This place is different. I am not much of a mini golf fan, but we've been THREE times already. It…read moreis themed to a classic amusement park Des Moines had long before I moved here - Riverview Park - and is set up quite different than what I've seen elsewhere. Instead of just putting around props, there are unique holes where you play them like a carnival game (instead of putting), or where you "roll" the ball to start a game (Skee-Ball). There are even two blacklight holes inside the Haunted House dark ride tribute room, and a mirror maze tribute you walk through to get to that hole. So much fun! We bought the $100 pass which came with four tickets, and a discount on certain days of the month. Already ready to get back. And did I mention I am not really a mini golf fan?

I was extremely disappointed by the way management treated one of the servers during my visit. The…read moremanager spoke to the server in a rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional manner in full view of customers and other employees. No employee deserves to be embarrassed or belittled while simply trying to do their job. Watching someone be reprimanded publicly created an uncomfortable atmosphere and reflected very poorly on the restaurant's leadership. Good managers address performance issues privately, with respect and professionalism--not by humiliating employees in front of guests. The server remained calm and continued providing excellent service despite the treatment, which made the manager's behavior even more disappointing. If this is how employees are treated on a regular basis, it's concerning. I hope ownership takes these concerns seriously and encourages a workplace culture built on respect, professionalism, and dignity for both employees and customers.

Not too busy, but on Friday's they have their prime rib deal. It was cooked just right. Didn't come out with any horseradish (raw or creamy) or au jus sauce. Very odd. We asked the waitress for some. She seemed dumbfounded, but went and asked the cook and another staff came back at least with some raw horseradish. Definitely need something with it. But it was cooked well. The cheese curds are always good. So many that come in anorder too, so be ready to share!! The veggie spring egg rolls are delicious, surprisingly because I always get pork. I think I'll always go veggie next time. They tasted great. Not pictured with the filet de burgo, which our friends had, which is always delicious there. Our waitress was a little "clueless" on a few things. I do get scared for this generation. Maybe a few more trips will improve her skills, but overall a place we will be back to.

Two main issues was it was cart path only which I can understand due to the weather but we couldn't even play the front nine. They let only a select few play even though there were signs saying back nine only. It would have been nice to know that there were extreme stipulations when we called for a tee time. Also, LADIES are far discriminated against. My wife wanted to buy new golf shoes since she had forgotten hers and they had one pair...men had over 30. Also, there are no facilities to relive yourself so plan on exposing yourself to the hundreds that live on the course if you have an emergency. Lastly, people that I'm assuming are members and those the course gives special treatment to will definitely cut in front of you...happened to us and we had to wait. Try somewhere else but if you feel you really want to play, because it is a nice course, well maintained, and beautiful greens, make sure you ask questions...and don't bring a female.

Great size pool for young kids and then transitions to a deeper pool in the middle. I enjoyed this pool as it was not that large as Valley View near Jordan Creek. No lazy River. Three giant slides are the highlight. Diving board and a drop slide. Overall it was a cool pool and highly recommend visiting if you want a smaller setting.

The line to get in was 15/20 min due to patrons signing up for their summer passes. When we finally were in, it looked like a normal amount of people that enjoys this pool, pre pandemic years. All patrons were not masked. Employees were not masked. Ok to be masked if comfortable. Social distancing was not enforced but most people were spaced out naturally. Lazy River line is tightly packed and water tubes are used, so there is closer contact. This aquatic center has a water playground in the center, another pool is the deeper pool with water slides, and another pool with the lazy river. Lots of entertainment for many ages! Snack bar offers snacks and drinks and shaded area to eat. Cost for admission for ages 12 and under is $6 Over 13 is $9 Unfortunately, our visit ended quickly because the kid pool closed after low visibility in the water and pH level was off. It was closed the rest of our afternoon to allow the filters to clear out the water. Overall it's a fun pool to go to, when it's open to all. There probably will be more of these kinks with visits in the future because the pandemic closed this pool in the fall 2019 till summer 2021. 4 stars for fun and options, clean and spacious, esthetically cool looking, and customer service. Lost star for management being unprepared for summer pass lines, kid pool shut down, and no refund on admission after our 30 min visit. (Obviously they had no control over the pool shut down! But I haven't seen a refund yet)
