We have been going here with our children for 22 years. There are many play options... Games, mini golf, batting cages, and soft play. We've enjoyed them all. The place is clean and the staff is very friendly and great with children. We've never been disappointed with our visit.

We spent the whole day here!! It was affordable, and kept my grandkids extremely happy for hours!!! We went on a Saturday at noon and it was just right with not too crowded, but still people and kids there to play. Nice choice games for the kids for earning tickets for prizes. However, my grandkids loved the playground the most!! Staff is beyond EXCEPTIONAL!! We will be back again!!

Mini golf was fun. The course is 18 holes. The arcade was pure chaos. Busy and loud. Many of the machines took our money and/or was broken. Kids were running into people, screaming and unsupervised. Won't be back.

What an amazing arcade - biggest one we've ever been to. It had an upstairs and downstairs!! The girls loved the "soft play" area and it was hard to get them out of there. Their mother and I played a lot of the games. Actually spent most of the money on the cards while the girls played on the jungle jim. They even had a selection of adult beverages to take the edge off!! A little pricey, but worth it!!

My husband and I took the kids to play goofy golf and use the batting cages. We had a great time. The staff is really nice and helpful. The food is good and reasonably priced. We ate under the covered picnic tables outside and had a beer too. We'll be back for more good times.
