  • Manage expectations for the go-karts; they are more for casual fun than competitive racing, as speeds can be consistently slow.

  • Be prepared for a potentially messy environment, especially during busy periods like Saturday afternoons.

"Pretty cool place to take the kids . Good prices on the games not a true nickle but 10 cents up to 60 cents for games. It was a little dirty garbage and food scraps left around but was also a busy Saturday. Go karts are pretty cool and the VR wasn't bad ."

"Laser tag was super fun. Admission is super cheap and kids under five get in free. The games are fun and there's a large selection. Minus one star because the location is dirty overall, some of the games didn't work, and the neighborhood is sketchy."
