| - Let me start by saying you can have a blast here. Bottom line: there's a lot to do, but most of the place is pretty run-down.
COST:
I came here with my husband and his stepson (age 20) and we bought an unlimited 4-hour package, for $15 each ($20 Mon-Fri, plus their website has a coupon for another $5 off). We truly had a fun-filled 4-plus hours, and there were many things we didn't have time to do.
ATTRACTIONS:
We played mini-golf on all of their courses (three), rode go-karts four times, went on the bumper boats (where some cruel child pushed me under the waterfall - don't carry anything you can't get wet), and even had soft pretzels at their cafe.
CrackerJax also has a medium-sized arcade and offers laser tag. There's bungy dome, a driving range for adults, batting cages, and a really nice sand volleyball court.
MINI-GOLF:
We have all been to other mini golf courses and had to agree that, although this place has three, they're all painfully simple and boring. Most of the holes are just a green with a hole on the opposite end of the tee (which is just a paint mark - in my experience, there ought to be a rubber thing with divets for three balls), and the course is totally devoid of fun obstacles like windmills, etc. At other golf courses, we've seen maybe one or two totally simple holes like that, and the rest are all far more interesting. The Optical Delusion course was by far the best, but fell far short of interesting.
GO-KARTS:
The Go-Karts are great fun!! It's a nice, long course and you stay out for about five minutes. They have one-seaters and two-seaters, and different height requirements for passengers (so littler guys can ride with parents). Two complaints: they seem to have just as many cars out of commission as working, which made the wait times significantly longer (we were there on a Monday afternoon - this would have taken a TON of time on a weekend with bigger crowds), and several of the carts aren't quite 100% functional (basically, it's possible to get a really slow one). The teenagers running the ride also sent a girl out in a cart that didn't work properly (they knew this beforehand because they were trying to fix it) and it broke down and had to be pushed back in.
BUMPER BOATS:
The bumper boats are a lot of fun, and the pool is very pretty, but once again, several boats were just sitting there, broken, making the lines longer.
CAFE:
The cafe is super run-down. The pretzels were good enough, but it looked like the place was right out of the '90s.
Overall, CrackerJax seems to be doing a lot of things, but none of them super well. It's a great place to take kids (of all ages) for a variety of entertainment, but keep your expectations a bit low.
