★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1DG was very accommodating for our birthday party for 3 kids!! The staff was on top of everything, kept the kids engaged & happy and they were there for any needs we had! Amiya went out of her way to help me fix our broken #5 candle before we did cake. All of our guests were smiling and happy, the kids all had a wonderful time. The ninja course was awesome & created some awesome hiding spots for a game of hide & seek. The foam pit was a crowd favorite. The best part for us as parents was the fact that we didn’t have to do anything except show up! Highly recommend DG south for a party!!
June 08 · Sierra LanierOur Daughters love coming here for their tumbling classes. Our 15 year old, likes that it's challenging, and a nicer, more caring environment than Sparks Athletics. Our youngest is almost 2, and she loves spending time with the other kids in her age group. She gets excited to do the different exercises, and perform the various challenges. Her Instructor is very friendly and patient with the children. She makes it fun for the kids, and we really like that. Really top notch place. I'd recommend them to anybody
July 26 · troy whitmanThe coaches at DG South are great. Autumn, McKenna and Ava have all worked with my daughter and are fabulous. They are encouraging and have taught her so much in the short time we have been coming here. I highly recommend DG South to anyone working on their tumbling skills. You will not regret it!
April 12 · lisa witfothOur daughter had an amazing birthday party at DG South. The staff were amazing and made sure all the kids had an absolute blast (while making sure they played safely). Definitely made the day for our girl!
April 12 · Cassandra ShookWe celebrated our daughter's 8th birthday at DG South with a small private group class/party. Lori and Jessica were both amazing to work with! They were friendly, accommodating, and instrumental in making a family memory we will cherish. Our kids had a blast!
