    After horseback riding with 8 and 11 at the Bunker Park Stables, we came to the Fun Lab for lunch…read moreand some gaming. There is a lot to do here and some of it is more experiential than most locations with games. They had laser tag, for instance, which the kids just loved. They had dodge-em cars which were very popular as well, but the games were not as good as we have experienced at Dave & Buster's in Edina or at the Burrough out in Victoria. Their game card is very confusing. You buy a $50 card, but it only has 25 points on it. But it gives you unlimited use of some of the experiential games. So we wasted a lot of time upfront trying to figure that out. Front desk staff was helpful, but in general, the supervising teenagers there were aloof and just doing their jobs. They have a small grill and the food was surprisingly good. My husband had an excellent hamburger with french fries and the kids and I each had small individual size pizzas which were very good. I asked the kids to rate it while we were in the car and they gave it five stars. But when they compared it to Dave & Buster's, they gave it no stars to Dave & Buster's 10 stars. I give it overall four stars and I'm taking a Star away because the bathrooms were dirty and 3 out of 4 bathrooms none of the water was working in the sinks so we couldn't wash our hands. They win on Dodge cars, laser tag, and decent snacks.

    We came on a Monday which was a little less crowded, but there was still quite a few kids about…read more My older daughter and some tore through the rope climb. Many of the machines were not working and only 4 bumper cars were operating. Seems like maintenance issues aren't addressed from prior posted reviews. There was only a single worker in the restaurant area who was in the back the whole time. Decided to eat elsewhere.

    We love the Mermaid! Come for the affordable late night bowling and stay for some beer and pizza…read more The manager, Keith, is very nice and we love the waitress who is usually working the bowling lanes. Coming to the Mermaid is a special treat for our kids, who enjoy bumper bowling and the arcade games. Mom and Dad like all the craft beer options they have on tap and the solid pepperoni pizza. I'll be honest, I haven't tried other menu options but I intend to one of these days. I love that they brought the Mermaid status back - check it out!

    Giving three stars due to our initial service. We had a large group, and tables were open, the…read moresassy waitress said we could wait while she cleans them and have those tables, so we waited only to be told by her that she's unsure if we can have those tables now. After 15mins of waiting, seriously? To top it off, she had quite the attitude. She went to find the manager to see if we could indeed, sit at the three open tables - after waiting some more, the manager said we could have them after an additional 30min wait - because the section had too many people. First of all, I wouldn't have even waited the first 15mins had I know all this from the start - we would've just went to the bowling side first. I told the manager that we were going to go to the bowling side, to which he replied they are also busy so we probably won't get a spot - literally a 2min wait and we were set with three lanes. The good part - our waitress at the bowling alley, she was great and the bowling staff was super helpful and nice! After about 30mins, the manager comes to find us at the bowling alley, to ask us if we wanted those tables again...uh no, we are already seated? So when I said no thank you, he laughed in annoyance and walked off.

    Last night I visited Top Golf for the first time to celebrate my birthday and had a fantastic time!…read moreWe got 90 minutes of play time and two entrees (which were fantastic) for a great deal. Both our server (don't remember his name but he had medium length blonde hair) and the manager Queen were lovely, attentive and made my first experience at the venue a very positive one. I will be back soon.

    I came to TopGolf with a party of 6 during their nonpeak hours. We had a 2-hour session and we were…read moreplaced at a bay with only a high-top table. The table wasn't really that comfortable honestly; it was bulky and made the bay too crowded for our party of 6. I would have much preferred a bay with couch seating, as it would have been easier to munch on food while watching each other swing the golf club. Food wise, my group decided to get the Fairway Feast, which included 6 smash burger sliders, 1 pound of crinkle cut fries, and 18 wings with 2 sauce choices (we got the garlic parm and buffalo). Sliders were just okay, they taste like burger king sliders where the patties don't really have much flavor. The wings were solid and crispy, but the true saving grace was the fries: crispy and melty when you bite into them and also very easy to much on. Gameplay wise, golfing is fun when you're with the right people! Of note, I also came back here a second time for my birthday, as TopGolf offers you a $20 play credit. I booked a 1 hour session during off-peak hours and ended up playing for free (we both have accounts, so no need for the one-time $6 sign up fee). I only went with myself and my partner this time, so we got a very comfortable amount of golf swings in. Ironically, we also got a bay with couch seating, which was miles more better than the high-top tables I had gotten before.

    I took my niece out for her belated birthday and gave her options to pick. She likes claw arcades…read more Down the street from my house too, I've driven past this place so many times and had not checked them out. Cute little arcade, they have 2 rows of claw machines to play, some claw machine requires 1 to 3 tokens. Depending on how big the teddy bears are. Once you enter, you're greeted by the cashier that explains everything. The tokens are $1 each, the more you purchase will get extra. For example I chose $30 and I received 35 tokens. Cashier handed us the tokens in a basket and clear bag for your winnings. Once you're done playing, you can trade the stuffed animals for something else behind the counter. Fun place for kids or dates.

    I've been wanting to visit here for a while. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a staff member who…read moreis very friendly and helpful, with reasonable pricing for the token. I don't remember the rest, but I saw $10 for 10 tokens or $20 for 25 tokens. Those are the prices I was looking at. It turns out I spent a total of $40. It's a great place for little kids. You are given a bag to keep all of the plush in. The win ratio was good too. I think in 45 minutes, I had 13 plushies total + 1 keychain, and I traded 10 plush for a giant Jigglypuff. I wish all the machines were one token, but some were 1, 2, or 4 tokens. (Like Spiderman was 2 tokens...) Prize trade-in was good. The highest cost was 12 plushies. The big one like Jigglypuff was 10. The next was 5 plushies. They also have some Pop Mart items in a shelf. No labubu. Check out their Facebook page or Instagram for hour updates. They just went into their summer hours. Unfortunately, Yelp won't let me suggest an edit for a Facebook or Instagram link.

It almost seems like some of the items were too slippery so you couldn't get a good drip on them. Claw games are notoriously bad though so I don't see this as too different from a standard claw machine. The workers might help with placement of a particular item for kids so ask for some help. I'm appreciative of their help and still think it's worth a visit.

    My first time visiting a claw arcade. We were grabbing coffee next door and needed to waste a bit…read moreof time before our next plans. We luckily got there early before it got busier. It's a smaller arcade. They have a prize upgrade system as well as if you win a prize out of a claw machine and it's not the color you want they let you swap it with a different one (has to be from the same machine). They are also kind enough to "reset" the plushies to help make it easier to win them. It for sure can get addicting quick trying to win particular plushies. They do charge a small fee for using cards vs cash, so I suggest bringing a bit of cash. You also get more tokens the more you buy. Each machine takes 1 token to play. I felt like the prizes were a lot better quality than what I thought they would be. You can trade 15 of the smaller plushies for a big one (or different prizes in general). Overall a fun place. Plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. Nice staff.
