First time I've been to this place since I was a youth leader 20 years ago! This was a decent way to spend a Sunday afternoon with the family, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been updated since my last visit. Take into consideration that we went on a Sunday in November when you read my pros and cons. Pros: 1) It's not super busy so you don't have to wait in lines for forever. 2) It's fun for all ages. 3) There are deals on certain days if you check online before you go (but read more about this in my cons list). 4) The staff was all nice/respectful. 5) There were plenty of go-karts so the wait wasn't super long even when the line was. 6) Arcade games are pretty cheap compared to most places. Cons: 1) When we bought our wristbands, we showed the desk attendant an online deal that said 'This Weekend Only' so she could ring them up at the right price. We were told they weren't sure why it was showing that on their site, but it wasn't the right price. They did end up honoring the discount for us, but I'm still baffled that it took having to get a manager to okay a discount that was listed right there on their website. 2) The go-karts do a weird thing where they slow down like they're about to sputter out and then speed up again, which is kind of annoying if you're competitive. 3) One of the bumper boats we used wasn't working and they knowingly let my son get in it even though several others were empty--not sure why they didn't just move it to the end or mark it as out of service. 4) Another one of the boats drove fine but the water gun on it didn't work so my daughter got blasted by all of us but couldn't get anyone back (which was actually pretty funny). 5) The green turf stuff on the mini golf course wasn't blown off so there were a lot of leaves and those little propeller seed pod things. They also have lots of lumps where the green has come unglued or something so even if you're a great putter, the green might mess you up a bit. 6) The air hockey table has a glitch so when you put money in, you can hear the puck drop but can't find it. The girl at the desk said you have to hit the side of the table...so we did and it finally fell so we could get it. Haha! Overall, it was a good time, but the whole place is in need of some updating and a good bit of TLC. If you're not a snob and can make the most of a trip out, go ahead and spend some time there. My 6 year old loved it, but my older teens were ready to go after about an hour or so. We drove 45 minutes to get there, so while we did have fun, we probably won't visit again unless we decide to take our youngest when the water park is open next summer.
