I took my nieces (10) as part of a girls night and they LOVED it!! They got to run an obstacle course and hit ipad stations throughout to learn. NUTS uploaded content based on their language and grade, it was amazing!!
I would highly recommend this place! If you want to stay fit and have fun learning at the same time!

I was greeted by many staff members with a very positive welcome! NUTS is very clean and organized. The wide open surroundings allow you to see the entire area and see how much fun the kids are having.

It was a work team building activity. The first part of the activity, divided into groups was OK, but when time came to do the obstacle course, the IPads were not working properly, and I did not feel safe on the structures.
When you walk in, you feel you are waking into a warehouse. Not welcoming at all.

Good morning Norm,
I am very sorry you had a poor experience in our facility. Let me assure you that we are currently in the process of obtaining comfortable seating booths for our clients and our water fountain is on order.
Please note that we have only been open since May 2017, so our facility is still a work in progress.
I hope we can make it up to you next time you drop in!

We LOVE this place!! My kids go nuts for N.U.T.S.! We've done a few regular visits and a week at camp, and both of my kids (daughter, age 11, and son, age 8) had a great time. The combination of challenging and fun obstacles and interactive trivia is winning! We'll be back many more times for sure, you can count on that!

When I went to visit Hi Nugyen at N.U.T.S based on a recommendation from a friend of mine, I was amazed at how they combine physical activity with learning. The obstacle course is well laid out and takes approximately thirty minutes to get through.
I was so impressed that I told a number of my friends who are teachers to check out N.U.T.S as a possible fun learning experience for their students. I highly recommend N.U.T.S not only to families looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon, but to all teachers out there looking for a way to engage their students in a non-classroom environment.

Having met the Owner Hi (pronounce 'High') a few months ago and building trust and confidence in Hi and his team, I have referred my neighbours to go and check out his business space with their kids!
I also referred a neighbour who coaches his kids baseball team .. imagine the ball team running obstacles AND answering ball related questions on the iPads in between the obstacle course! So cool .
Thanks Hi for such a unique experience for young and old alike with a focus on integrity and trust!

We stopped in to check out the location. Though we had to wait a few minutes to speak with the owner Hi Nguyen, we had a comfortable table to sit at with some challenging puzzles. Both my daughters, aged 13 and 16 watched 2 much younger girls run the course. When it was our turn, the girls had a blast and proved Hi's philosophy - the brain works better when the body is working harder! The girls REALLY enjoyed it. They only did 1 round. Hi told me they were planning for a bachelorette party on the site that evening.
He explained how his facility/ gear can be moved and catered off site. Trying to think of ways to use his company!!!
TRY IT OUT now! Fun for all ages. Great model to use a lot of "recycled" material. (LOVED the medicine ball return!)
