We had a birthday party here and it was so simple and stress free. The staff were very accommodating and handled everything. We definitely recommend!!

We had our daughter's birthday party here. A lot of the arcade games were broken or just plain not working. We paid for one of their party packages. That included food and drink. The pizza was actually ordered out from Papa John's by The adventure landing staff. Basically adventure landing staff ordered the pizza from Papa John's and then sold it to us at a higher price. I could have saved money and went to Papa John's and bought it myself. The mini golf course was in disrepair and very dirty. on the day of our visit it rained for maybe 5 min . We were told by the staff once the track dries out the go-karts would open back up. Well the track dried out the go-karts never opened back up. they were closed for the rest of the time we were there. I did ask them a few times what's going on. I was continually told that they're working on opening the track but I never seen anybody go out there to do anything. if you want to plan a kid's birthday party here go somewhere else don't even bother.

Compared to how I've seen this place last time I came here nothing quite like says new management like a modest but effective facelift. I'm not kidding, last time I was here there was half the machines missing, a large pile of broken down whatever and an almost none existent prize counter. I brought my boyfriend and his brother here to show the disaster of what yet another neglected family fun center looks like and to our surprise, it was not only alive it looked like it was fighting to come back from the red. There were some new machines, some old ones... some of which are remnants to a much more neglected era of business and with the Jank you expect. But the fresh ones are there and feel a bit livelier. The token package at $50 is 300 tokens (average is 16 cents a token at this point) which feels very adequate for a small family outing. On the machines that did break down, the staff members (Kendra and Jessica) at the time were really quick to address the issue whether it was to turn off a breaking machine, reimburse lost tokens, or even provide unpaid prize tickets. Overall, my family had fun and we really appreciate the attentiveness and the hopeful energy the staff brings. They really make the experience extra special. There still feels a way to go in some regards, but I firmly believe in supporting the change you want to see. This new management has me wanting to believe and invest more in a place like this. I think this is worth a good fun afternoon. If you make it this far, most action games take up 4 tokens, while most simple ticket based games range from 1-2 with the exception of the newer ticket dispenser games which still hang out at 4 tokens but also have potential for much higher yield. The Raptor Toss game that is literally in every arcade ever is completely Jank and will often bounce the ball back to the launcher but if you play it right you can get a lot for a single token. Combos seem iffy as to if they actually register but it seems like all attempts are worth 5 tickets. Also for some reason it currently seems set to give you 5 balls per token. When Loading Tokens in the Angry Birds game, drop the token into the slot don't push it into the slot otherwise it may not register the token. The chain that brings the ball to the slingshot is operating slightly faster than normal and thus will throw the ball in weird places - thankfully the game knows this and you won't miss your turn. Just be patient. One of the best ticket to token ratio games is Crossy Roads. It's pretty straight forward, but you literally get a ticket for every step. Just take your time and don't try to run through it and you'll reap high rewards. There are a few claw machines with ticket values that are good, they seem more like placeholders much like the remains of the Raptor Toss or that single ball drop (which you shouldn't play, it's never been worth it in any arcade IMO) but be prepared to wait in line for those from some of the more local veteran claw jockeys. Minigolf course was clean when we went, didn't get a change to test the Go-Karts. Maybe next time!

Last year I visited this retro looking arcade and found it in a state of complete neglect. I stopped by this year to see if it was abandoned and it turns out there is new management. The broken outdated games that used to take up half the room have been removed and replaced with brand new games that you would expect to see at a Dave and Busters. Nothing cost more than 2-4 tokens except one ride machine that seats two for the price. Some of the leftover older machines are a bit janky but employees are kind and willing to help. We had to ask for help a few times with the machines but it never felt like a hassle. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jessica and Kendra for their five star service. They helped me make a fun experience for Grandma who needed a way to have fun while staying out of the sun. They were both helpful with the machines and patient when she asked the same question multiple times at the prize counter. She has fond memories of traditional arcades and for only fifty bucks, we had enough tokens split among the four of us to last two hours. Definitely worthwhile.
