92NY

It's playtime! Ball pit, climbing maze, rings, tunnels, balance beams: the 92nd Street Y's indoor jungle gym has it all for the toddler or young child. I brought my 2-year old daughter here on a cold winter day and she absolutely enjoyed exploring all of the play equipment. Everything was so colorful, safe and enjoyable. There was plenty of adult staff spread throughout the play place to monitor each of the play sets. There were not too many children here when we visited: perhaps 12 at the most. I would definitely come back here for play time.

Attended the Wednesday night Israeli dancing for the second time in 30 years. It was wonderful to dance in a group in person I should come back more often! They have a special studio just for dancing. I emailed 92Y to make sure the session was still happening, after I had not been able to preregister for the session on their website. They answered promptly, and I did not have to preregister, just pay at the door and show vaccination etc.

I asked for a refund after 30 minutes of a three session class that had very little to do with the stated subject (Zora Neale Hurston and Ralph Ellison). Roundtable responded that their policies would not permit a statement credit or a refund. I would NOT RECOMMEND this service since the advertisement and the content did not align and since their return policy is so inflexible, even for longtime customers of 92Y classes such as ourselves

I've only been here one time. I enjoyed the performance. The space is small and unique. Due to the size it feels like you are part of the performance and all the seats are good ones. The details on the walls and inhaler the ceiling are worth the visit on their own. Three only downside is that the acoustics are not that good.

Went for a ceramics class and had a great time. The instructors were friendly and very helpful. I was also taken aback by the programs they have. There were signs all around promoting many different speakers that they have had or coming in the future. It read like a who's who. I will defiantly add the 92Y to my list of places to watch.

I was told I was locked into a $59.99 membership for as long as we are stuck in Covid. Well, my membership is now $82 and as far as I know, Covid is still going on. They said that with this price increase they would give members more amenities like towel service starting September 1st, when they raised the price. It is now October 15th and we still don't have towels. They brought used, rusty kitchen racks into the locker room where towels are supposed to be, but still no towels. The elevators take FOREVER. It will take you 5-10 minutes to get up or down to the third floor where the gym is. It drives me crazy. Check out this picture I took today while waiting for the elevator. This is what I am paying for?

We registered our daughter in the polliwogs swim class. Instructors were nice and the classes themselves were good and fun. Our issues were that the swimming pool itself is too cold and also the family locker room space is limited. We ended up having to drop out after only 4 of 14 classes for unrelated reasons. We tried contacting them multiple times for a credit for a future season. We got no response to our emails or messages. Perception was they are unorganized or intentionally unresponsive.

One of my good friends had the pleasure of staying here and really enjoyed it. I actually am writing this because they just wouldn't stop talking about it so hopefully this will help. The biggest thing he told me was how amazing the staff was to him and how accommodating they were to all his needs. He got there late due to a flight but was still able to check in and get all settle into his space. He was even able to extend his stay another day when his flight got delayed. It was a great space and friendly atmosphere. I even thought about staying there if I needed a vacation!
