💡Pro Tips from Reviews
- →If planning to stay for a full afternoon, purchasing 'unlimited passes' is recommended despite the cost, as it offers better value.
- →Budget generously for the arcade; plan for '$50-$100' per child to fully enjoy the games.
- →Bring money for food and drinks, as on-site options are 'a little expensive' but icy drinks are a good choice when it's hot.
- →Actively supervise children on the go-kart tracks, as aggressive driving can occur from other participants.
- →Check ahead if the 'little kid's track' is open if bringing children under 4'10" to avoid disappointment.
- →Consider the weather; no AC on tracks means it gets very hot in 80°+ conditions.
Things to Consider
- ⚠Significant height restriction: Children under 4'10" have very limited activity options, leading to sadness and boredom, as this venue is 'more of a preteen-teenager spot'.
- ⚠The dedicated 'little kid's track' is not always open, leaving younger children with nothing to do or forcing them to ride as passengers only on the two main tracks.
- ⚠Go-kart tracks can get very crowded with 'too many people on the track at one time', leading to bumping and aggressive driving.
- ⚠Dining area food is described as 'basic grub' and 'a little expensive'.
- ⚠Arcade credits deplete quickly; expect to spend '$50-$100 is pretty average for each kid to really have fun' in the arcade.
- ⚠No air conditioning on the go-kart tracks, making for a hot experience in 80°+ weather.
- ⚠Pizza 'could be better'.

Boredom NeverOver
2 months agoCame here to take my spawnling to go go-karting. Spawnling had a blast, managed to get some wheel time before intake them to do real life driving. The best part is how my spawnling is getting to learn how to do proper over takes, proper drive lines, and apex turns.

a week agoI met my date here, and honestly, I don't know if it was him or the atmosphere, but we had soooooo much fun. Especially, the Go-Karts. We didn't order any food or snacks. We did hit the arcade for some competition on the motorcycle game, I forget what it was called.

a year agoI took my son there for his birthday and purchase unlimited passes for everyone in our group. It’s a little expensive, but it made sense if you’re there for the whole afternoon. They had a lot of fun but my daughter was not tall enough and she was sad that she couldn’t go on any of the tracks which left her not much to do. The little kid’s track was closed and she wanted to ride it but for some reason the personnel didn’t open it, which was a waste so she had to ride as a passenger in all of the race track race which are only two. Otherwise, the kids love the tracks. They got a little crazy because there was too many people on the track at one time and they started bumping each other especially a couple little aggressive kids, but the person now stopped it, and it eventually did not allow them to go on anymore Parents really need regulate their children. I suggest if you have kids to watch him and kick it in the dining area because it’s helpful to make sure your children are safe. The dining area was a little expensive and you order through a machine but otherwise it’s your basic grub for kids. I fed my kids lunch and they really like the icy‘s because it was super hot that day and when you race on the track, there’s no air conditioning so driving in 80° plus weather on a track that gets hot so icee’s were perfect. The indoor arcade is pretty awesome. Kids had fun but you go through credits really quick so if you really want to have fun I’d say spending about $50-$100 is pretty average for each kid to really have fun on the arcades. It’s it’s worth just going there for the arcade. I don’t think there’s other one of that size regionally. I played a few games so there’s something for everyone. Otherwise, everyone of the staff was friendly, the bathrooms and facilities are clean and if you want to have a fun time for about 4 hours it’s worth it. I probably spend about $125 per person. It’s cheaper than any amusement park and you get some fun. Four stars because they really don’t have anything for little kids under 4’10”. This is more of a preteen-teenager spot above 4’10”—sorry petite girls.

3 months agoI havent been here in yrs and it’s still the same as it was before. Still a great place for family (Kids and adults alike). Pizza could be better but overall a great place with lots of variety for the whole family. Rooms are huge for a big party. Will definitely be back again more often.
