We try to do fun things from time to time, instead of just running errands and paying bills…read more We made a stop at Little Amerricka, tucked in a remote area near a cemetery and lots of farmland, and had a good time. We walked through the park and rode the Meteor, an old wooden rollercoaster which is one of the few I've gotten Mr. R on in our time together. We also did the bumper cars and gokarts, and shared a vehicle each time. We even walked through the haunted house. We tried riding the train, but it was over 12 minutes late departing, and it sounded like it would be a 30 minute train ride, so we decided to walk around instead. Mr. R said no to the Monorail, so we didn't check it out. To ride rides, you need to buy a wristband, from around $15-$30, depending on which attractions are included. The only thing we didn't really want to do was mini-golf, since it was overcast and a little chilly out. The park also has a concession stand and snack station, with things like ice cream, popcorn, and hot dogs, and prices were very reasonable! Little Amerricka is a wholesome vintage amusement park with small town carnival fun including plenty of rides for littler ones.

We had my child's birthday party at Little Amerricka and it couldn't have been easier or more fun!…read more Darryl was super helpful with planning and made everything simple--really all we had to do was show up and enjoy. The party package is a great deal and includes food, cake, drinks, rides, and nonstop fun. The staff and ride operators were welcoming, kind, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The kids (and adults!) loved the Meteorite and the bumper boats--especially spraying the family with water! On top of that, there are so many classic carnival rides, a haunted house, mini golf, and plenty of spins, screams, and laughs to keep everyone entertained all day. Overall, Little Amerricka is the perfect spot for a birthday celebration--stress-free to plan and packed with family fun. Highly recommend!

We brought my then 2 year old there last summer and he had a blast. I crawled around in the tubes…read morewith him and it was a lot of fun. Not sure what they other reviewer meant but everything seemed really clean to me. I wasn't a huge fan of the food, but the kids seemed to love it too. They have a pretty good sized game room and the main play area is really huge. It's three levels up with slides and lots of things to climb. We're from down in the Iowa City area and we keep meaning to go back. I highly recommend it. Really cheap too. Not like going to a movie to just have your kid veg out. Just remember socks for the kids. We had to buy a pair, but I think it was only $2 or something like that. And I heard afterward they have kneepads I could have used. not sure if that is true or not, but that would have been nice. Everything is cushioned, but my knees aren't really built for climbing and crawling anymore.

Fun in theory, but the execution and staff, need improvement…read more I came to this trampoline and activity center hoping for an easygoing day with the kids, and while we made the best of it, the experience left a lot to be desired. From the moment we checked in, the energy was off. The front desk staff member who greeted us (blonde hair, long fake nails) didn't make eye contact, barely acknowledged us, and came across as unfriendly and disengaged. In a place designed for kids and families, this kind of first impression matters, and unfortunately, it set the tone. The facility includes a climbing zone, a small café, an arcade, and open space for kids to play. Marlee, who was working at the prize area, was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our visit. She was warm, upbeat, and engaging with every child who approached her. She truly brought the kind of energy this place should be known for: fun, respectful, and interactive. If every staff member had her approach, this would be a five-star review. She deserves a promotion or at the very least, recognition. That said, the rest of the staff seemed either disinterested or unprepared to manage the space. Kids were sprinting around recklessly, bumping into others and causing minor chaos with no supervision or redirection. Staff members were either too young, too inexperienced, or simply unwilling to intervene. Several arcade machines were broken, without signage, and remained so even after it was brought to staff's attention. Kids were losing tokens repeatedly and having to return to the counter to ask for help, which became frustrating and took away from the fun. This center has potential, but what it really needs is not just updated attractions, but a serious upgrade in staff training, supervision, and customer engagement. A fun place should feel fun, safe, and welcoming--and right now, it's missing the mark.

This was the final surprise for my friend's nephew's 5th birthday party and all in all it was a…read morepretty standard amusement experience. The highlights: First off, ya gotta get on those Go-Karts. You can't tip 'em over and you can drive like the jerk you always wanted to be, but were too nice to go there. Take those corners at full speed and race your friends. I do have a nagging suspicion some were faster than the others, but nonetheless a fun experience. The arcade was kind of hit and miss. Some games were a lot of fun, then broke mid-play, some games just didn't work, and then there was this strange situation with the free throw game--all but two basketballs were put into one of the games, leaving my game almost too full with basketballs, and my friends sister wondering when the next one would come through (she only had 2). I fixed it after I noticed, but I thought that should be caught by the staff, which leads me to my next point. The staff was kinda apathetic. One of their overpriced sodas was shooting out carbonated water. I alerted the staff to this and she didn't seem to want to do anything, but I ended up with a Gatorade instead of a Diet Coke (I guess it's close enough?). Then when the arcade games started going crazy I also alerted her and again, nothing. She was going to get us some tickets jammed in the machine but went MIA to the counter to discuss more pressing teenaged issues with the Go Kart operator. All that really mattered was that the little guy had fun on his big day and after we pooled our tickets, he walked out with a bunch of arcade-y style prizes--Chinese finger trap anyone?

I lived here my whole life and i have been here once and then brought my nephews and my two kids…read morehere and i was very disappointed in this place! Prices could be a little cheaper.
