| - When I asked my niece what she and her friend wanted to do, their eyes lit up as they suggested this place. The idea of a family fun megamix of bowling, mini golf, and arcade seemed like a fun place to me, too, though it seemed to me that a couple prongs of that trifecta might have received short shrift - particularly the mini golf, the nine holes of which are over in about half an hour, and the arcade, which is small and dominated by the rigged performance-type games (skee ball, test your strength) designed to turn your money into a handful of tickets which can be used to purchase small amounts of candy and cheap plastic toys. I would have preferred more of the type of arcade games that turn my money into three-minute opportunities to play shiny new video games despite the fact that I already have hundreds of games purchased for Steam, PS3, Xbox One, and Wii U at home that I've never touched. Although they do have Alien vs Predator and a Jurassic World cabinet, so it's not all bad. Two ten year-olds were able to play a game of golf and get bored of the arcade games within an hour, which can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how long you intended on staying. For me, I wanted more.
