    My son and I had so much fun. Owner Mike goes the extra mile to help. You can tell that this is a labor of love for him. These kinds of businesses are truly near extinct. Takes genuine love and passion to keep the doors open.

    Great time. Boy 11, Girl 9 loved it. Didnt want to leave. @5 bucks/kid/per 15 min.

    I remember slot car racing from when I was a kid, 46 now. I was hoping it still existed and wanted to show my kids. If I just showed them pictures and tried to explain it they wouldn't want to go. So I just said one Saturday I'm taking you for a surprise. The ride sucked with them asking what it is/where were going. We arrived, they showed mediocre interest, and then the owner showed them one of the cars race around the track. He can adjust speeds of the track. They loved it and were hooked within 60 seconds. I think we paid 5 dollars/kid for 15 minutes. I think we were there an hour. They didn't want to leave! The owner was great: showed them how to do it, gave tips how to race them, how to handle corners, and even set up a 10 lap timed race at the end. Great time. If you get the chance...Try it! My kids are 9 girl and boy 11. They didnt want to leave. Happy to see places like this still exist. Nice break from Fortnite!

    Seriously, great fun for anyone, any age.

    We worked with Mike to coordinate a surprise birthday party for our 5 year old who's obsessed with cars.

    Dean's Dugout - What a great release day! Benjamin got a prismatic evolution box and had a blast opening it there.

    I love this place. The couple who owns it are super nice and helpful. Great selection of Pokémon…read morecards, Gundam, even Vanguard and Weiss Schwartz! Very reasonable prices and selection. They also have sports cards from also every sport. Highly recommended!

    IF YOUR A NEW PLAYER STAY AWAY. Mixed feelings about this place mostly bad. Events are well priced,…read moreand food is sometimes included. I've been to Dean's dugout occasionally for magic the gathering events, and have found myself frustrated multiple times with round times going over because judge/owner doesn't pay attention. I am prompted to leave this review tonight because of an experience I had taking my new friend to a magic the gathering pre-release. My friend was completely new to the game and I asked his opponents before each round if it was all right to intervene and help him remember triggers, explain what cards do, etc. everything was quite nice up until the second round, his opponents were kind and patient, helping him find a love for the game. The judge approached us after the second round to explain to me that I wasn't allowed to intervene with another game. I kindly explained to him that his opponents were completely fine with my intervention. After going back-and-forth for a few minutes, we were kicked out of the event. I went to go talk to the owner to get a second opinion on the matter. He proceeded to yell at us to get out of the store and make a scene in front of all of the players. I never remembered Friday night Magic being so uptight. I wish I could go back 5 to 10 years when new players were invited, not screamed at. WILL NOT BE COMING BACK AGAIN. Very strange and sad to see a store run like this.
