| - I was looking for an activity to wear out my 9, 8, and 4 year old that didn't involve the purchase of McNuggets or pizza, and I found it at Wazee's World. We arrived early for the Mom and Me Bounce, but since there were no other patrons, the owner started up the bounce for the girls. We also played a round of Alien Mini Golf under black light. This would be a great activity for teens (my girls were a little too young for it.) A lengthy chat with the owner led me to learn that they've been open since June (!) and that they had a lot of plans that haven't come to fruition yet because of the economy (like a coffee center, where parents grab coffee and chill or chat, while kids play.) The three bounce houses for 7.00 per kid kept my kids well-entertained for almost two hours, and gave them the much needed exercise I was seeking. The video game assortment looked comparable to Peter Piper, and they have Air Hockey and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. It looks like the Lazer Tag is a popular option in the evening hours - although we didn't check that out. Places like this are a much needed alternative to other types of entertainment, but I have a feeling that Wazee's will continue to struggle. For one, it's on the outskirts of Sun City - not a city known for having a plethora of children. Additionally, the economy has cut out a lot of this type of activity for families right now. I probably could have taken my kids to the park and gotten a slightly less positive reaction. Still - as a person who believes in local business and supporting activities that keep teens busy, I do recommend you check out Wazee's World (hopefully it's here to stay.)
