What parents say
"In response to the “owner’s” challenge below. There are a few factors that can make this a five star facility. 1. The entranceway and hallways are not clean. Cobwebs and dust. That bothered me. However the bathroom was being cleaned when I got there so that was good. Clean those areas. 2. Staff was super nice. We didn’t order food or drink so the $10 we got “back” for parking was valueless. That was annoying because had the sign stated the $10 was for food or drink we would have parked on the street as street parking was available. $30 is a lot for parking at a place we’re going to go spend mo"

"Most of the games were working , clean floors and tables but the food service was not good ... our server seemed high and took forever . Our son got his food way before us and was almost finished eating by the time we received our plates ! The food was OK, nothing special but it wasn't bad. Nice variety of games to keep everyone occupied . Good prizes to choose from ..."
