The hubs and I ran the Dirty Dash in September of 2014 and had a blast. Just before the race…read morestarts, people can win prizes by volunteering to put on those inflatable bubble balls and run full speed at one another. Watching people bounce off each other and roll around is likely one of the top 10 things I find funniest in the entire world. You will need to tie your shoes on extra tight, and by shoes I mean wear tennis shoes. Running through the mud causes some sort of alien vacuum to occur and many people fell victim to it during the race; shoes were getting sucked off of people's feet left and right. It was like running through a shoe graveyard. I will say, the smell of the mud was pretty appalling, however, I would definitely do it again. We were covered from head to toe in mud. Though, I tried to laugh and speak intelligently while running the race by quickly closing my mouth, mud and grime still crept its way into my pearly whites and not to mention my my nose, ears, and eyes. There are pits of mud one must crawl or wade through, slides, monkey bars, ropes, you name it, they have it. (Ultimately, if you like being clean and think you can complete the race without ending it looking like a piggy, you are wrong and you should not do this. Period). This year DD is at it again September 19, 2015. Be there - try something new! It's a great time.

They have made improvements to some of the broken equipment but one of the main attractions (ninja course) is still down for what seems like forever. If i could i would give 3.5 stars due to the ninja course area being down, but due to everything else being great i rounded up to 4!

My SIL mentioned that Sky Zone is a bigger name and comes from out of state, but don't quote me quoting her lol. My kids love going here. They ask all the time to go. There are various sections like the foam pit, dodgeball-type area with ramps and basketball hoops and there is a main trampoline area in the middle. They let kids of all ages on from little tots all the way up to more mature folks, as in, adults. During our visit, something I had not seen at previous businesses is that they have organized games on the trampolines, which I thought was nice, but I feel like the little ones should have their own area because there were a few times that they came really close to getting trampled on. It was hard to watch. Things to note: - you must sign a waiver for your kids before jumping, the QR code can be found upon entry - they have memberships available - a one time jump pass was $22/child - you can bring your own jump socks, but they also have some for purchase - they also have drinks and snacks available in vending machines, but during out visit, it was over the holiday break and it was prime time, and the water machine was empty Be careful and enjoy! Never stop exploring!

This felt like a ploy to spend more money as we had to wait with five children around arcade games. When it was finally our play time the kids were called back. (There was only one other family waiting to play). Their play time was supposed to be twenty minutes but instead of receiving the whole twenty minutes to play, the prep was rolled in it, as well as debrief. They went in at 2:03 and were walking out at 2:18. Although they had fun it was disappointing to not get all the play time you were told you'd get. There was no one waiting to go in after them so I don't understand why it was so rushed. The person working was kind enough but couldn't answer any of our questions.

They do not allow outside food but their food services are from a Chesapeake vendor small pizzas so plan accordingly you can't re-order anything and you can't bring anything from outside food. No ice so when ordering drinks make sure you ask if you can bring your own.... Our drinks were warm and there is no water fountain. They claim they called to confirm but I didn't want to get into it with the representative as she was rude when addressing the food issue. We made it work. However, when planning a special event you should feel welcomed not like they are in a rush to get you out of there. Their staff should be more welcoming that is what sets a business apart... the experience with the venue and staff was less than pleasant. The food should be more available there are plenty of local vendors or at minimum allow to bring your pizzas and drinks than it's on the customer. Although the kids had fun since they are kids I will not Recommend this venue for a birthday party or any special event.

Decided to give this place a try while out on the boardwalk. They have a mirrors maze downstairs…read moreand a Selfie/Funhouse upstairs, so we decided to do both. We did have a 30 minute wait to do the Funhouse so we decided to do the maze first. The maze wasn't very long, honestly probably five minutes or less to go through it, so we basically went back and forth through the maze numerous times to pass the time. I would give the maze a 6/10; it was decently fun, but would've been better if there was just more to it and it was longer. *they take and hold purses/bags with them behind the counter while you're in the maze; you get your purse back before you go upstairs though* As for the Selfie/Funhouse, I definitely loved the concepts/themes in the different rooms and the trippy aspects in each room. I recall there were only 4 rooms and a few decorated/themed walk through halls. I would give it an 8/10; I thought it was pretty cool. Definitely felt like it could've used a few more rooms/interactive areas. For what they provided though, I would say it was a pretty decent experience. You definitely go through the entire thing in about 15-20 minutes, so just like the maze, not very long; really just in and out. After doing it once, I don't see myself going back again unless they were to add some new aspects to the place. My overall rate of experience : 7/10

Their website clearly outlines their fees, their guidelines, and their procedures. When I had questions about the weather and the video packages, they answered the phone and quickly responded to my questions and concerns. A few days prior to the experience, they emailed me with instructions, noting the need to watch the safety and procedures video. Once the day arrived for my skydive, I arrived and was quickly greeted by staff. The check in was quick and easy. I then met my expert skydiver, Matt Allen, who was absolutely amazing. He clearly explained the procedures and then harnessed me up for the ride of a lifetime. The staff informed us that there would be a slight delay because of cloud coverage that day. For the novice, this was a very comforting thing. I can not stress enough how fantastic Matt Allen was on this journey, from the pre-flight training to the actual freefall to the smooth landing. I also purchased the picture and video package to commemorate this occasion. My videographer, whose name was Mikel (at least, I think it was), did an outstanding job with the photography and videos. The pre-interview, the in-plane activities, the freefall, and the landing were all included in the package. I am so glad that I purchased these extras. Honestly, I was so in the moment with Matt and Mikel that I didn't remember some of the parts of the experience. The pictures and especially the videos helped jog my memory and will be a great source to help me relive this journey. Thanks again to all the staff at Suffolk Skydive.

Instructors were great (always felt safe and secure), front desk not so much. When we arrived…read more(family of 3) we were told we had to split up and 1 person would have to go alone. This was our first jump and we wanted to do it together. We declined but we were told if we didn't split they wouldn't video the jump. We valued jumping together more than a video so we declined again. Come jump time, one of our instructors wore a camera, another had just filmed a previous jumper and mine put his camera away. Pretty dumb actually because they could have made another 450 bucks. We still have the memories of jumping together, they lost 450 bucks and future clients.

First, you run on the actual beach between 7th street to about 30th and then run the final mile or so on the boardwalk back to 9th. Second, the race was kicked off with skydivers from Skydive Suffolk who dropped in in front of the start line and the national anthem was played for the final skydiver who had an American flag flying as he came in. Absolutely awesome. Third, they host several fun runs in the weeks leading up to the race and if you attend four of them (usually there are 5 or 6) you get a free gift. Usually a sweatshirt, blanket, nice cup or cooler or something. The free gift changes every year. You simply attend and check in every week so they can track your attendance. I'm always traveling around this time for my bday so I never get the gift but I love the motivational aspect of that. It's awesome. There is a post race party at The Shack with live music and, you guessed it, free crushes. You get a race packet and cute race medal for running and it's a smaller, local's race so it's fun to come to the beach, run, and then enjoy brunch or lunch somewhere on the water.

Organized: Check-in went very well with a decent race goodie bag and nice race shirt. The 2015 t-shirt choice was a patriotic tank top patriotic. The race is controlled start with Team Hoyt going first (as it should be) then 5-10min later the launch of everyone else. Orange cones and race personnel kept everyone on track and the whole event following. I never saw or heard of any hiccups. Parking: Plenty of parking next between the Y and Mt. Trashmore. No problem getting in or out. Race Route: Start (and end) on South Blvd. in front of Mt. Trashmore YMCA. From there you'll enter the park on Mt Trashmore Blvd for about 1.5mi around the back area between the two lakes before popping back on the Mt. T Blvd and South Blvd. Pre and Post Race Activities: For being a small race of approximately 550 to 600 runners it had one of the better set-ups for activities. Child play area, DJ, fruit (oranges, banana's, apples), water bottles, vendors with goodie items. Good job YMCA! Overall: It was a nice fun run supporting the YMCA's programs or for training for a competitive run but not much more than that.

The staff and incredibly friendly and the flight instructors here are incredibly talented, skilled, and well trained. You can definitely tell they take safety seriously. The best part is, if you want to go again, they will absolutely let you! You can get more time and even high flights while in the tunnel! The sky is the limit if you want to have a good time! After my first flight, I knew this is something I would want to do again, so I signed up for the L1FT program! It's a much cheaper option that will get you 1 on 1 time with a coach to get you proficient at belly and maybe even back flying! You can also buy return packages if you don't think you want to be a member, but want discounted rates for you, your friends, or your family. I absolutely recommend this option if there isn't an iFly near you. If you're in the area, you definitely need to stop by and check it out! Leave mundane at the door, and walk into a world of excitement!
