"My daughter and I love this place, we've been several times over the last few years. I think they are a better value than some of the other kids redemption arcades around. I got a really good cheeseburger there as well. The ice cream is good and the bumper cars are pretty fast. The staff is pleasant and helpful. If you have young children you need to get them in there."

"This place was packed in the early afternoon on a tues. There were kids and parents everywhere from the food gallery, to the arcade area. The staff were moving brisk but they did not look stressed which means this a normal week day. The bumper cars were bumping, the merry around was going around, the food was being munched on and the arcade was very very busy. A nice place to take kids."
