Amazing place for schools to visit to enrich the young minds in future careers finance and dept. Look forward to seeing my kids school reach out to many more students with your program. Thank you Junior Achievements for an amazing place.

Went here in 4th grade, in AZ. They had a Chase Field that I got picked to be in! I was so lucky to be there. I wish to go back

Fantastic concept but needs a major overhaul in how it is presented. Students are given a tablet with a completely randomized scenario; marital status, # of kids, job, education, and salary are all predetermined... even the amount of debt they started with was fixed. It was chaos from beginning to end; The kids with anxiety were on the verge of breakdown having to deal with a scenario they in no way would have put themselves into, the kids who didn't take it seriously were single with 125k salaries.... It was a GREAT immersion of just how many financial factors there are to consider in real life (Insurance, unexpected costs, etc), but this was quickly washed away with the poor modeling and PUSHING for them to dedicate savings and investments that their forced scenario did not allow for. Many students still have unreasonably high lingering fears over their future based on their scenario experience here. The park itself is visually impressive, but each \business station\ is not run by staff, only parent volunteers with no training, handouts, or information to give to these kids, only a code to check mark that they stopped by. If this were tweaked to give the kids some sense of power over their own choices and see the result of those decisions... this could easily be a 5 star program. For now, calling in a volunteer life coach, college counselor, and accountant to the classroom to explain concepts with a worksheet would be a far better investment of time and school funding.

I used to come here on field trips when I was younger and it used to be fun! I went yesterday to volunteer for my nieces class. Horrible is the only word I have. It was chaotic the whole time. They didn’t train us volunteers, so we sat there for an hour doing nothing and had no idea how to help the kids. The head director lady had no patients at all for the kids. The kids were saying they would have rather been at school! They definitely need to pick up their game and should definitely hire more employees to help out. Will not come here again.
