    The Big Apple fun center
    Angelique R.

    This place is great. We are traveling and stopped here in our way to Colorado and stayed overnight in the parking lot (reserved via Harvest Host), in exchange for staying we patronize the business, which is a nice system because now that I've been here I'd plan a stop here (also Hastings Museum 1 hour away and returning to Hastings Aquacourt -- there is not much else between Denver and Omaha and I sincerely appreciate this nice area!). *Kids and husband enjoyed pizza and wings; no gluten free options for me but there are other nearby food choices *Kids 6 and 9 loved "Ballocity" - we've never seen one this nice with the foam balls you can shoot! It wasn't dirty at all as another reviewer stated, and the slides were so cool *Husband and older kid enjoyed the VR experience and some games *Indoor go-carts were really nice *Ballocity has a kid and family-friendly eating area; other areas were well configured for adults including the "bar and grill" area with additional food options *We didn't get to bowl! But it looked nice and spacious We played for 2 hours and easily could have been entertained for 4+ but we'd already been to Aquacourt in Hastings on the same fun day. Hence we will have to return on our next road trip!

    SO MUCH FUN! Arcade, bowling, mini golf are all so much fun. I truly recommend going to the Big Apple Fun Center.

    Ridiculous open bowling fees. $32 an hour or $6.50 per game. Never seen those prices in another state.

    As an out of town southerner, this place is GREAT! Make sure you see Garrett and Kimmie at the bar, southern hospitality in the north!

    . Most of the activity for the day, however, was in the "Ballocity", a climbing, sliding, ball-shooting structure

    Clay Bowl - Interior decor.  This screams small town Nebraska.

    This is yet another restaurant that stands in as a perfect example of a rural Nebraska gem. The…read moreoutside is unassuming - in fact at first it's hard to tell it's a bowling alley, as it looks a bit like a bait and tackle store. But step inside and you are transported to the past; built in 1961, the decor and the style hasn't changed much since. The bowling alley is immaculate and the pin reset machinery is still the 1960s original. The advertisement signs are hand painted (and not just for looks - they are real ads). The restaurant is unassuming, with extremely informal tables and the kind of bar with dollar bills playfully stuck to the ceiling (if you don't know the trick, ask them, it'll only cost a dollar to show you). The food that I've tried (burgers and fries) is excellent. A burger of this caliber on the coasts would cost $25, easy, with thick handmade fresh beef patties. While I was there they were slow barbecuing a set of roasts on the outdoor grill - should be ready by tomorrow! The service was extremely kind, and the owner even showed me around the back machinery of the bowling alley when she noticed I was interested. This is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone already, the type of small town restaurant that is slowly disappearing from the American landscape. If you are stopping by in Sutton or traveling on the highway, it's worth a visit. If you like experiencing small town rural diners
