    Awesome!!
    Awesome Experience! We visited today for the first time. It was great and everyone had a wonderful time. We drove go karts, played mini golf and air hockey. Four of us played Mario Kart (I won) and then rode motorcycles (I came in last). We visited around noon on Friday which I highly recommend. We will definitely go again.

    Sports Emporium
    Took a 15 and 11 year old here and spent about 5 hours. Their review of the laser tag was that it was the best course they've been on. Sessions are 20 minutes. There are two separate go kart tracks. They chose the outdoor course which has more twists and turns. The indoor track is an oval and I assume it's more for racing. There are two mini golf courses. They are fun, but nothing challenging or exceptional. The arcade games are expensive, with most costing $1 per play. Overall, it was a fun day and if we were visiting I that area again a, we'd go back.

    Excellent Fun
    Really enjoyed our afternoon at this location. Very pretty mini golf courses, loads of games, indoor go karting for our 7 yr old, and a laser maze game. We have to try the batting cages and laser tag on our next visit. Loved the VR rabbit chase game; my favorite. We have to play the other VR game next time. Highly recommended!

Very disappointing!!!

Don’t waste your time/money on the Western mini golf course. No actual features to the holes, which were overgrown with the bushes around them!

What a dud
Aug 2022 • Family
We’ve been coming here for years, and as time goes on they’ve gotten more expensive and given cheaper service and goods. The go carts are slow as ever, not worth the money, you can’t even race each other. The games are expensive and the food stand looks shut down. Although the esthetics of it are nice and clean, we were here prime time on a Friday night and there was 6 other people here. It’s a shame because the place could actually be fun. I tried to speak to the front desk and they offered no resolution, I bought a 10 race card and only used 4 is asked for a refund on the unused rides and they wouldn’t even accommodate me on that, and it was only 30mins later. Very disappointing and sad to say we will not be returning.

Not a great time
Jun 2021 • Couples
I've had to many bad experiences here. Whether it's having to pay for already broken items( golf club) to having a 50 game card stolen and not being able to get any kind of refund. I just wish I could have had better experiences there but I don't want to lose more money.

They offer go cart rides, roller skating, lots of game machines, a decent snack bar - the options are limited, but the food was not bad!
