| - I think this is a case of "great concept, poor execution." First, let's talk about the price. I went there for a charity event, and I got in for around $30. Regularly, it is around $50. I think this is pretty expensive, but your frame of reference may be different.
Secondly, be prepared to wait around a lot. I don't know if it was because the place was new and understaffed, but I spent approximately 80% of my time waiting around. There were multiple target lanes open, but seemingly not enough staff there. When I am paying for an experience, the last thing I want is to spend most of my time waiting.
The problem was exacerbated by the fact that there were children there. If it is a child's turn ahead of you, how are you going to complain when the kid's mother wants another turn for a photo opportunity? You just can't win.
Lastly, I felt that some of the staff did not do a good job. One of the staff manning the archery station didn't even properly explain how to use a bow. He just kept telling me to "aim lower", and then remarked "what happened there?" when one arrow hit the floor. At the station, we are supposed to have five shots per round for scoring. I was consistently using three, and he didn't even offer me two more.
I see this place as more of a novelty. If you are an adult, I recommend renting the place out once and never going again. I could see it having value if they lowered the price and had constant activities, but until then I recommend a one-and-done approach.
