From the reviews
The Wife and I don't have any Kids, but it doesn't matter because We are both big Kids at heart. We enjoy the miniature golf courses, 2 eighteen hole courses with lots of side features.
We had my Granddaughters “5th” Birthday Party here It Was Magnificent She enjoyed her self so much she stated she had the most fun Ever the rides the games was really Wonderful. The food was Great Everyone loves Pizza. We will be returning very soon for her just to enjoy herself without it being her big day!!!!!
Great place to access batting cages. $2.00 for 12 pitches. 5 different cages with different pitch speeds. You load funds on a game card that can also be used anywhere else within the complex. Consistently good pizza. They have beer and seltzer drinks for adults. Sometimes live entertainment on weekends.
My family likes to play here every once in a while. The prices are a little steep. We have had a lot of fun with putt-putt, but this last time around it did seem a little run down. It's hardly spring, so maybe they just haven't updated them yet. The games are fun, but it gets really crowded sometimes.

Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular arenas.
