They do have food but we didn't buy any. Overall a re"

"Activities are decent. Staff were cool. Building is freezing!!!! Even employees have on coats and hats. Don’t come here if it’s cold outside, it will feel the same inside. See photos of customers with coats and hats on."

"The place is great for group outings. We all had a great time. The reason I went with 4 stars is because they didn’t inform us that the cook wasn’t coming in that day which left us scrambling to figure out a different food option. Otherwise everything was great!"
