My sister invited me to join her to Area 53 since she won two free all access passes to this facility off a contest on social media. The area has a lot in its space which is hard to tell from just the street. The all access pass covers all the harness activities. The light pass excludes the harness activities. The arcade and roller blading is additional cost. The facility has lockers for free as long as you bring your own lock. If you don't have a lock, you can purchase one from the vending machine. At this time of this review it was priced at $8 a lock. The adventure course above was very interesting. After being harnessed in by staff you walk up the stairs to the course. There are several directions you can take which has challenging ways to walk to and from each platform. The highlight of this course is the zip line part. They have a safety light to indicate to the users when to wait and when to go. There are also three sections for rock climbing. In the other side there is a slide section with 7 areas to slide down. The staff member provides the slide sack and directs you how to use it before you head up. There is also a section upstairs that is for toddlers to play in. Also two additional swirl slides where you can access there. Overall we had fun. The price can be a little high for some, so best to try to see if they have any promotions.

really cool spot to visit in Brooklyn especially if you're a Brooklyn local & want to do something nearby! Check out Groupon for discounted tickets before purchasing on the website / in person. Be prepared for a crowd (even during snow days) on the weekends. I came at 11am & an hour didn't past before it was crowded. Though there's plenty of space and activities to have fun. Also, shower after your visit; I'm not sure what the cleaning process is but there are a lot of people in an indoor space , sweating & not a hand sanitizer dispenser in site !

Visited for my daughters birthday. Kids had fun, they enjoyed the zip line and rock climbing. My boys enjoyed the games. The one issue I had was, many of the games were out of order. The food is also extremely over priced, I would never pay $5 for a bag of chips.... I did enjoy their lychee and rose wine cooler. Also realized I didn't need to pay, because I did not join in on any of the activities. Now I know... I'd go back

Ropes course

Fun place to spend a few hours if you haven't been already. Went for adults nughtlm a Thursday evening, so it wasn't too crowded, which was nice. There were no lines. Did the ropes course which was attached to the Zipline. Played some arcade games, some of which were out of service. Climbed some structures and ate some dippin dots. The journey to get there by train included a walk through the neighborhood which was an eye opening experience. This is an interesting place to check out if you are looking for some thrill.

Party Room package private area

Came for a party. This place is extremely fun for all ages. They have the kids area for 1 to 4 years old. And older. It's arcade games throughout the area which you have to purchase a card for an additional fee. The private party room package is a good size with 2 large tables for around 16 to 20 guests. You get to bring your own decorations and decorate the room according to your theme. I honestly didn't enjoy the food. The pizza was very blah not tasteful. I enjoyed it for the kids and pre teen. They had a blast. Great for kids party.

Go with family and friends and you'll have so much fun. There's so much to do. You have roller skating, rock climbing, video games, timed rock climbing, paint ball, private party rooms and more. Area 53 is huge and perfect for family and friend events. You can make reservations and pay when you arrive. All the staff members are friendly and super patient when you have questions. ENJOY!

Food stand

Great for birthdays or getting your kids out the house! The have a lot of games and few attractions, kids had a blast. The staff was great and kid friendly they were roaming around answering questions. They have 1 snack vendor but it looked sketchy I ordered popcorn and bottled drinks instead. I wish they partnered with a local restaurant and had real snack foods not carnival snacks. After roller skating a burger would've been nice. Also Make sure to dress warm if you go in the winter months. I had my coat on the whole time ,there was no heat!! I'd come back in late spring , early summer or fall because the kids had so much fun.

See all

Are you excepting walk-ins?

You can do Walk ins but it's better to reserve since when you go there they might not have enough space for you to paintball

The Lehigh River is a gem…read more The staff at WhiteWater Adventures is very unprofessional. On the van trip to the put in the driver and the safety boater loudly disscussed payroll issues, lunch issues with the on site café and their co workers. These two were audiable to us sitting in the back of the van. Once we got to the Lehigh River, I had hoped the staff would be more professional. I was wrong. Their behavior got worse. The Trip Leader, a man named Jake, openly swore. The staff dissed the customers. I understand that their needs to be an evaluation before a river trip. This wasn't an evaluation of skills. The staff were making fun of the customers. The Lehigh River is a gem. Just find another company to explore it with.

This is a great way to introduce yourself and your family/friends to whitewater rafting. Be…read moreprepared for a full day from sign in to finish. Check in, safety briefing, bus ride, rafting, swimming, lunch, rafting, swimming and final bus ride. Once back you cab change to dry clothes and hit the snack bar for food and libations. Big barn fire to hang around and chat. We were a group of 7 adults and had no problem all being in one boat. The family ride was very easy and controllable with few places to get hungup ( rocks, trees or underpass) There are guides in front, back and throughout to keep everyone safe and moving along. Overall we had a really good time rafting, paddling and having water fights with other boaters and the pirates. Watershoes a must, bring water to drink and water guns or canons to defend yourself. The lunch was all you could eat- hot dogs, PBJ's, chips, salad and water or lemonade. Can't wait to try a more challenging adventure next time. Enjoy!
