8.6/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)
This would have been 5 stars. Everything the water park, the restraunts, the tranpoline park, the go carts all top notch. The issue is the game zone. $1.75 to $5.00 a game and they charge a few to enter your $25 to $50 dollars is gone way too fast. It would be better to charge the entry fee and makes the games cheap so you can actually play for 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The game zone was so dead almost no one. Waist of space. Time zones in other countries have it that you can play for hours. The prizes you have to save up for so make them harder to get and for more tickets but at least let people play. Very dumb business design on the game zone. You could bring in so much more money buy letting people play and reducing the price to play....not to win prizes.
