the fence — I say «go for it». Your kid will love it.

These people are genius and know how to keep kids minds growing. I am sooo happy my son did the 1 week camp. Go you wont regret it!

I arranged to have a party here for my son’s 7^th birthday. We are here enjoying the party now. The manager and staff have done a great job with the party and the kids are having a great time. All the kids (boys and girls) enjoyed building robots and playing with them. It has been a perfect party for my son.

Had my son’s 6^th birthday in Palos Verdes location on February and he and his classmates loved it. Inquiring about the party was easy and the guys here were very helpful. First part of the party was playing with the robots while we waited for everyone to arrive. Next part was taking everyone to the party room where they built their robots. I forgot his name but the bald guy was the one leading the kids and the other staff were helping around the table as they built their creation. The bald guy was very entertaining and energetic. The children were 5 and 6 so it took them a while to build their «smart robot.» The birthday boy get to pick one kind of robot to build ahead of time. Last part was the food and cake! I was happy that they allowed us to bring any type of food. We also brought our own cake. They had pizzas there which was ok. After the kids ate, they played at the robots arena again. A great party overall :)

My 6.5 year old son LOVES the classes here! He goes 3 – 4 times a week on an open monthly pass and is bummed out that he can’t go on the weekend or his guitar class days. The teachers are awesome and give the kids as much direction they need to start their own projects and support to carry on. Best after school activity I’ve found for my son yet!

My son just had his 8 years old b-​day party there. He had a great time with his friends. The helpers there were wonderful, friendly, and experienced. They know exactly what to do with a group of energetic boys. I had a tough time finding the right place and activities for the b-​day party. Rolling Robots is just perfect. It is easy on the parents. They took care everything (food, cake, activities). The boys were well engaged the entire time. The cake was very good!
Thank you Rolling Robots!

I was trying to find a venue for my son who was turning 6. Everything in the South Bay had been done by us before and all of his friends: Kids Concepts, Chuck E. Cheese, My Gym, Scooter’s Jungle. I wanted something different and unique and found this place randomly by scouring the Internet. We stopped by for a visit and immediately booked the party! The guys in the store were so friendly and great with my boys.
We had the party a few weeks later and it was a HUGE HIT! The boys LOVED that they were able to take their robot home! One of my son’s friends said it was the best party he had ever been to. Another friend slept with his Smart Robot that night and even took it with him to Arizona when they visited relatives a month later!
The guys in the shop were great — helping the boys out each step of the way and keeping the energy and interest high! It was nice to have the whole place to ourselves and the separate room for food/​drinks was great. It was a very easy party! I was shocked that not more people knew about this place. Every single parent there commented on how great this place was and how they never even knew it was there.
The only thing I can say that could improve the service was if the guys could help out with bagging up the gifts and carrying out to my car at the end of the party. I know it’s a minor detail but when you’re trying to say good bye to everyone and hand out party favors to the guests, that little extra touch would have been nice. I know that at My Gym and Kids Concepts parties, the hosts do that for you.
Other than that, everything was absolutely perfect! I will definitely be recommending Rolling Robots to all of my friends! My boys want to attend the camps in the summer!

My son just had his 5^th birthday party at Rolling Robots and boy, it was a HUGE hit. The guys at RR were so awesome with kids and you can tell they just love building robots and entertaining kids. They made sure each and every child was attended to, specially the birthday boy. They always checked in with me through out the party to make sure everything was moving smoothly-​from robot building to food to cake to the pinatas. The kids & the dads had so much fun battling robots. Almost seemed like dads were enjoying it more than the kids! The robots the kids built was so cute. Even little girls had a lot of fun — they got to use screw drivers and power tools, how cool is that? :)
Thank you DJ, John and Jason for making this day so special for my son. You guys were truly wonderful!

I love these guys. My son had his birthday party at Rolling Robots this weekend, and he and his friends had the best time. The place combines everything that is great — an intellectually stimulating activity, great staff who obviously love kids, robots to play and battle with, and… being able to walk away from the mess that 15 kids made over the course of two-​plus hours. I would recommend them to anyone.

This place was awesome! I think as far as kids entertainment goes, you get what you pay for and this was moderately priced for a large group of kids that all want to build and battle robots.
I don’t know what Richard D. is complaining about. If you aren’t satisfied you can say something to the store and they’d probably fix the problem. Also, you aren’t paying for a toy, you are paying for the experience and the birthday party atmosphere and you get to take something home with you.
They do validate for party hosts (All-​day valet) which isn’t bad. I mean, you can’t expect a store to validate parking for 20 – 30 guests, I don’t think anyone does that.

This place is so cool! I’m so surprised that nobody reviewed this place yet. Totally love the battle arena with all the robots.
So each game is 1 min practice, which is where you try to familiarize with your controler (totally looks big, bulky, old school PS2). Then you get 5 mins to battle it out.
The pricing depends on which robots you decide you want to play with. The samurai looking ones are only $ 1. Totally cheap! But the best robots have a cool shield that goes up and down with the other arm having a totally cool weapon that swings around. and only $ 3 YES!
I didn’t know how to use the controller obviously so I spent most of the time going around and around and hitting the other robots then just trying to score the points, which is the point of this game. Very fun and cheap.
They also have a bunch of others toys and robots for you to buy. I saw one that was $ 230! No thanks. I’d rather battle the Decepticons in the arena.
