Game Worlds is a camp where kids learn the skills needed to make their very own video games…read more Real-world game developers guide kids through a crash course into how games are made, and help students bring their vision to life through practical skills such as digital art, audio engineering, programming, design, testing, writing, and business presentation. During one week Game Worlds summer camps attendees create games and at the end of the week can pitch the video game. Yesterday, Thing One came here for a birthday party (not a camp) and was able to play a game that was designed for up to 8 players. He also got to look at the D&D themed game room, and the game design room while there. We both met with Jennifer Noonan, the Co-Owner who explained the skills children can learn while attending camp and the tools children used to build these skills. Thing One enjoyed himself in the 4 hours there as he was able to explore the different gaming rooms and learn more about game design. He was also pleased to learn that Magic: The Gathering is played here on the weekend, which is one of his favorite games. This business serves as a great place to throw a teen's birthday party as it provides a large safe space for kids to game and is more intimate than some of the larger game-themed event spaces. #supportlocal Camp Info: Ages 8-18 When: 8:00am -5:00pm, Monday-Friday $695 per week

Kids have fun, but... 1) PUT SIGNS UP BY THE MASSAGE CHAIRS…read moreso that people know not to sit in chairs without paying! Making the chairs produce some annoying, distant sound doesn't stop "squatters" because they don't know that they're the reason for the incessant beeping! The shrill beeps seem like they're coming from somewhere far away, so when I sat in one of the chairs, another customer (NOT even an employee) was forced to graciously inform me that, to make the beeping stop, I had to pay for a massage, or move away. I was mortified, as well as infuriated that Urban Air didn't bother to post signs with this basic information. From then on, for at least 50% of every trip to Urban Air, I've heard the stupid, continuous beeping. Each time I look over to find the culprit, I see the noise pollution is caused by oblivious parents scrolling away on their phones, as they luxuriate in the comfort of these ill-designed chairs. The chairs keep screeching their obnoxious and passive-aggressive rejection of "free rides" for patrons, meanwhile failing to inform them of desired course of action. God, it makes this place a living h*ll... 2) PROVIDE MORE OUTLETS for working and non-working parents alike, who need to charge devices. The location that my children force me to frequent provides ONE outlet, under a booth table. If you don't snag the booth, forget your charging needs! Listen: No one wants to sit for 2-3 hours with a dying device, unable to their check email. If you don't bring a fully charged device, you can expect it to die sometime during the visit. There should be outlets next to each seating area along the walls. The answer is insanely simple -- if you want parents who are willing to bring their kids to Urban Air, make the parents happy.

Do not go here! DO NOT GO HERE! Do not go here!…read more Membership is misleading, and they have been unresponsive on canceling the membership. We provided all documentation for the written guidelines to cancel the membership and they continue to give us the runaround.. On top of that, the place is not safe. They do not adequately Train their staff and are significantly understaffed. Unfortunate. Don't let the other positive reviews mislead you as they are paying for box and most of them are not real. This is not a three star yelp establishment.

Finally--a place where my kids and I can have a blast together!…read more There are a lot of classic carnival rides/attractions like bumper cars and hall of mirrors. At the same time, there were tons of new rides, too! We purchased the wrist bands--which is such a good deal! Truth be told, my kids went on all of the rides, that they could, at least two times! There was also a bungee, catapult jumper--which is a hoot! You have to try it! My little guy loved the games, along the midway--but I mean.... Who doesn't love those?! Can we talk about the food? If you have to eat one thing while you're there, do yourself a favor and order a bucket o'fries! This isn't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill fries. They must be coated in fairy dust and deep fried in unicorn tears--they're that good! If you want to splurge, get the bucket o'cheesey fries--trust me, you won't be disappointed. "What if I get two things?" You say? Well, that's a no brainer--get the foot long corn dog--yummy! We've been to a couple of this family's carnivals. Their staff seems great and friendly! Many of them will strike up a conversation with my husband or I while waiting for our kids, outside of rides. Can't wait to try to catch up with this carnival in October, when we go to a family reunion in Louisiana!! Wait.... Am I a carnival groupie?!

The burgers, fries (oh my..I dream about the bucket o' fries), corn dogs and homemade lemonade seriously compete with independent food trucks in Austin. This is a local Austin family run business. We have come to know the owners as we go so often, thus when you visit The Mighty Thomas Carnival you are supporting a local business. The rides are fun and small enough that my 4 year old still has multiple ride options. I know that people sometimes are discouraged by the cost of going to a carnival. When you look around and see the cost of operating such a business, the cost of admission is totally appropriate. My kids love it the most and I do have this amazing nostalgic feeling walking around the midway, especially at night. It is such an enjoyable experience! Highly recommend this carnival, especially for families!
