Is CAMP Worth It?

CAMP is a family-oriented retail store that offers ticketed family experiences for kids ages 2–10 with 11 locations across the US. Tickets range from $14 to $42 per person, depending on location and day of the week, and cover entry to a fully built immersive world — currently featuring Bluey, Gabby's Dollhouse, PAW Patrol, and Peppa Pig. Activities like slime-making and crafts are available as add-ons. Most families spend 1.5 to 2 hours.

What You Pay

Ticket prices vary by location and day. Weekday tickets start lower; weekend tickets run higher. Prices shift based on demand, so booking early usually gets you the best rate. Here's the current range at each location:

Activities are separate but can be bundled. The Slime Bar and Maker Studio are $25 per person purchased individually, or $20 per person when bundled with an experience ticket. The Splatter Room in Chicago is the same pricing; the blacklight Splatter Rooms in Miami and Minneapolis are $35 per person and don't apply to the craft pass. Character add-ons like themed ears are available for $14.50 during checkout. Merchandise is available in the store.

Prices subject to change at any time. Last updated April 6th, 2026.

What You Get

Your ticket covers entry to a fully built themed world — not a walk-through exhibit or a themed playground, but a complete environment built to be touched, explored, and played in at your own pace. CAMP Counselors are in the space running activities, engaging kids, and making every child feel like the star of the visit.

The store is free for all guests. No ticket required.

What makes CAMP worth it (And What to Know Going In)

The case for it: CAMP is about a one-hour experience with a lot packed in. Unlike a movie or a meal out, kids are active the whole time — building, crafting, exploring, and playing. CAMP Counselors handle the programming, so parents can focus on enjoying the moment with their kids. For the right age range (roughly 3–8), the engagement level is high. For families visiting a city, it's one of the best rainy-day or half-day options out there.

What to know going in: Tickets are per person, so for a family of four the cost adds up. Activities cost extra. If your kid is on the older end of the age range or has already visited this particular immersive experience, the novelty factor is lower. The store is a temptation budget line item.

The honest answer: For a family with kids in the 2–8 range visiting for the first time, CAMP consistently delivers. The combination of a built world, hands-on activities, and staff who are actually trained in child engagement is harder to find than it should be. Plus, CAMP offers a variety of activities, so depending on your child's interests, there is likely something they will gravitate towards in the store.

Slime Bar
The Slime Bar is exactly what it sounds like — and kids love it. Pick your colors, mix your slime, and walk out with something gloriously gooey. CAMP Counselors guide the whole process.

Make a Craft at the Maker Studio
The Maker Studio is CAMP's dedicated space for hands-on creating. Kids work with art, craft, and building materials — and walk out with something they made themselves. Every session is different. Every creation goes home.

Blacklight Splatter Room
This is the activity that ends with paint on everything — in the best way. Kids gear up and go wild in a glowing, neon-lit room built for making a mess. Add it on and prepare for the best photos of the day.
Only available at CAMP Charlotte, Miami, and Minneapolis

Additional Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is CAMP worth it for a 2-year-old?

A: Yes, with adjusted expectations. Two-year-olds respond well to the sensory elements, the open space, and the CAMP Counselors. The sweet spot is 3–8, but younger kids have a genuinely good time — they just need a patient adult alongside them.

Q: Is CAMP worth it for older kids?

A: CAMP is designed for kids ages 2–10. Kids at the top of that range — particularly those who’ve already visited this particular experience — tend to get more out of the activity add-ons than the themed world itself. Bundling slime or crafts is a good call.

Q: Are tickets cheaper on weekdays?

A: Yes. Weekday tickets start meaningfully lower than weekend tickets at most locations. If your schedule allows, a weekday visit will cost less and typically mean shorter waits for activities.

Q: Can I just visit the store without buying tickets?

A: Yes. The store at every CAMP location is free to enter. No ticket required to browse and buy.

Q: Does CAMP offer any discounts or memberships?

A: CAMP runs offers and promotions throughout the year. There’s also Top Bunk — an annual membership available to all customers for $49/year. Members get access to premium perks and a few surprises.
